There is a very revealing article in the Guardian (natch) called 'East Germans lost much in 1989'. The 'money quote' (in GDR Marks of course) is: On 9 November 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down I realised German unification would soon follow, which it did a year later. This meant the end of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the country in which I was born, grew up, gave birth to my two children,...

Did you read Jeremey Clarkson's column in the Sunday Times? No? Nor did the Bear until they pulled it after some lefties sniffled. Yes it's moderately insulting to a broad range of countries but what were you expecting when you read an article by Clarkson? Come on. If you don't want to be offended, don't read offensive peoples work. It's not rocket science. Anyway to prove a point TB decided to reproduce...

TONY Benn doesn’t hate the Tories anymore. That’s according to yesterday’s Sunday Times, anyway, which reports that these days ‘the veteran radical campaigner’ finds his views on issues such as civil liberties and Europe closer to those of the Conservatives than those of New Labour. OK, the poor old sod is 84 and recovering from an operation on his prostate gland, which...

The TaxPayers' Alliance has had a lot of success in getting media coverage, even though it clearly has no right to speak for taxpayers - in other words the entire population of Britain. Especially when its own director has admitted that he does not pay British taxes because he lives in France. Perhaps that gives us a clue as to why the Taxpayers' Alliance has so misunderstood the British people today....
Should Mandy have avoided the attack on the Sun? Paul Waugh makes a valid point on his Evening Standard blog that the way Number 10 is dealing with the letter of condolence issue could be causing more damage. He writes: “We now have not just Peter Mandelson, but also housing minister Ian Austin claiming that this is [...]
TB had the pleasure of doing another slot on GuyNewsTV . He was a little hungover and really really needs to get some sun, but anyway in a matter of weeks he will be lying on the beach drinking rum. Ahhh. Laugh away: Didn't mean to seem quite so sarcastic. Had a very enjoyable day in fact!

The Jerusalem Post is one of several with the story: Apple Inc. on Friday approved for sale a Spanish-language eBook version of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, complete with a swastika application icon. A day later, presumably due to the blogosphere uproar, the $1.99 offering disappeared from the Apple’s Application Store… 9to5Mac, a Apple Intelligence site, questioned Apple Inc.’s...
