The leader of the UK Libertarian party has posted a rather good polemic over at The Devils Kitchen however don’t read it there, go and read the copy up at Captain Ranty as his introduction is rather fantastic.

In summary though as has been observed in many places and times before, soon we get to vote and we can either vote for more of the same be they wearing blue, red or yellow rosettes or we can vote for something different. Given how bad things are and how much worse they’re likely to get now is not the time to vote for more of the same.

Update A rather good article by Peter Hitchens on why the Tory’s will be more of the same

Via Iain Dale, the public consultation on MPs expenses is now open here:

Such an important matter obviously needs to be very widely publicised. According to the web site:

We are consulting on the new system for managing MPs’ expenses

* The next parliament will start with a completely new system, independently designed and administered

Scary post of the day

Comments Off on Scary post of the day

Back at work today and to start the year off badly, this rather worrying post by Anna Raccoon about the birth of the ‘Euro-Mediterranean Regional and Local Assembly’. Which it seems seeks to extend the EU across the Mediterranean in to Africa – the stated goals of political partnership and economic union seem oddly familiar.

Anyway go read the article particularly the list of countries with whom we’ll soon be experiencing closer union with of course free movement of people.
