Just visiting for a little while.
I’m still trying to sort some stuff out but hope to be posting more frequently soon.
And as the Real IRA attempt to restart the troubles, it has an ally in The Daily Mail and those who comment on its site. Anything to boost readership.

Yes, I know there are different ‘Pravdas’ but the context in which the articles are used clearly show that there are few limits to The Conservatives’ use of the mantra :
‘My enemy’s enemy is my friend.’

Update 2: The Tories have now (really) produced a videotape of the police search of Damian Green’s Parliamentary office. As far as I can see it does nothing but keep the kettle lukewarm.

What with the ‘Zanu Labour’ and ‘Stalinesque’ attacks and now this non-exposé, the Tories are unintentionally making themselves look desperate and panicked when, I suppose, they intend their campaign to have this effect on the government.

Now it’s starting to look if they really have something they want to bury and are keen for any investigation to be curtailed.

Update:
Here’s a cropped version of yesterday’s image for Channel 4 News.

You can see the full version here. When you get there, click on the image for super size.
(btw – despite what it says on C4 News, it’s an image not an animation)

Morten Morland has created an image along similar lines but much classier here.

Hopefully a new image on the same topic a bit later on C4 News.

Yesterday, Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley gave a speech on a new public health strategy entitled ‘No excuses, no nannying’.
Dreadfully thought out.
The title of the speech I mean.
Caroline Spelman must feel as if she’s under attack every day.

Some of you may not see the video displayed in the feed. I don’t know why but if you can’t I’m afraid you’ll have visit the blog to see it – sorry.
A few of the images I’ve done over the years. Maybe I need a to do another and concentrate on the lighter, more comic gags.
You will love or hate the music by the late Klaus Nomi – there’s no inbetween.
Now, watching The Singing Ringing Tree with a Klaus Nomi soundtrack added would definitely be an exquisitely disturbing experience.
btw – YouTube automatically selects the video thumbnail you see displayed before you hit the play button.

Gordon Brown deep in thought on the ’selfless act’ of Perez Musharraf.
He may need more paper.

btw – (not HD related), If your Freeview has stopped working recently (it may still do when you next scan for new, updated channels), it’s because Freeview is updating its transmission standards and you have an old set-top box. There’s nothing else for it – you have to buy a new one because the manufacturers either can not or will not update the firmware.
