09-Dec-2009

What a year it’s been for the poor British public, struggling to cope with the impact of recession, suffering pay freezes or pay cuts whilst learning how MPs have been immorally milking expenses out of our hard-earned taxes. Read Full Story

Since when it is a human right to grunt at 47 decibels during sex?
10-Nov-2009

Criminals have been criticised for seeking protection under the Human Rights Act, but the couple who tried to use it to justify disturbing their neighbours by noisily grunting at up to 47 decibels during lovemaking sessions takes the biscuit. Read Full Story

MPs should pay and up and shut up!
13-Oct-2009

24-Aug-2009

Phillips should go – but the EHRC should be scrapped
29-Jul-2009

I am not an admirer of Trevor Phillips – he is arrogant and self-serving and I never encountered anyone from the black communities who had anything positive to say about him.
