The general election is unlikely to be much more than six months away and for the last two years the Conservative Party have been consistently riding high in the opinion polls. Despite recent indications that the Tory lead over the Labour Party might be narrowing, it appears highly likely that David Cameron, with his tattooed designer wife, will be crossing the Number 10 threshold sometime in the first...

The role of the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, in the Iraq war has always intrigued me. At first he states that the war - without a second UN resolution - would be illegal, only to dramatically change his mind at the last minute and declare the invasion legal. Now, the Chilcot Inquiry have got hold of a letter which Goldsmith sent to Blair eight months before the invasion. Tony Blair was told by...

The most extraordinary aspect of Robin Cook’s resignation speech in 2003 was what followed it. As he sat down, having quit the Cabinet and laid out with forensic precision his opposition to the Iraq war, a swelling wave of applause washed across the floor of the House of Commons. It started among Cook’s antiwar allies on the Labour and Liberal Democrat benches, and swiftly spread to the...

Great news for the Tories' election chances: the Wall Street Journal reports that the Labour Party will be receiving assistance from Barack Hussein Obama's campaign strategists. Yep, the same guys whose campaigning brilliance has seen One Term Barry's approval ratings fall to record lows and led to the GOP winning the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia this month. How conceited are these...

I know I cannot be a revolutionary because I am perfectly capable of liking those I disagree with and disliking those I agree with. The basis of such likes is not to do with opinion, it is with the way opinion is delivered. It is to do with intangibles. It is not to do with wanting them as friends or desiring to spend time with them, particularly not on any desert island with only one of them for company,...
