I couldn't resist pinching this.

Is John Prescott long for this world?
Judging by the Great Dissembler's performance on Hard Talk he is not likely to last out until the next general election.
As a fellow Type 2 diabetes sufferer I know that John needs to avoid stress otherwise he is going to pop his clogs very soon.
Tom Harris spots a cunning stunt
"I strongly suspect that this video owes more to special effects than to precision engineering, but it’s nevertheless a truly incredible spectacle. Enjoy"
This is a quote from that doyen of Labour MP bloggers. Is he stupid or has he been so stupefied by 12 years of Labour spin and lies that he can't spot an obvious illusion?
What am I saying! He's a Labour MP - of course he's stupid and he can't be anything other than stupefied. He sees a cunning stunt but thankfully, most people now seem to realise that the illusion of a Labour government ever being good for this country is history. What a bunch of stunning..... chaps!

Will Irish eyes be smiling...?
My mother was born in County Wexford in 1917 so I can claim some Irish blood. Although she lived in England from 1933 until her death last year at the age of 91 she was forever a loyal daughter of the Emerald Isle. She was always ambivalent about her de facto Britishness and always considered herself to be Irish.
I think I know what she would say about this disgraceful attempt to coerce the Irish people to give their freedom away to the "European Union". Vote "NO" in October and stop the Lisbon Treaty being ratified.

I would like to thank.....
I have just returned from a very exciting short holiday in New York to find that my little effort at blogging has been placed 78th in the top 100 Conservative blogs in the Total Politics lists for 2009.
Wow! What an honour (or is that honor?) to be placed in the list for the first time. Considering that I have been effectively inactive for the last few months it amazes me that I have been noticed by any one, especially as there are so many better and more interesting contributors out there.
I hope this will spur me on to make more of an effort over the coming months. Many thanks to those of you that voted for me.

Good result for me - bad news for society
I was very happy receive a call from the local police's burglary prevention unit earlier today to say that they had caught the little swine who robbed us last week. He is a heroin addict who, together with three friends, has been roaming the local neighbourhood for the last couple of months during the early hours and carrying out opportunistic thefts to fund their habit. He had coughed up all his TIAs - presumably so he gets a more lenient sentence - but apart from a ladies watch - none of the property he has stolen has been recovered.
Although I had insurance I am more than the £50 excess out of pocket - for example, the new laptop I have received only has 'trial' software loaded on it which will cost me well over £100 to re-purchase in a couple of months. And then there is the loss of about five years-worth of family photos that were stored on that CD which has not been recovered.
As he sits in his cell on remand, receiving his regular doses of methadone, I wonder if he contemplates the irony of his incarceration? He has had to work hard to fund his habit but now his whole existence will be funded by the taxpayer without any effort on his part. No doubt when he starts his sentence at Her Majesty's pleasure he will have ready access to copious supplies of heroin and any other drugs he fancies. He will also be able to develop his skills as a thief by way of the master classes run by his fellow criminal masterminds. In a relatively short time he will be out on the streets again and no doubt putting his new found thieving skills into practice.
It also seems that there is a remarkably efficient black market industry that allows these thieves to turn their ill-gotten gains into hard cash (or drugs) almost immediately they have stolen them. What does this say about British society when so many people appear to be prepared to buy obviously stolen goods?
