It's worth bearing all this in mind for the big demonstration planned on March 18th which meets at noon in Parliament Square. I wonder if they are going to try and arrest thousands of people. So far they are just making a fuss about signing petitions.

There is increasing restriction on this square, demonstrating on which can be judged a serious crime under last year's law. Maybe we should say we will only be judged by god."http://www.stopwar.org.uk/new/Lindsey.htm

Hey everybody! Jack’s back!

One slice of specious turd-pie is evidently not enough for some people. Following his almost entirely erroneous and patronising piece in the Guardian a while back, our *beloved* foreign-secretary has popped up in the Independent today to tell the 40,00…

Fear and Loathing in the Lords

Charlie Falconer, he of ‘no groundswell’ fame, is at the centre of Labour’s latest move to enshrine themselves into parliament legend and rule unopposed until God himself is forced to get off his decadent arse and kick them out. Unhappy…
