Was Monbiot right, though, to say that Top Gear is ‘a mouthpiece for an extreme form of libertarianism and individualism’ – basically accusing it of being a right-wing show? ‘I don’t think libertarianism is right-wing, is it? My personal views....are that I like the idea of a society that tries to reduce rules, reduces interference and encourages individual open-mindedness and freedom of thought
From contributor Ed the Axeman on Guido's Caption Competition today: I live in a mainly Muslim community and I’m really fed up with the politically correct bollocks around here. My local pub had to change its name from The Flying Pig, nobody speaks English in any shop you go in and you can barely cook a bacon sarnie without upsetting some Pakistani or another! So I was so happy to see my local
Sometimes in all the noise and haste of global political upheavals, we forget there is one man fighting for our liberty, who is no stranger when publically expressing what we collectively feel deep within ourselves. And there is another:
I like Fraser Nelson. I really do. He's articulate, well-educated, had the courage to challenge the pathological buffoon, who ironically had written a book about the very thing that he was totally devoid of, and whose raison d'être is generally far removed from the banality and predictability of the MSM lobby copy drones out there.Imagine my horror when he writes an article like this.

Pat Condell at his best:
Interesting link, assuming it's not a hoax, will it finally put all those windmill monstrosities to bed once and for all? Eng. Andrea A. Rossi and Professor Sergio Focardi of the University of Bologna (one of the oldest universities in the world [1]), have announced to the world that they have a cold fusion device capable of producing more than 10 kilowatts of heat power, while only consuming a
As a non-smoker, I'm enjoying the fun I'm having with my e-cig thanks to LegIron's recommendations: I've even persuaded 2 smokers to have a go and they’ve bought some as both want to stop smoking cigs! But I expect to see official "independent" studies to be coming out shortly pointing to trace carcinogens in the unregulated Chinese cartridges which will kill all “vapers” and those unfortunate
Thanks to Guido once again for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. Slight improvement this time with RedEd taking advantage of Clarke's rape gaffe earlier and a rare appearance by the Beast of Bolsover. #safariwatch obangobang: Is that a giraffe next to Milibad? Steve Miliband: Is that a Giraffe or Harman 13eastie: Nice to see Harman's giraffe
Thanks to Guido once again for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. Quite a boring one today, Cam on good form, RedEd useless and whining and surrounded by the new cast for Lord of the Rings. #tuscantonyslingualschool Dorian Smith: bon après-midi, lèche des fenêtres #tiewatch Tuscan Tony: Cleggy's tie's a little nasty., stormforce999: that is a
It's April Fool’s day today where it's traditional for the Mainstream Media to throw in a fake story or two for hearty chuckles and to hide the decline, to borrow an oft used expression from those that dance around the taxpayer gorging Global Warming parasites, of their plummeting sales volumes. However, a cursory glance at even the most highbrowed of organs have left me perplexed as I ponder
Thanks to Guido once again for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. Quite a good lively one today with "The Most Annoying Man In Modern Politics" (MAMIMP) getting his Ball's felt by Cameron, who was, as Beeboid progressive liberal and Tory Bear stalking victim, Laura Kuenssberg noted "...on rude form". #tuscantonyslingualschool Tuscan Tony: Msht Shpkr
From Counting Cats, another "I Want One Of Those" moments.
Thanks to Guido for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. It was a big one - over two hours of windowlicking goodness to trawl through hence the release today. Ozzie had a frog in his throat for most of the budget speech and Red Ed's reply was simply pre-scripted drivel and there was a noticeable marked aggressive tone to the accompanied LiveChat comments
I came across an interesting article from the Arabic Network for Human Rights stating: In 1998, the number of Internet users in Libya did not exceed 100 people. By early 2001, after Internet service was extended to the public, the number reached 300,000. By mid-2003, the number was estimated to be 850,000. It is rapidly reaching one million users, an immense number considering that the
Thanks to Guidofor hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. (sorry for delay - work issues) #tiewatch Dorian Smith: Could Clegg's tie be any more yellow? Billy Bowden: Crap tie Ed!!! @JULIANBRAY: Hague looking pensive .... why? all tories wearing blue ties has there been a fatwa? @JULIANBRAY: cleggy has puilled out the yellow tie #hainpantone
Take the raw data from the program file for Microsoft paint.exe, import as a PCM audio file, awesome...! Listen here h/t bengoldacre
Thanks to Guido for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. Peter Bone got the funniest line in with a great reply from Cam saying: "I wish my wife was as easily pleased!" #carloslunch Carlos: What's should I have for pudding? Carlos: Should I use Fairy or Tesco washing up liquid? John M Ward: Bottle Fairy, Carlos. Oh no, that's a Japanese anime..
Thanks to Guido for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. First one after half term where Red Ed splits his questions. Cameron gets a few laughs with his "brother loyalty" jibe but rather loses it when he tries it the second time. #carloslunch Carlos: I will making love to my girlfriend after PMQs. What positions should we try? Tuscan Tony: Try being
Thanks to Guido for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. Another subdued session today with Red Ed not really landing any punches, although Michael White was spinning like Lord HawHaw on amphetamine on Twitter today. #tiewatch Billy Bowden: Pink tie by Clegg iainmartinwsj: @JohnRentoul @martinbeckford Hague wins, as usual, on the neckwear front
Thanks to Guido for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers gather for Wednesday's PMQs. An average session today with Red Ed going for the "Big Society" angle of attack which got Cameron a little hot under the collar as did some of his back bencher questions. However, where credit is due, Red Ed made a reference to McRuin with: "He should not be so angry, it will cloud his judgement.
An outstanding post from Mark on the WUWT blog after the stitch up on James Delingpole. A bit of cut n paste for you media whores! I have some expertise in PR and media relations and here is a primer on handling documentary producers. Before the interview: * Do not sign the release form/waiver until after the interview. Do not sign a release form that is a blanket release. Add in a line that
Thanks to Guido for hosting today's LiveChat where the windowlickers (or as Tuscan Tony likes to call us: fenestral slaverers or for the Latin scholars, lingua fenestras) gather for Wednesday's PMQs. Rather dull with RedEd and Cam trying to outdo each other in the "who can be the better statesman" department rather than the more entertaining bun fight we look forward too. Lots of Dodgy Ties of
