The threat of democracy

Trade union leaders are worried that they will never again be able to posture for the TV cameras at a big strike if the Tories win in May. Dave the Leader wants strike ballots to have votes cast by at least 50% of the union's membership, and at least 40% of the entire membership must agree to call a strike. Union bosses fear that their memberships are such a bolshy lot, that it will be impossible to persuade as much as 40% of them to agree on anything.

Who creates the need for the biggest sick-bag?

Was N. Farage’s alleged attempt to make political capital out of the terrorist attack in France any more sickening than Red Ed’s decision to “weaponize” the NHS? Or Dave the Leader’s pretence that he cares about Press freedom?

Security at UK borders has been “stepped up” following the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris. The gesture is not expected to make a blind bit of difference vis a vis preventing a similar attack by the Islamist Fifth Column in Britain. But it does give the police further opportunities to show off their guns.

Are we thinking what Nigel is thinking?

The other political leaders put on a display of collective sham hump when the UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, dared to acknowledge that there’s a Fifth Column of Islamist terrorists in this country. Obviously, the knees were jerked as a result of collective guilt: on the part of Labour for dragging every migrant they could collect here in the hope of buying their votes with taxpayers’ cash, and on the part of the others, like Dave the Leader, for going along with the whole multiculturalism sham at the expense of Britishness.

Real knowledge vs fancy

Sometimes, an expert just needs to find the right form of words to get a message across. Like the one who announced that if the body’s liver and kidneys are working properly, then they provide all the detoxification that the human body needs. So a celeb “expert” who feeds herself a mushed-up slurry of garden weeds in the hope of doing herself some good is just an ignorant masochist.

Murder Tourists

Is it possible to feel any sympathy for the British Islamists, who went to Syria and Iraq to kill people, and were killed themselves when they decided they didn’t like it and wanted to go home? Not really. One is left only with a sense that Britain is a better place without them.

Killing the Cult of Personality

A South Korean “activist” says he will dump copies of the film The Interview, which provoked a cyber attack on Sony in the US, over North Korea during this month. He aims to destroy Kim Il Whoever’s image by unloading 100,000 DVDs and data sticks from a balloon over a country where hardly anyone who isn’t a member of the Stoogery owns a DVD player or a PC. Yep, sounds like a great idea. Not.
