What The Romans Did For Us> ad how it may help us resist the wisdom of crowds and think for ourselves.
by John De Roe
March 2007Are we about to sacrifice the most wonderful and valuable of the many things the Romans and other ancient civilisations did for us to the worship of the new, synthetic god technology and the wisdom of the crowd?
Obama's Climate Change Folly
Obama's climate change bill is so loony it makes even his insane financial policy look like the work of a competent government. If the world's future is in the hands of politicians and scientists is there any hope at all for saving civilisation?
Iranians Did Not Drink The Kool Aid
One of the first indication Barack Obama received that his 'President Of The Entiure Universe And Everything Else Besides' bubble was about to burst was when he did not get the result in the Iranian election that he wanted. In the wake of that his supporters attempts to forment revolution and overthrow the anti - American government of Iran failed. Planet Reality must look bleak to Barry
Sleeping With Conservatives - The Sex Of Politics by ianrthorpe 2009-10-08

Guinness Gazing Education Expert.
The latest recommendations from the health and safety nannies and the politically correct thought police to halt all scientific experiments in school classrooms in the interests of child safety makes mockery of the givernment's pledges to boost science teaching in schools. So where will the do -gooders attack next?
Learn Yersel Jadeish.
The government is in the process of revising immigration policy in response to complaints that people who come here to work should be able to speak English. But academic tutoring may not prepare people for the workplace, they need to learn English like what it is spoke.
GCSE English? F*ck Off.
One of the recurring themes in the education debate is the issue of dumbing down. Educationalists always insist this is not happening. One examiner when making this year's english papers was plleasantly surprised by an erudite answer we are happy to report

It is the medical scandal that refuses to go away. Since its introduction controversy has surrounded the MMR vaccine because in a small number - and we must stress, a small number - of cases children develop serious and permanent side effects after reveiving the vaccine...
A Radical New Political Idea
The two party system is dead and yet the main parties, while paying lip service to the idea of electoral reform are in a position to carve up the electoral map between them so that the unrepresentative forst past the post system is perpetuated and 75% of British effectively are disenfranchised. Does this radical new idea offer some hope?
A Case Of Reverse Racism
If a visiting professor at a leading Univerrsity, an eledrly white man, molested and made indecent suggestions to a young female pupil there would be a huge outcry and rightly so. Whatever our politics we should be apalled at such behaviour. Yet when an elderly black man does the same thing the politically correct fringe, the one who scream most loudly about

A bitchy homosexual attacks a Chistian beauty queen, the religious right respond. The gay lobby hit back by revealing the young woman has very ungodly silicon enhanced breasts. What do the fundies do? They find a phrase in the Bible that justifys breast implants. Brilliant

Can Ritalin Really improve humankind?
Forget the Swine Flu pandemic, it will not happen or by the time you read this it may be more appropriate to say 'It did not happen' The obsession of control freak governments and greedy corporation with spoonfeeding the enire population drugs and vaccines grows. We now hear people are persuaded to give healthy kids Ritalin to improve their academic performance"
European Turkeys?
As everyone else worries about the EU getting too big, too bureaucratic, too centralised and too expensive to run the federalist Euroloonies of Nu Labour are clamouring for non European nations to be allowed to join. They would start with Turkey but where would they like to see Europe end. Japan? Western Samoa?
Beauty And The Beastly Homo
What happens when an ugly, bitter gay man turms on an All American Beauty with pert, pneumatic breasts and preternaturally white teeth? Battle lines are hastily drawn and that already horribly divided nation is torn a little further apart, that's what.
The Swine Flu Conspiracy
The Swine Flu Conspiracy? As the Fear and Panic industry gears up to sell us all doses of toxic shite in the guise of a vaccine to protect us from the 'second wave' of that nasty Swine Flu pandemic that you may recall was going to wipe us all out earlier in the year,
Magic Money, The Free Market Illusion Not so long ago politicians and bankers were full of confidence bordering on hubris and they were telling us the good times could go on for ever. So where did it all go wrong. The finance industry blame politicians, politicians blame the finance industry and they all blame us as they try to dream up schemes that will enable the world to carry on prining worthless money and lending it to each other...
The G20 Witch Hunt
It was clear at the inaugural summit meeting of the G20 group of world leaders that solutions were needed. So why his they spend three days an billions of £$€ in taxpayers money sitting around stuffing their faces with fine food and slurping the best wines while doing nothing except point fingers and shift blame?

The Great Climate Change Science Scam
by Ian R. Thorpe
I have been campaigning about climate change for over thirty years. Now, the more I read of efforts by governments, academics and corporate interests to come up with a quick fix the more I am convinced they are working a scam to make quick, easy money. For decades the only people concerned about the environment were considered cranks, hippies, crusties, crackpots and

Lib Dems Must Stop Themselves Sailing Into The West
Following a reasonably successful conference a couple of weeks ago the Liberal Democrats have edged above Labour in some polls. Though the party leaders cannot do other than celebrate this in public, privately they should be worried. At their annual conference in Brighton this week Labour have turned in a similarly solid performance with no splits, the rumoured political assassination of Gordon Brown did not take place and there were no major gaffes though when the right wing press identify the similarities between Labour's plan to deal with the problem of single parent families and the BNP's Gulags For Slags policy I think the Labour baiters will have a field day.
Next week it is the turn of the Conservatives. Despite their high poll rating the Tories have not yet won over the electorate. Too many people ...

Freedom Of Speech And The Right To Offend
The Dark Forces of politically correct tyranny are at work everywhere, telling us what we can and cannot say, do and think. The Politically Correct Thought Police and their cohort Nanny State are omnipresent, curtailing our civil liberties and refusing to allow us to do anything that may possibly put us at risk of having fun. But there are still freethinkers and anarchists out there, people prepared to raise their heads at the bullyboys of wussiness and promote our right to make our own choices.

Politically Correct Liars

A Tenor Less
Everybody loves those operatic tenors who sing the great arias in such impassioned tones, even people who are normally opera haters.

What A Pagan Believes
So many people misunderstand what it means to be pagan, some deliberately because they are determined to decry every faith, religion or belief system except their own, some because their only information on pagan beliefs come from films like The Wicker Man and some because they like the idea of being slightly sinister and edgy. They are all wrong of course. So what does a pagan believe.

Electricity bills set to rise to pay for wind farm subsidies
While sensible people agree that the climate is causing serious problems few people still think this is due solely to CO2 emissions from human activity. Even the author of Gaia theory has said the problem is more complex. Unfortunately climate scientists with their snouts in the tax money trough are still pushing the discredited idea that wind turbines and solar panels can meet our energy needs. Well if that is the case why are domestic fuel bills rising to pay for subsidies paid to the operators of these failed technologies. [ also Daily Stirrer 21 May 2012

The Folly Of Trying To Inflate Away Debt
As the debt crisis grinds on and the creit crunch mutates into the credit famine the clueless politicians and even more clueless economists and academics who advise them can only think of one course of action.

Inflation is the cruellest tax, destroying the savings and pensions of sensible people and rewarding irresponsibility.
