It’s really hard to parody this sort of thing. Pyongyang, December 19 (KCNA) — The Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly and the Cabinet of the DPRK on Saturday announced the following notice to [...]
Interesting thoughts from Peter Hitchens (no doubt written before the death of his brother). Far too seldom the enemies of Britain actually admit their real goals. The greatly overpraised Professor Richard Dawkins (pictured) has now blurted out in a Left-wing magazine that his aim is to ‘destroy Christianity’. Well, I knew that, and you probably knew [...]
Well, we live in interesting times. No sooner have the Americans withdrawn (most of) their forces from Iraq than another leader of an axis of evil country kicks the bucket. North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69, state-run television has announced. Mr Kim, who has led the communist nation since [...]
This little dilemma demonstrates very nicely why I’m not interested in the gap between “rich” and “poor”. You have a button in front of you, placed there by a helpful genie.

…my first words after being elected would have been “Trevor, it goes without saying that I expect your resignation on my desk by the end of the day.” But it seems that Shearer has a different style.
Over at Mac Doctor’s, there’s a bit of discussion about Section 59. I focus on part of a reply I made there: This has been caused by the law which made beating children (with love or otherwise) illegal. No, it made reasonable force illegal. REASONABLE force. It seems you can’t argue on this without lying. [...]
Idiot has his analysis of the climate change deal: In other words, our governments at Durban have just decided to let the planet burn, so they can continue to live in artificial, unsustainable comfort for another decade. This isn’t just a matter of them ruining the world for their children and grandchildren; they’re also ruining it [...]
