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... -
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... -

Tom Harris & Electoral Reform
Posted on January 18, 2010 | No CommentsThere’s an interesting (ish!) post from Tom Harris about why Electoral Reform is a rubbish idea: http://www.tomharris.org.uk/2010/01/18/take-your-pick-a-sense-of-proportion-or-electoral-reform Naturally, I demurred and posted the following comment that I reproduce for you here as the first of an irregular series of comment reposts… Sadly, Tom, you oppose... -
The resurgence of Lawrence
Posted on January 18, 2010 | No CommentsTE Lawrence, that is, Lawrence of Arabia, is enjoying something of a resurgence right now. First, there’s a rather splendid series on the BBC, The Legacy of Lawrence of Arabia. And then Daniel Pipes, neo-conish academic, finds that entirely without irony, the US military are... -

Shooting the Messenger
Posted on January 16, 2010 | No CommentsThis in from The Register: Norfolk police investigating the “Climategate” hack have called in colleagues from the National Domestic Extremism Team (NDET), it has emerged Yes. That’s right. The bigger crime is clearly the hack and not the scientific fraud that threatened to cost humanity...
