I wonder if things will catch up with the former Prime Minister
A Guardian article I can agree with...
Link: Guardian Unlimited | Comment is free | The stench of impunity wafts over the final act in this cash-for-honours farce. Since 1997 every official inquiry into alleged government misconduct has been entrusted to loyalists, patsies and payroll wallahs. The parallel success has been to silenc...
I think the only way to get "Ukippers" back on board is to go further that a referendum (what would be the question(s)anyway?. In my view, the European Communities Act 0f 1972 needs to be repealed.
Donal Blaney: How to build on this momentous weekend
Donal Blaney, Chief Executive of the Young Britons' Foundation and the author of Blaney's Blaney, offers ten lessons to be learnt if we are to keep our momentum. Last Friday was Gordon Brown's 100th day as Prime Minister having spent 13 years licking his wounds after the Granita Pact with Tony B...
Have you seen Geoff Burch in action?
There's a short video of him at jeremyjacobs.com
In case you missed them: the 10 best presentations ever
According to Frank Roche, of iFractal LLC, they are: Steve Jobs introduces the Macintosh in 1984. Dick Hardt’s Identity 2.0 presentation at OSCON 2005. Guy Kawasaki’s Art of the Start speech at TiECon 2006. Dr. Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech in 1963. Lawrence Lessig’s Free Culture tal...
IBM has been mentioned. Rumour has it they aided the Nazi's in devising systems for tracking "undesirables".
The ThunderDragon: Boycott ID Card Contract Winners
Link: The ThunderDragon: Boycott ID Card Contract Winners. I endorse the Thunder Dragon's endorsement. Why would you want to give further business to companies which plan to assist in the Government's destruction of Britain's liberties? Sign up now and make them think twice.
It's probably just one of those things. Calm down
Burning our money: Why Nimbyism Is Always Right
Link: Burning our money: Why Nimbyism Is Always Right. The ever-reliable Wat Tyler tells it like it is, as always. While the State Propaganda Arm presents Gordon Brown as the Saviour of the Nation in the face of potential disaster, Wat raises a wry smile with the comment that; That's the first...
Andrew I take your point. In my experience, what's made me think,laugh or cry is the speaker or presenter not a piece of technology.
In the end,it's all a matter of who you're delivering your message to.
Tx for the link.
"You are the Presentation" - I respectfully disagree
I am in Wisconsin this week, visiting two clients, American Family Insurance and Kimberly-Clark. But the world doesn't stop just because I am spending a few hours driving through this beautiful state. I arrived in my hotel room this evening to find that the "blogosphere" is alive with several blo...
Michael Levy's reputation has been tainted why shouldn't he sue?
Cash for honours: No charges brought.
Link: Cash for honours: No charges brought - Telegraph. Last night The Daily Telegraph established that key figures involved in the inquiry are actively considering suing the police for wrongful arrest - and media organisations which have said they would be charged, for libel. I do hope that th...
I really don't like this English Parliament stuff. There's one country - the United Kingdom. Excellent post Tom.
Gordon Brown and "Britain"
Much has been made, not least by his own publicists, of Gordon Brown's support for the United Kingdom and of his desire to see the Union Flag flying from all our public buildings. He is a proud Scot (and why not, there is much to be proud of) but he loves the United Kingdom and all her constitue...

I'm going to have to take a back seat I'm afraid. I'm now doing a gig on July 1st.
Preparations still continue for July 1st...
Several Blogpower members are now regular visitors to our awards venue in Second Life. I am missing a lot of sleep chatting to them because of time differences, but it's fun. Welshcakes has run into technical difficulties, but we are hoping that Ian Appleby at Imagined Community will be able to...
Novel way of keeping positive thoughts in your head.
Positivr stuff here too
Imagine... a song that makes my heart sing
The wonderful Hilda Carroll has started a new bloggy tag game - Songs that make your heart sing. This is similar to the High Vibes tag started by Cardin at Optimist Lab. Hilda has asked us to identify one song that really makes our heart sing... one that raises our energy. Oh my gosh... one s...
Excellent post TP. Round here it's all private and religious schools, they don't fall into the equation. But, you're right one has to look at the majority of schools. Although no longer a Conservative supporter, I really can't believe they've actually become Blue Labour.
Edukashun, Edookayshen, Education
Link: Willetts must have known it would horrify Party | Dt Opinion | Opinion | Telegraph. All three comment pieces in the Daily Telegraph today were about the Tory Party and grammar schools. Alice Thomson says it best however, with these words The Tories seem to have ditched what they always he...
I presume you are at a conference. I can't believe you are there for recreation.
Las Vegas
I am visiting this remarkable place for the first time, attending a conference and staying in the Venetian Hotel. It is a strange combination of elegance and crassness. To get to my room from reception involves walking through a sea of slot machines, with (as far as I can tell) zombies sitting a...
What's this a Bloggers convention on the Croisette?
James, you must pop in to the Vol-au-Vent bar. It's by the old marina.
Light blogging alert
I shall be attending a real estate industry fair in Cannes this week. My social life will be more than usually hectic and blogging will be correspondingly light.
Which hotel are you staying at?

If te allegations about Lord Levy turn out to be true then that Rabbi(see my Blog)is going to look awfully silly.
Blair aides ‘plotted’ to foil police
Link: Blair aides ‘plotted’ to foil police-News-Politics-TimesOnline. I am beginning to feel sorry for these people. Who in their right minds would write down a conversation like this? 'Lord Levy, Tony Blair’s chief fundraiser, allegedly asked the prime minister’s most senior advisers to lie ...
Take a look at "Yid with Lid's" comments about Al Gore at Corporate Presenter. It's the polar bear post.
Pommygranate: Al Gore - Hypocrite
Link: Pommygranate: Al Gore - Hypocrite. Absolutely typical. Do what I say, not what I do.
Another federalist living in la la land. Anybody who thinks this "He dismisses the idea that Europe is not capitalist, describing it as "a place of freedoms, as enshrined in the EU Treaty"., IMHO, is mentally deranged and extremly dangerous.
As for China and India not becoming economic power houses? What planet is he on?
The Conventional Wisdom
Ex-Guardianista Will Hutton is currently addressing the conference I am attending in Paris and challenging the conventional wisdom that Europe is an economic, political and demographic basket case. In particular he dismisses the idea that India and China are tiger economies which will change the ...
Wow, what a testimonial. Ellee deserves it. A star indeed.
Blogpower Testimonial 10: Ellee Seymour
Link: Ellee Seymour - Why me?. There is a sense in which Ellee Seymour is cheating. She is no"citizen journalist" blogger, but a professional PR person and former "dead tree" hack. She spins, no doubt guilefully, for her political PR clients, making politicians look better than they are (why el...
No wonder we've ended up with a rubbish like Jade Goodie.
(Compare matriculation exams of the 1920's to today's GSCE's)
'Grammar schools should never have been closed' minister admits | the Daily Mail
Link: 'Grammar schools should never have been closed' minister admits | the Daily Mail. I have waited for this admission of the obvious for 30 years, since my own education was trashed by the mad ideologues of the British Left. Can I now sue? How infuriating that it comes (albeit without an apolo...
You are not alone!
Am I alone?
...in thinking that, once "hate speech" of any kind becomes a crime, we are doomed to tyranny by analogy? The advice given by a judge in a recent case exposes the idiocy of our present situation; Next time, call him a fat bastard Unless a Pakistani is inferior to an Australian or a Scotsman, why ...
"You won't be popular with Party bosses".
and just how long do you suppose the "Ted Heath Traitor Party" is going to last for. UKIP is the new Conservative Party.
Protectionist elected to leadership of EPP
We keep being told that the tide of opinion in Europe is coming our way. It doesn't look that way in terms of the new EPP leadership. The MEPs within the European Peoples' Party - of which the Tories are (controversially) still members - has elected a French farmer, Joseph Daul, to succeed th...
Point taken about Memes. I'll lay off for the time being. Good quality comment is the best way to get noticed but thanks for your post.
No doubt I'll have lots to say upon my return from Africa.
CORPORATE PRESENTER: Set your goals
Link: CORPORATE PRESENTER: Set your goals. Being tagged with these memes is tiring (I still haven't got around to the one from yesterday), but netiquette seems to require a response. So here goes. Yes. Yes. Not applicable. Possibly/No. A little hung-over, but otherwise great; thanks for asking. E...
B in F maybe a sh**hole but my hometown is probably the failure capital of the UK.
Margate was once a half-decent seaside resort. Now it just has flats going up everywhere and hotels coming down.
"Barrow-in-Furness is a shithole"
For any of my fellow Cumbrians reading I'd like to reassure you that no I haven't gone mad and that this isn't my opinion but of Steve Beall, who was the manager of Thorntons in Barrow - until he made the comment on his MySpace blog. Another great example of how even personal employee blogs can ...
