No leader + sex scandals = less of a liability than having Blair in charge as Dunfermline and West Fife turns orange. I find that rather funny. Well done, Lib Dems – turning a Labour majority of 11,500 into a … Continue reading →

Stop it already with this stupid nonsense over those bloody cartoons… Now some bright spark – aka the EU’s Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini – seems to be caving in to the barmy religious fundamentalist brigade. He’s called for a meeting … Continue reading →

Is there anything Blair and co AREN’T going to announce major “reforms” of before the local elections kick off? (Note that in the councils going to the polls, Labour only had 69 more seats than the Tories last time around…) … Continue reading →
