This week’s Britblog Roundup is hosted by Matt Wardman. Will we accept household electricity bills of £5000 per year? No. And a link to a gushy piece about a new economic model, which seems to mean stifling innovation to get the wonders of a ‘steady-state economy’: For example: if you […]
I am off to icy Poland for a few days. If I find time to write here, I will. Otherwise browse back through the archives – plenty to read which you may have missed. Other than that, behave yourselves. And read this – how the Gordon Brown Treasury has utterly […]
Most societies have some sort of organised physical and psychological reserves ready to help them through disasters. Haiti is an exception, a place impoverished financially and institutionally for reasons going back deep into history (notably French history). Only a massive military-style humanitarian intervention can make a difference in Haiti, and […]
We all have lots of questions, often about our own most detailed bodily processes: And they sure need answering. Luckily for us South Africa’s Mufti Ebrahim Desai is our online fatwa resource and raring to go.

Imagine how the world would look if people all round the world and at the UN who knew about frauds and other abuses of public funds were really encouraged to come forward and Reveal All. For example, by getting a generous payback from public monies saved or recouped from malfeasants. […]
Britblog Roundup 253 is hosted by Amused Cynicism. It links to Two Doctors greenly blaming leading planetary Leftists for the Copenhagen debacle: This betrayal was therefore delivered by the most left-wing American president since FDR, a notionally communist regime (although more accurately an authoritarian capitalist one), the more left of the […]
Is hosted by the raging Mr Eugenides. He kindly links to a couple of postings by the "ever-readable" me. But also have a look at a stirring defence of bullet points. And a Cheese-like look at the issues surrounding the outing of a blogger in Scotland. Plus home-schoolers are rising en […]
