Update: Welcome co-conspirators. Guido is on the case. * * * * * The Labour Party are now officially making a total fool of themselves over Michal Kaminski. Young British diplomats are taught that it is poor technique (and, worse, stupid) to quote someone’s words from a magazine without checking that that […]
Welcome Iain Dale readers. * * * * * One of the points made by Labour against Kaminski is that he was in effect playing an anti-semitic card by arguing against the apology by then President Kwasniewski for the Jedwabne massacre. It’s obvious! Any Pole arguing against the form or […]
Update: since I pointed out the egregious mistake on the FCO website as below, the error has been corrected. Glad to see that someone is reading this blog with an eagle eye. But I’ve left the original blunder quote up for the sake of accuracy. * * * * * The FCO […]
The looming entry into force (or not) of the Lisbon Treaty will bring to the fore all the fascinating questions of how and where the EU exercises its new ‘foreign policy’ capability. First things first. Who gets which jobs? And even above that: who decides? Genuinely tricky and interesting from […]
Tory Bear does some digging on the Labour Party’s zany allies in the European Parliament. And strikes gold. Or does he? He is unimpressed with Mr Andrzej ("It is impossible to rape a prostitute!") Lepper: Where to start with their leader and the sleaze, the criminal activities and the general […]
Remember the hard wrangling on how the so-called new EU Embassies would be set up under the Lisbon Treaty and its External Action Service? No you don’t. So look here. Some very important issues at stake here, namely who ultimately gives the orders to these missions. Is it the EU […]
This time a curious and very unastonishing piece in the Spectator by Martin Bright, which uses as some vital evidence Craig Murray’s long-lost fleeting relationship with Kaminski in the mid-1990s. I have posted a comment suggesting that media bunnies might like to ask David Miliband three questions: did No 10 […]
As I foretold back in February with unerring accuracy, the ghastly EU Working Time Directive is now said to have caused deaths in UK hospitals: The Royal College of Surgeons said, in a hard-hitting report, that lives were being lost because patients had to be switched between up to four doctors […]
Here is an interesting analysis with lots of examples from ESI describing how the sulky tricephalic Bosnian donkey will in fact lurch forward if the juicy European carrot (in this case visa-free travel for all Bosnians) is big and juicy and close enough. All sorts of laws and inter-Entity harmonisations have […]
Labour are busy with their latest Dead Cat (as I gather it is known in the trade) strategising. The Dead Cat plan is simple. You identify a scrap of bad meat somewhere near your opponent’s house. Then start screaming at the top of your voice that your opponent has a […]
