Map of the Week: Why Costa Rica is the happiest place 10:03am on 04 Jul 2009 I have to disagree with this report. It seems very much like a contemporary version of the old lie that the poor are happy, simple, contented folk without a care in the world.
Shipyard closure threat 09:32am on 01 Jul 2009 Calling them super-carriers is a bit of a stretch - they're nowhere near the capacity of the American Nimitz class. The lack of nuclear power on them is a serious design weakness - it makes them slow, more dependent on refuelling and means they can't use steam catapults for the aircraft.

The Type 45 is just a floating Maginot Line.

In all seriousness, the UK should just buy the big stuff from the Americans (or whoever) and set its self-sufficiency goals to something more realistic, like missiles, vehicles and small arms.
Turning up the heat 10:20pm on 26 Jun 2009 Like a lot of people, I'm increasingly doubtful about global warming. The shifting 'deadlines', lies about polar bears and outrageous catastrophism make it seem like a modern-day Millerism.
Item club 1:58pm on 07 Jun 2009 "A: Scotland is not Latvia or Ireland, facing double digit contraction, brutal public spending cuts, and doubts that the deficits can be funded."

You mean, it's not a small 'nimble' economy practising I Can't Believe It's Not Thatcherism?
Survival but at what price? 7:49pm on 05 Jun 2009 We no longer have a Prime Minister, just a stuttering, mumbling psychological curiosity. Get rid of him. Now.
The happy gang 11:18pm on 03 Jun 2009 'What a mess. What an utter and total guddle.'

Well, kinda. The mess is Brown and his Cabinet. Its dismal dribbling apart is a natural consequence of this.
Bird's-eye view of jail break 5:41pm on 30 May 2009 #159

That there is no nationalist newspaper says more about the nationalists than anything else. If you really were unhappy with the situation, you'd put your money where your mouth is and pull out all the stops to produce or buy one.

You make it sound so urgent, after all. Labour's smears going unchallenged!
Bird's-eye view of jail break 2:16pm on 30 May 2009 Greenockboy #154

It is unhealthy to say the least .... and potentially very, very dangerous.

How's it dangerous? More dangerous than eliminating free speech, which is what you appear to want? Remember, *all* political parties think the media is biased against them.
Letter from Texas 6:57pm on 26 May 2009 Thomas Porter asks:

"It's quite easy to put down another poster's view, but what is your opinion on the matter? Does national identity matter to you?"

Like my views on religion, it matters for me, and it is a matter for me, and me alone. Not the state.
Letter from Texas 8:08pm on 25 May 2009 So far we've had two efforts to justify this identity business. Franklyfrancophone claims it matters because it exists, which is rather like claiming eye colour matters because it exists.

Thomas Porter claims that it prevents violence in our 'violent race', ignoring the bloodbaths of the Twentieth Century, driven by racial, national or religious hatred.
