Samantha Cameron Talks Candidly About Her Hubby. And Blows The Lid, Sort Of

Thomas Mathew writes: Samantha Cameron, wife of David Cameron, leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister in waiting, has spoken candidly about her husband in a TV interview. Here are some of the excerpts from that interview that have been left out of the broadcast. Sir Trevor MacDonald: Sam, tell us something about Dave that we don’t know already. Sam: Well, he wears a wig, but I suppose everyone knows that. Oh yes, he would sometimes come home late, smashed to pieces, after drinking with his mates, and do the most hilarious impersonations of his shadow cabinet. I mean, he would strip naked, pull a hygienic glove over his head and do a William Hague, including the silly voice and the stupid grin. Or he would put on shorts and do a George Osborne. Or he would put on a skirt and a... 

Political Weather Forecasts. A New Rage In Britain?

Dan Majestic writes: What if in the run up to the general election the weather forecasts in Britain would start to include descriptions of political clashes between the three major parties: Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats? ‘With the election coming nearer,’ a pretty young thing would tell viewers excitedly on ITV, ‘gales of political correctness are expected to hit most parts of Britain, accompanied by heavy downpours of PC in marginal seats, with all three major parties saying that racism and homophobia are very bad, equal rights are good, welfare is sacred, cutting of public services is unacceptable, marriage is the founding stone of society and blah, blah blah… ‘In the South and South East,’ ‘the young pretty thing on ITV would continue, ‘sunny periods are expected,... 

Pentagon Denies Reports That Surge In Afghanistan Was Filmed In Hollywood

R.F.Wilson writes: As Pentagon denies reports that the current surge in Afghanistan has been filmed in Hollywood, we ask: what the f..k is going on? And why the hell this so-called offensive in Helmand province is taking place at all, when there’s not a single Taliban fighter left in the area and US and British troops have to occupy themselves by killing civilians, or each other with friendly fire? I asked a straight talking analyst, David Straighttalking, to explain what was the reason for launching this heavily advertised military operation in the first place. David, who has written a book, ‘Afghanistan: What The F..k Is Going On?’, told me that in order to understand the situation we need to look at the bigger picture. ‘As you know,’ David said, ‘both President Barack... 

La Guerra, La Guerra… Will There Be Another War Over The Falklands?

Martin McCauley writes: In case you haven’t noticed, we are slowly heading for another war over the Falklands, a group of tiny islands in the South Atlantic. The last time around, in 1982 to be exact, the British forces defeat the Argentineans who seized the islands, though at considerable cost. At the time the Argentineans achieved complete surprise, the goal of every invading force. Margaret Thatcher, the then Prime Minister, was caught on the back foot. Britain was in recession and could not really afford to fight a war thousands of miles away. However, the Iron Lady had other ideas. She put together a task force and told the military: ‘Go and clear the Argies off our territory!’ They did, and her premiership was off to a flying start. But things have changed since then. Buenos... 

Musical Chairs: It’s Who Playes The Music Matters

Thomas Mathew writes: Remember the old game of musical chairs, the one in which children ran around a row of chairs, while the music was playing, and had to get seated when the music stopped? The number of chairs was always one less than the number of players. Eventually one chair and two players would be left and the one, who managed to grab a seat first, would win. The secret, of course, was not in who was the fastest or the most attentive. The person who really mattered was the one who played the piano or switched the music on and off. He or she could choose the moment when to cut off the tune and influence the game. The same principal applies to the game of ‘musical chairs’ in politics: he who plays the music decides who wins. This happened in Britain in the 1980s, when the then... 

Of Political Corruption. And Of Its Two Levels

R.F.Wilson writes: It’s official. Well, it’s sort of official. The level of political corruption in Britain has risen from ‘acceptable’ to ‘unacceptable’, with elected politicians losing their senses completely, having stopped doing anything worthwhile and allowing the government to bankrupt the country to a crisp. Not since the days of the former Soviet Union has the world seen such a small group of individuals causing such huge damage to a once great nation. It was only recently that political corruption in Britain was still ranked as ‘acceptable’. Sure, there was a waste of public funds going on even then and an illegal costly war was waged in Iraq by a small clique at the top of the ruling regime and hundreds of members of parliament were milking their... 

The Greatest Story Ever Told. Turned Into A Modern Orgy Of Consumerism

Thomas Mathew writes: Christmas has come early this year in Britain, compliments of the retail trade that has long ago turned one of the biggest Christian holidays into an orgy of consumerism. As a member of the Christian majority, that has been forced into a retreat by a vocal and tribal liberal minority, I would like to remind everyone that every year, on December 25, Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of God, who, according to the Christian tradition, came to save the world from its sins. This is an uplifting, life enduring occasion that is intended to unite people in their quest for a more spiritual life. Sadly, in today’s world this important Christian feast has lost a lot of its true meaning, with many people spending enormous amounts of money on buying expensive,... 

This Whole Panic Over Swine Flu Is Becoming Ridiculous. It’s Time To Get Real

R.F.Wilson writes: I wonder, I just wonder who was it exactly that suggested to President Barack Obama to introduce a state of emergency in the United States over the swine flu epidemic? Was it, by any chance, one of his slick advisors who has been talking to the giant pharmaceutical companies that are so keen on getting all those juicy contracts for producing billions of vaccines that are supposedly needed to save mankind from the worst disease since the plague? The madness surrounding swine flu reached fever pitch in New York where the local authorities have actually made it obligatory to have an anti-swine flu vaccine. Will the rest of America follow suit, now that the President himself has declared war on the H1N1 virus and even had his two daughters vaccinated? The thing about swine flu... 

How To Steal A Trillion From The Public Purse? A Cynical Look At Britain

Anton Goryunov writes from Moscow: Well, well, well. Let me tell you, people, who live in a supposedly democratic Britain, that here in Russia there are jokes going around how your Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has managed to bankrupt your country for the next 1000 years – all to save your banker boys from going to jail. And we, in Moscow, thought that misusing public money was something that only our leaders in Russia did. Well, not only in Russia: in China, Ukraine, North Korea and Cuba as well. Still, it was a bit of a cultural shock to find out that in Britain, in that cradle of Western democracy, it’s no big deal to steal a trillion, and get away with it. No one has said a word and no one has objected. Mr Brown has not only remained in power but is even telling everyone that... 

On Some Immigrants Criticising Britain. And On Britain And Russia Being Natural Allies

There are certain types of people who like to criticise the countries that they settle down in and who despair at the ‘decline of culture’ and the ‘overall ignorance of the local people’. These immigrants often arrive from Eastern Europe and, especially from Poland and Russia. I have heard so many Poles and Russians living in London talk passionately about the ‘rich cultures’ that they had left behind and the ’sadness’ they experienced at watching the English turn their backs on their own cultural heritage and losing the sence of history and tradition. Recently I even heard from some people that a Russian woman, who claims to be a great expert on the English language, was saying that the English could no longer understand each other because of...
