Lots of people are starting to pick up on this letter at the CEP Blog from Terry White of the Communications Unit of the Labour Party:
Dear Correspondent,
Thank you for your email.
Neither the Labour Party nor the Labour Government are pursuing the policy towards England or the English that you claim.
England, as opposed to Britain, has […]
In the incoming statistics I noted a link coming from the “Top 40 Conservative European English Speaking Blogs”. It’s a trifle disturbing for someone who once stood as the communist candidate in the “general election” when I was at school. I think it’s because, being English I associate the idea of “being conservative” with (and […]
“The tactic involves police marksmen shooting a suspected suicide bomber in the head with no warning to stop them from detonating their device. It was developed as part of Operation Kratos, the Yard’s strategy to counter suicide terrorists.”
My emphasis. Fair enough. If that’s the best way to stop a suicide bomber, I wouldn’t want to […]
The final reading of the ID Cards bill passed with a majority of 25 yesterday. Mr. Nosemonkey as well as Andrew and John are more than a tad aggrieved at the number of Conservative MPs who didn’t bother turning up to vote against this nasty piece of authoritarian legislation.
What surprised me more were the Labour […]
Despite my general disapproval of the shops being closed on the Day Of German Re-Unification, I don’t want to imply the fall of the Berlin wall was A Bad Thing. I’m still somewhat surprised however that the Linke.PDS still managed to attain 8.7% of the vote in the recent elections. Don’t you remember what some […]
I think, although I’m not entirely sure I’m quoting Steven Wright when I say, “Broken promises don’t upset me. I just think, why did they believe me?”
I did, however, say that I was going to write about the German elections but in fact I found something much more exciting and enjoyable to do (and if […]
There is, of course, a minor problem with stating that one will talk about German politics: it’s boring as hell.
Admittedly, now and again they’ll try and take over the world, but usually, German politics is sleep-inducing. Hitler might not have been an entirely decent bloke, but at least he’d give us bloggers something to discuss […]
German elections always take place on a Sunday. British ones on a Thursday, that’s just the way things are: Americans set off fireworks on July 4th, the French on July 14th, us Brits on November 5th. I’m not saying that we Brits are more sensible in waiting until the nights go dark at 4:30 p.m. […]
Last Thursday, the forthcoming German elections were declared constitutionally legal. Hence on Friday morning on the way to my bakery, lots of men in white vans were fighting for the most prominent places to hang their placards. And interesting to talk to they were too: I “liked” the Republikaner the best; two men, one […]
Even if you’re right, in many societies it’s considered impolite to say, “it’s your own fault”, whilst rescue workers are still pulling the bodies of victims of natural disasters out of trees.
