    Are those the footprints of Good King Wenceslas I see on the path?

    GORDON PLAYS THE COWARDICE CARD - JUST LIKE TONY. Cowardice takes many forms: I wrote the poem below in July 2005. Brown clearly has forgotton his parables: Mote and Beam applies.


    CRUISE LINE

    Blair’s Holy War came to London today
    a cowardly act, I heard someone say
    no warning - just suddenly all blown away
    so much fairer to use a Cruise Missile.

    You can’t kill your Granny who’s begging to die
    and no fish must suffer, not even small fry
    go slaughter Iraqis on back of a lie
    it’s quite fair if you use a Cruise Missile

    The pre-emptive strike now accepted worldwide
    guilty till innocent - nowhere to hide
    evil-doers can be bombed where their families reside
    but play fair and deploy a Cruise Missile.

    Make poverty history - cancel the debt
    but what of the poverty lingering yet
    in the hearts of those men whose ambitions are met
    as they launch that cowardly Cruise Missile?

    Nice picture, Mr Fletcher.

    Those who cannot do.........

    Take photos perhaps?

    There is a driving school in my area which comes to mind but its seems to be giving lessons in long division rather than actual driving forward.

    Old Malton, Yorkshire, though?

    Nice.

    "bs 3, Go somewhere else with your diatribe." Coming from McKnickle this 'pot calling the kettle black' is rich indeed.

    Now calm down, there's a good chap..

    I have just complained to a social web site that I am excluded from my own site. Again.

    And never know from one day to the next whether I will be allowed back in.

    It is interesting watching Big Brother at work in Great Britain and the frit legal units cowering.

    Freedom of speech. Personal and civil liberties seem things of the past. Did the Magna Carta die for us in vain? lol

    Lawyers will do anything for their clients - even OCCASIONALLY tell the truth. Wasn't that the quote?

    The supposedly best legal brains in the land and they allegedly resort to subterfuge and dirty tricks? So brave!

    I am glad my foster father isn't here to see what we have all become - for vested interest.

    Bedd, "The blog you were looking for was not found."

    But we all know links often crash, or are modded, around here... it looked intriguing. He's moving from the 'Today' programme, isn't he, and Justin Webb is starting.

    But I don't mind, as long as we've got Jim and John; or John and Jim. Wo'evvah.

    Hi Nick,

    What a super photo - this brings back floods of memories for me.

    Mum and Dad used to own a cottage in East Ayton - 12 Castlegate! -- so I used to drive through Old Malton.

    I remember the village well - very beautiful!

    Thanks for bringing back nice memories of me and my Landrover! - I was only 26 when I managed to ditch the blessed thing - around 20 years ago about a mile after driving past the church! -- still happy memories though ;-)

    Does anyone smell a rat here ? Possibly a 'We are not amused' moment following the comments about the Queen Mother ?

    To be honest, I never had him down as being any more posh than Eddie or Huw Edwards, to be honest...

    13- Jonnie, I can't make out whether ditching the LR was a relief or a disaster from your wording.
