More specifically…. England is for the English………

The ‘Little Englander’ mentality seems to be enjoying a resurgence, possibly because we won the World Cup in 1966, possibly because of the over representation of Scots in British politics.

However, our country is Britain and the St George’s cross belongs with the…

My opinion is that fox hunting as a sport or leisure pastime is wrong.

If fox numbers need to be controlled, then it should be done by professional ‘huntsmen’, i.e. trained tracker-marksmen, as is done in parts of Wales.

Pro-hunting people claim that hunting isn’t cruel but that is clearly untrue, as anyone with any common…

Their alleged crime was not committed in America, even if the ‘victim’ was an American company. What I’m not sure about is whether what they’re alleged to have done would even be a crime under British (i.e English or Scottish) law.

If you’re asked, in a professional capacity, to value an asset and you deliberately…

Most categories of driver are condemned by someone or other as the worst drivers – old people, women, young people, truck drivers, taxi drivers, white van man, motorcyclists etc. etc. all come in for some flack.

Large wind turbine = 2 Megawatts
Sizewell B nuclear power station = 0.85 Gigawatts = 850 Megawatts. 850 / 2 = 425.

So 425 large wind turbines would produce an equivalent output to Sizewell B. Like I say, dozens of turbines – 37.1 dozen to be precise!!!

However the wind does not always blow and nuclear power stations are…

In the European Union we do not have the death penalty and we must be very careful not to allow an exception for muslims to impose Sharia law on each other within Europe. That would be multiculturalist PC gone mad!!!!

Possibly because with motoring offences the fine can be tailored to the wealth of the offender – the white person might have b…
