Global Warming
Posted on March 1, 2010 | No Commentshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8542358.stm Wow. I’m so glad that we threw out all our incandescent lightbulbs because of global warming. If only I could see the end of my fingers in order to write a letter of gratitude to our great green saviour Milliband and his sacred Church of the... -

Posted on March 1, 2010 | No CommentsAfter his atrociously banal speech at last Sunday’s Tory spring conference in wet and windswept Brighton, there’s been an interesting thread over on Letters from a Tory: http://www.lettersfromatory.com/2010/03/01/does-cameron-want-all-eyes-on-browns-chilcot-appearance/ My comments are reposted below: Dave’s conference performance was cringe inducing.

MS Society: They DO want to end the Risk Sharing Scheme
Posted on February 22, 2010 | 1 CommentSo at 4:20 (appropriately enough, fact fans), I got off my bum and rang the MS Society to find out answers to the email I’d sent below that had been ignored. I was quickly transfered to the Information Team at that time. They thought it... -

Posted on February 21, 2010 | 1 CommentI read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8523820.stm Once my apoplexy subsided, I just became incredibly depressed. Then angry.

Another disgusting incidence of the ‘Righteous’ favouring their own
Posted on February 4, 2010 | No Commentshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8497365.stm Yup, Blair’s wife has let a man off a prison sentence for breaking another man’s jaw on the grounds that he was a ‘religious’ man and had just come from the Mosque before entering the bank where he assaulted another customer. So would she... -
Why do we tax public sector workers?
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No CommentsThis occured to me the other day: As the public sector HAS no money but what it takes from the private sector, is it not the case that applying tax to public sector workers necessarilly creates more public sector jobs to oversee the collection, expanding the... -
Fun with hypocrisy #1 in an occaisional series
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No CommentsTom Harris has, gamely, made a post about the sinister Caroline Lucas and her tenuous connection with science or reality. Sadly, he didn’t mention her desired population of the UK which is substantially lower than at present, nor how she intended to reduce the number... -
The Science and Politics of Climate Change @ The institute of ideas
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No CommentsHere’s a chap I was at school with who’s now a fairly well respected science writer who cut his teeth doing actual physics. He’s moving onto the sceptical end on the politics of AGW where politics is corrupting science and vice-versa…. Watch it here. Or...
