I am sorry Blairs-Britian blog has closed.I have moved back to the West Brom Blog title and left Blairs-Britian. I have done his for a number of reasons. Firstly Blairs-Britain was achieving very few hits compared to the old West Brom Blog, and with Tony Blairs imminent departure, a blog called Blairs Britain is time limited. Most importantly, Iain Dales blogging guide listed the old West Brom

Seems like political correctness has turned on one of its masters, after Cherie Blair was investigated for 'assaulting' a child, after she playfully cuffed a 17 year old for making rabit ears behind her head.This was spotted by New Labours very own Child Protection in Sport Unit who instantly reported it to the Strathclyde police, which resulted in SIX detective being dispatched to investigate

So this logo is supposed to flag up the parties new ecologically sensitive policies. Is it graffiti or a coin scratch on a Lotto instant?The worst thing is that this cost 40K! – Not the best use of party funds I’m sure. How long did it take Perfect Day to come up with this rubbish? And what was the need to go to the consultants when a perfectly good tree logo won the Conservative Home logo

So unsurprisingly UKIP have elected the 'old guard', former leader of the party's MEPs and sex scandal dogged Nigel Farage (and his massive ego) as their new leader.As the leader of its MEPs, he failed to bring them together as an effective team and has appeared to have delivered little other than some impressive speeches and embarrassing cock-up’s. But despite this no one can deny that Nigel is

As soon as I saw THIS news story, I immediately remember I had seen it somewhere before. In a bizarre parallel, only months ago, a similar argument was raging across the US around the same thing. Conservatives were kicking up a fuss over the number of liberal college lecturers, leading to "witchunts" with students encouraged to report on their tutors and teachers being suspended for their

The past 24 hours have (to my knowledge) been unprecedented in British politics. Never before have seven MPs resigned from the government on the same day over the same issue - the future of the Prime Minister.The most telling point of the whole mess comes when you ask the question, Tom who? Who is Tom Watisname? I know him because he's my local MP, but I bet most of Joe public have no idea who he

I was just reading Iain Dales post, raising the good question of why Tom Watson didn't do the honorable thing and resign his post after signing the letter calling for Bliar's resignation, when I saw on the lunchtime news that he just has.Read his resignation here. Why he needed the Cheif Whip to tell him his position as a government minister was untenable is a mystery, he should have gone

So my local MP is just the latest to jump on the "Go Now!" bandwagon. The Sun is reporting that Tony will be leaving on May 31st next year. Bollocks! The fact that Watson still holds his ministerial position shows Blairs diminishing authority, its draining away by the hour. My guess is that Blair will be gone sooner than that, probably much sooner. Blair wanted his place in history, he got it.

Im sure everyone else like me was shocked and saddened at the tragic news of Steve Irwin's, aka " the crocodile hunter",death this morning. Steve was a committed environmentalist as well as a great entertainer.It is so ironic that a man who cheated death so often, should be killed by an animal described as the "pussycat of the sea" - in only the third recorded death by stingray in Australia.He

Is Channel 4 overstepping the line by producing a documentary-style film in which George Bush is assassinated, and then premiering it on the eve of the 5th anniversary 9/11?C4 is also planning a drama in which Tony Blair is on trial for war crimes, so i think you can see what angle they are coming from.

Great story on the front of today's local paper. Apparently the football authorities are threatening to take legal action against "Blighty Collectables", who are producing 'Little Hooliganz' dolls for children. They encourage children as young as three to collect the entire "firm" of thugs for each club. The names of these dolls are even better. The lead hooligan for West Brom's (my team) firm,

Where is this protest? - Hizbollah flags flutter alongside Palestinian and Lebanese flags. The Lebanon? Palestine? Syria? Iran? ........No. Its central Birmingham earlier this month. Every so often there are anti-Israel, pro-Palestine marches, and that's just fine, I mean we all have the right to free and peaceful protest. But we don't have the right to glorify terror or terrorist organizations,

Asian Network ran a interview with Asghar Bukhari from MPACUK yesterday in which, after their "its racist" argument was flattened ,the real reason for their Orange complaint was revealed - they want Inigo sacked because "he is pro-Israel in his article".For MPACUK being pro-Israel is a not a legitimate viewpoint, and they have gone after others before:-In the 2005 general election they handed out

As one of those 'A-Level' results day facts in the papers, someone has worked out the total average cost of a three year degree is now £30,000. Basically translated this means rich kids will go to uni while poor kids wont. Another success for comrade Tony's peculiar brand of socialism.

To my understanding freedom of speech implies the right to express any expression in public, and the corresponding right to experience anybody's expressions in public, without being pressured, denied access, arrested, or otherwise punished by anyone, subject to somewhat fuzzy, but fairly well-understood exceptions, with those exceptions usually being libel, slander,threats and so on.....I mention

Leaders of some UK Muslim groups 'turned the tables' on Ruth Kelly during emergency meetings called to tackle Islamic extemeism in Britain. They came out demanding the introduction of Sharia law for Muslims and public holidays on Islamic holy days. Sharia law, which is practiced in large parts of the Middle East, should also be introduced in Britain, they argued. While it specifies stonings and

If you needed even more proof of the scandalous state of funding in our overstretched armed forces, you only have to look at today’s papers. The situation is so bad that the army can’t even afford to build a fence around one of its bases, and top level meetings have to be arranged at such times that the attendees are able to use train saver tickets!The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that the Land

Given the current climate in which I find myself stating this blog in, I think this comment from the blog of Ian Dale is most appropriate for my first post."If I don't like my lot in life, what do I do?
