'What plan?' asks the Telegraph's Charles Moore : " If the Tories formed the Government tomorrow, in about 80 per cent of their task they would not really know what to do. " So it's just as well that Gordon Brown has got a plan according to the Guardian's Michael White : " The financial crisis has snapped him out of his gloom, given him renewed purpose and a glimpse of a pathway out of defeat. The...

Last year, former Klansman James Ford Seale was convicted in federal court of kidnapping Henry Dee and Charles Moore in 1964. The victims were not only kidnapped, they were killed, but murder as such is not a federal offense. One...

I don’t post about programming as much as I’d like to. This may change a bit in the future. I have a couple of new programming tools I may want to chat about. However, I have come across a new interview with Charles Moore that I want to link to. It’s from ComputerWorld back in June, but I think it’s the most recent thing on the net from Moore. A lot of it is old news, but there’s some new stuff. Here’s...

Indulge me, please …. just a couple of points on the Olympics. It rained a lot at the Bejing Olympics. So, we shouldn’t worry ourselves about it raining at the 2012 London Olympics. A wonderful quote from Charles Moore’s article in the Daily Telegraph, HERE, at the beginning of the Beijing Olympics: The late, great Sir Denis Thatcher, bored at a formal [...]

ConHome's Tim Montgomerie has worried about this before but it's been obvious for some time that Policy Exchange and the Conservative Party had grown too close. Both are at fault but PX itself needs to take the lion's share of...

Section: Mac + Computers , Desktops , Laptops If you’re a Mac user, you’ve heard the comment; “I’d like to own a Mac, but they’re too expensive.” Just this weekend, I got into a computer conversation with a Toys ‘r’ Us employee (do I look so geeky that electronics department reps feel they can approach me with computer questions') regarding system requirements for a PC game. The conversation led to...

Independence is the big question behind current Scottish politics. If unionists avoid asking it, they look like what the Scots call “fearties”, frightened of the answer. Polls suggest they should not be. If they are bold enough to refuse Mr Salmond’s timetable, the answer is much more likely to be the one they want..

And the provisions of sharia “do not include the [...]

By Charles Moore "Trapped under a beam with the countdown ticking away, the monster just on the other side of the battered door, and my friends are trying to free me, I look up at them and yell, "Go on without me. I'll be alright. I'll hold him off while you escape!" And my friends, because they know my sacrifice won't be in vain, make their getaway and when the monster breaks through just as the explosives...

I can think of no quote that better sums up the dumbing down of Britain's educational system than the following from Charles Moore : No one would say that, because it is useful to be able to drive, the driving test should be made easier. No one says that it is "elitist" to insist that candidates know how to make an emergency stop. No one, so far as I know, compiles figures to show that a disproportionately...
