Tories on the up?

November 24, 2003

Samizdata.net reports: “In a swipe at William Hague, who scoffed at the ‘slickness’ of New Labour, Lord Saatchi said that the Tories should embrace the new media age by overcoming two key ‘myths’ that soundbites and focus groups are wrong. ‘If you can’t reduce your argument to a few crisp words or phrases it probably [...]

Bipartisanship forever

November 24, 2003

One good blog deserves another…..

November 24, 2003

Got an email today from Ande’s Blog asking me to take a look at it. In fact, ironically I got it just as I got to the end of my crazy round of blatant, and I hope at times funny, campaigning for the King of Blogs contenst. The email got me thinking, as Ande is [...]

America’s Guilt: the Prisoners in a Legal Black Hole

November 23, 2003

The 600 Guantanamo Bay prisoners to my mind remain the single most difficult to justify act of the Allies since 9/11. I have yet to hear a single credible defense of this action. Having said that, I have also yet to hear a single credible alternative course of action suggested.

A serious post…..

Instaking of Blogging?

November 23, 2003

A few months ago I called Joshua Claybourn the King of Christian Blogs This was because I genuinely believed it to be true, and did not despite rumours to the contrary comprise a pathetic attempt at self promotion by a lowly new blogger. Now a few months on, I have been mad enough to enter [...]

Daniel Bedingfield and the Fame Academy final

November 22, 2003

There seems to be a lot of noise out there about how Daniel Bedingfield was supposed to have been rude to someone in the Fame Academy Final. One writer criticised “the way Daniel Bedingfield totally blanked him”. I can’t really comment on this, as I didn’t watch the final, but I wonder whether the following [...]

Michael Jackson accused

November 20, 2003

ChristWeb said: “Let’s treat him like everyone else. I believe that if I was being charged with multiple accounts of child molestation that I would not be asked politely to return to the state at my earliest convenience to turn myself in. More than likely, there would be a group of armed police officers banging [...]

Stuck in the middle……

November 20, 2003

In the UK we like to think of ourselves as somewhere between our geographical neighbours on the continent of Europe and our cultural and historical allies in the USA. When it comes to issues of Iraq and the war on terrorism, like my fellow countrymen, I find myself somewhat torn. There is no doubt that [...]

Patriot Paradox

November 17, 2003

Patriot Paradox reminds us of a British document and states that following the war, Iraq is in his view better off. Some of this makes horrible reading. Iraq is a terrifying place to live. People are in constant fear of being denounced as opponents of the regime.

Embryo research may be banned

November 17, 2003

Embryo research may be banned accross Europe. According to a Labour MEP: “‘It is wrong for the European Parliament to be used to impose one ethical view on the whole of Europe.

Unwanted embryos

November 17, 2003

Yahoo! News reports that “400,000 human embryos remain frozen in U.S. fertility clinics.” and that embryo donation so that unwanted embryos can be used by others is now possible. If we really believe that life begins at conception, then this treatment of 400,000 human beings is surely one of the biggest unseen ethical crises of [...]
