It is evident that the BBC is heavily biased in favour of the EU and against UKIP. We could put a great deal of pressure on it to reform itself by threatening to stop paying our licence fees if it does not improve, specifically if it does not become less politically biased. There is already a campaign...

Shaun Lowthorpe, public affairs correspondent for the Eastern Daily Press, has this to say about UKIP’s prospects in Norwich North… Just back from an interview with Nigel Farage who is campaigning in the city today. Apart from being engagingly unspun, what struck me was how he was approached...

Janet Daley, writing in the Telegraph, has an interesting article regarding ‘power to the people’, which can be viewed here. Commenting on the inefficiency and impracticality of allowing politicians and bureaucrats to spend other peoples money – highlighting MP’s expenses and...

It is no revelation to those of us in the libertarian cadre of politics that we in the UK are living in an invisible prison. Assaults on freedom of speech, thought and conscience and the freedom of assembly and association. Things such as the smoking ban and working time directive are examples of how...

On YouTube I am subscribed to the “laboureuroteam” channel. Quite why I really don’t know, because the drivel that is produced is incredible. Today when I logged in to see my latest subscription updates I was presented with this hideous piece of nonsense. Apart form the first 3m 30s...

Courtesy of The Taxpayers Alliance comes this star claim by one of our elected ‘political elite’. Whilst the sum involved is not ‘astronomical’, in all fairness – the only claim he made was for ACA, so no furniture, gardening, food, laundry or repairs – one cannot...

The Meteorological Office Speaks! Once again the Met Office has come out with a forecast which may, or may not, be reliable. True to form a government department promptly jumps on the band wagon and cranks up the temperature! On a personal note, having been taken out to the Gold Coast – now known...

A great interview as ever. Why don’t the UK mainstream media give this kind of quality airtime?

  The private, international meetings of politicians would no doubt arouse the suspicions of most ordinary people (although, the way Gordon’s blagged his “inquiry” into the Iraq War, maybe Im wrong). In America such behaviour is technically illegal under the Logan Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act...

The three old Westminster parties have had their chance. They have collectively presided over a system of politics that has been exposed as being corrupt, outdated and not there to serve the people, but to serve the gentlemen’s club. The politicians now talk of reform and change, but the election...

Liberal Vision, a genuinely liberal blog (despite its Lib-Dem connections), has given what I believe to be an incredibly fair an accurate write up of Nigel Farage and UKIP. To my mind it is perhaps the first article I have read which seems to understand the party and which sees it through the prism of...

Leading Socialist MEP Jo Leinen has launched an astonishing tirade, even for one of the EU’s most hardcore supporters. He claims that if the Irish vote no to the Lisbon Treaty for a second time, then Ireland and the Irish people will be relegated to a “second class” in the EU. This...

As someone who was made to attend one of the worst state secondary schools in the country as I was within its “catchment area” and my mum couldn’t afford to send me to the private school up the road, I fully applaud what David Davis has said today in his defence of grammar schools....

Peter Obourne, writing in the Daily Mail, seems blissfully oblivious to the evolution of governance in this country over the previous 40 years. Ever since the Glorious Revolution of 1688 (when a Catholic King was toppled in favour of parliamentary democracy), Britain has enjoyed a system of parliamentary...

Open Europe reports that German Interior Minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, has reaffirmed the commitment to a European Army on the BBC Hard Talk programme. He was asked about his previous comments in favour of a common European army. He replied saying: “We had polls in different European countries...

From Hansard… Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat) To ask Her Majesty’s Government what conclusions they draw from the growing involvement of British expatriate candidates in theEuropean Parliament elections on 7 June in other European Union member states. Lord Bach (Lords in Waiting, HM Household;...
