Nigel Farage was given a rough time by a few members of a group called the Radical Independence Campaign when he came to Edinburgh the other day, to host a press conference in a pub in support of Ukips candidate in the Aberdeen Donside by-election for the Scottish Parliament (a body, incidentally, which till recently [...]BBC treats Right-wing lunatic like normal human being shock

What was the reason you gave up watching the BBCs Late Review (or Newsnight Review as it then became) or the BBC Review Show as it now is? For me it was the regular guest called Ekow Eshun. He used to spout such unutterable drivel with such fluent and uninterruptable conviction that it made me [...]Revealed: how Ed Miliband planned to hang, draw and quarter Blair and Brown

Last week Ed Miliband stood up at the Progress annual conference and delivered what was easily the worst speech of his leadership. Indeed, in the view of several commentators, one of the worst speeches ever delivered by a major British political leader. It was rambling, incoherent and devoid of even the most basic intellectual consistency. [...]It’s not ‘only banter’, it is a threat to civilisation

My Sunday Telegraph column: There was a bit of banter which went too far,said a Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council employee last week. What was the banter? Was it perhaps a slightly off-colour joke? An ungallant remark made to a female colleague? A spittle-flecked racist tirade? No: the banter was a manager sinking her [...]Equality for aristocrats

Take a seat: what I am about to say might shock you. There have been grumblings, recently, that the British nobility is not the bastion of egalitarianism that we believed it to be. I know, its startling. But this week a small group of downtrodden aristocracy wrote to The Daily Telegraph, describing the system as [...]Musharraf’s escape route

One man in Pakistan would have watched last Saturdays election results come rolling with more alarm than anyone else. Pervez Musharraf was the general who cut short Nawaz Sharifs second term in office by seizing control of the country and arresting the prime minister. How the tables of turned. Now Mr Musharraf is under house [...]Statistically speaking: how rational people can disagree

Tom has written a blog of despair at the reluctance of the public to accept the evidence of statistical surveys when determining what to believe. Ironically, his evidence for this comes from a statistical survey. Only 9 per cent of the sample declared themselves swayed by such data. To such sceptics Id offer half a [...]Gay shoes and groovy bishops: no wonder young people are losing their faith

From Saturdays Daily Telegraph The results of the 2011 Census, published last year, were pretty devastating for Christianity, indicating that it will be a minority religion in Britain by 2018. This week we were given a more detailed breakdown of the figures. I took one look at them and thought: OMG. Thats short for Oh [...]
