More free promo for the BNP, this time from the Independent.
Apparently the BNP are doing well* online and this has alarmed
Dr Goodwin [of Manchester University, who] says: “The BNP’s shift to an Obama-style online strategy enables it to circumvent the tactics used by other parties to starve it of publicity and also shows up [...]

Undesirable effect

National treasure leg-iron is on top form at present:
The equinoxes are of special significance in health care and all the doctor’s patients will die unless he performs a ceremony at midnight, naked and soaked in goat’s blood and gecko urine while chanting the words to Kraftwerk’s ‘Trans Europe Express’ backwards over a candle made from [...]
Election petition
Posted in Politics, tagged election petition on 19 May, 2009 | 4 Comments »
The Macaroon (540kcal/100g) wants us to sign a petition demanding a general election.
He would not, of course, be doing this if he did not suppose that his party would be the ultimate beneficiary.
For myself I am inclined to believe that now would be a better time than later, after the loyal MSM have had time [...]
Boris Johnson, not-MP

Dr. Sean Gabb of the Libertarian Alliance on the subject of Boris Johnson, who, if Dr. Gabb is right, may end up being the next but one Prime Minister.
Worth reading in its entirety. Either this is a most unlikely set of coincidental circumstances or there really is something peculiar going on.
D-notice, MP
Posted in Politics, tagged independents on 19 May, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I note that D-notice is going to stand for Parliament as an independent.
One of D-notice’s policies is more or less exactly the same as one proposed by Mr. Venezia (mentioned in the last article), to do with open-source public purpose software.
I don’t know whether D-notice has read the LPUK manifesto. Perhaps it might be of [...]
Wasted vote

There is much talk of the forthcoming EU elections, and how well UKIP might do as a result of protest votes against not only the government (wholly corrupt) but also its immediate opponents (likewise).
Having no recollection whatsoever of having been asked to vote for or against Britain’s membership of this absurd organisation I have no [...]

Gerald Warner, in the Telegraph, remarks upon the ‘alternative’ to the National Socialist British Labour party offered by Macaroon and his merry minions.
If you imagine voting for any of the established parties at Westminster will achieve anything other than your further impoverishment, exploitation, oppression, and being treated with contempt by the fraudsters who despise your [...]
The responsibility of the people, etc.

It appears that the Daily Telegraph (six secondary links) has taken to heart recent criticism of its apparent sympathy for the government.
The BBC’s 9 o’clock news on Radio 4 was a collector’s item. The first, and very nearly the only, item was a lengthy and spirited defence of Gordon Brown and his minions, with lots [...]
Ambitious
Posted in Politics, tagged Harman, Labour leadership on 4 May, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Still on the subject of Thatcher, I have the definite recollection that before she became Prime Minister she insisted, over and over again, that she had no such ambition, even going so far as to say on one occasion that she doubted that there would be a female Prime Minister in her own lifetime.
With this [...]
The crimes of Thatcher

I am much obliged to Dr. Sean Gabb at the Libertarian Alliance for his trenchant analysis of the general awfulness of Margaret Thatcher.
Impressed by the mountains of rubbish and unburied corpses left by her Socialist predecessors, I made the mistake of voting for her party in 1979, and have never forgiven myself for so doing.
I [...]
