Maybe the rumour about Prince Charles having a flunky to squeeze the toothpaste is true, or maybe it is an urban myth. However, here is evidence that female MPs are too lazy to clean up after themselves . We all know that many of them expect to have their arses wiped at public expense but this is going too far. We can all imagine the likely suspects guilty of such hygeine lapses, those feminist class...

Sessions raises money much of his money from K Street whores but... Everyday we're hearing about the GOP being ripped apart by its own internal fight-to-the-death between naive, hate-driven teabaggers, who have been weaned on entirely too much Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Lou Dobbs, and practical Republican politicians who just want to do well in their careers.

I was stuck in a traffic jam yesterday afternoon and I happened onto the local right-wing talk radio station. Out of morbid curiosity I ended up spending about half an hour listening to Michael Savage, who advertises himself as the nation's third most-popular radio talk show host. It's difficult to describe the flavor of the broadcast -- I suppose it's one of those things you have to experience yourself...

I have to say that I am appalled at the sacking of Professor David Nutt from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) by the Home Secretary Alan Johnson - and the support given to him by our un-elected Prime Minister Gordon Brown. David Cameron is no better for agreeing with their decision to ignore experts' advice if it flies in the face of media-led public opinion. Professor Nutt, head...

It will scarcely come as a surprise that MPs, now that the spotlight has moved off them to some extent, are still proving awkward over their expenses. The Times reports that some are being deliberately obstructive or on a 'go-slow' to prevent the Legg report from concluding its investigations. They were originally given a 3 week period to provide any information and many are failing to do so. This...

. The Big Dollop would like to bring to your attention the case of 27 year old Amanda Hyett, a lady who had previously plead guilty of defrauding the Dept of Work and Pensions and her local council of £35,885.27 in Income Support, Council Tax and Housing Benefit, who today as a consequence of that admission was jailed for one year at Leeds Crown Court. No doubt the name Amanda Hyett will mean...

In a television discussion between the former Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, and the presenter Andrew Marr, both used the pronunciation ˈspaʊzɪz for spouses (pl). I think (though without and hard evidence) that most people pronounce this word with a voiceless sibilant at the end of the stem, ˈspaʊsɪz .

By Marjorie Smith Alan Johnson's justification for sacking Professor Nutt over his refusal to acquiesce on the Government's decison to reclassify cannabis from Class C to B under the Misuse of Drugs Act is spurious in the extreme. The main reason that the Labour leadership seems to struggle over this issue is that there is a streak of Christian Socilalist thinking (Straw, Brown, Blair, et al) that...

It is impossible to escape knife crime at the moment. It seems like young men are dropping like flies and there is no suggestion or indication yet that these crimes will cease to continue. New mayor Boris has taken steps with the police and with the backing of home secretary Jacqui Smith to introduce measures for tackling the problem. Funding has been approved for more metal detectors and teenagers...
