Cleggtriloquism

7 Comments 23 July 2010

It’s nice to see that the art of ventriloquism isn’t dead. Even if you can see George Osborne’s lips move. No, really: you can actually see him mouthing along with Nick Clegg’s controversial ‘illegal war’ jibe at Prime Minister’s Questions this week. Here’s a link to the place in the tape where Nick Clegg accuses [...]

Welcome to Grown-Up Politics

2 Comments 12 May 2010

A new kind of politics is just what the electorate ordered.

Mrs Robinson, are you trying to buy me a restaurant?

No Comments 09 January 2010

The problem with politicians lecturing us on our personal lives - whether it's Mrs Robinson's views on homosexuality, or Mr Cameron's obsession with marriage - is that they seem not only bigots when making policy, but hypocrites when they're publicly hoist by their own petard.

Why Dannii’s critics are the ones guilty of homophobia

6 Comments 11 October 2009
