A bit off topic, but I have to share this with as many people as possible.

Prime Minister Tony Blair said higher oil prices had driven inflation

Which is fine until you look at what oil prices actually did in 2006. If you look at the attached graph, you will see that they were high in the middle of the year and low at either end. How that drives inflation is beyond me.

I blogged about it here: http://rightlinks.co.uk/linked/modules/wordpress/index.php?p=130

Many of us have never had the chance to show our democratic disapproval of membership of the EU (or its previous guises). Now perhaps, the BBC is offering us a chance. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/vote/2006vote/)
We want you to suggest a law which you think should be scrapped.

Which is Britain's least useful or most damaging law? If possible, be specific. Our panel of politicians (across the spectrum) and legislation experts will sift your nominations to come up with a shortlist of six.

That shortlist will go to a vote and, on New Year's Day, we'll announce the winning - or, more accurately, losing - law. At the very least, we hope, we'll fuel debate. But we'll also see whether any politician is brave enough to take the views of Today listeners to the House of Commons.
To take advantage of this, here is what you should do. Go to the page in question and write "European Communities Act 1972" in the space provided. Who knows whether they will choose it, but it could be fun if they do.

No No I am only joking.

However when it comes to liberty of the non economic type, the Lib Dems do tend to be on the right side of the argument.

PAUL HEATON from the beautiful south gave Gordon a hard time on Mars am chat show. Gordon was trying to wax lyrical about how smoothly the change-over will be, when it happens. Heaton cuts straight to the point and calls Blair a war criminal.
Brown rived uncomfortably and then tries to chat about football to show they have some common ground; as if! Gordon does not have it to renew, labour.
Labour this is your wake-up call. Give Gordon the job. He’s fat and over weight, with good living over the last 10 years. This will be labour’s biggest mistake ever. Never get rid of a sitting PM.

From our point of view as Bloggers, it runs the risk of having too many mainstream candidates and not enough of the likes of us. This would be a shame as its a great opportunity to bring attention to Blogs

The first category is open for Best Writing:

http://conservativehome.blogs.com/torydiary/2006/04/nominations_for.html

Each of us should ask our readers to nominate us and should go and nominate each other. Lets try and make sure that at least one blog is in the final short list.

Posted on Outside Story:

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

CLASSIC VERSION:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying supplies for the winter.  The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances the summer away.  Come winter the ant is warm and well fed.  The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

THE BRITISH VERSION:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying supplies for the winter.  The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances the summer away.  Come winter the ant is warm and well fed.

The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant is warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving.

The BBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable home in Hampstead with a table laden with food.

The British are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer while others have such plenty.

The Liberal Party, the Respect Party, the Transvestites with Starving Babies Party and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house.  The BBC, interrupting a Rastafarian cultural festival from Grimsby with breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome".

Ken Livingston laments in an interview with Panorama that the ant has got rich off the backs of grasshoppers and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share".

In response, the Labour Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant's taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers.

Without enough money to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, the home is confiscated by Camden Council.  The ant moves to France and sets up a successful agribiz company, funded by Britain via the EU.

The BBC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant's food, though spring is still months away, while the government house he lives in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain it.

Inadequate government funding is blamed. Diane Abbot is appointed to head commission of enquiry that will cost £10m.  The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Guardian blames it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes - despair arising from social inequity.

The abandoned house is now taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by the government for enriching Britain's multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana growing operation and terrorise the local community.

Sounds about right.

This isn’t about the Labour Left being fascist…

 

This is about the fact that all of the mainstream parties are busy chasing after the middle class swing vote in marginal constituencies using policies that have no relevance for working class people, whilst trying to inflict Upper Middle Class Political Correctness on the rest of the country.

 

This could have been a void the Conservatives could have filled.  But with Dave at the helm, not bloody likely…It’s a lot easier to chase after those middle class marginals than it is to get non-voting working class people to the polls (before they’re angry enough to express their displeasure with the mainstream parties.)

 

Frankly, I don’t know what the big story is; this is old news.  The only people who should be shocked are the Beeb, the chattering classes, and the mainstream party leaderships…

LABOUR LEFT HAVE FACIST TENDENCIES

labour voters are deserting us for BNP, says Blair ally

Labour working-class families feel so neglected by the Government and angered by immigration that they are deserting Labour and flocking to the British National Party, a minister admitted yesterday.
In a sensational claim, Margaret Hodge, one of Tony Blair's closest allies, said that eight out of 10 white people in her east London constituency of Barking are threatening to vote for the far-Right party in next month's local elections. Once traditional Labour supporters are angry at a lack of affordable housing - and blame immigration, and Labour, for the changes.
Margaret Hodge: white families are angry. "They can't get a home for their children, they see black and ethnic minority communities moving in and they are angry," said Mrs Hodge, the employment minister. "When I knock on doors I say to people, 'are you tempted to vote BNP?' and many, many, many - eight out of 10 of the white families - say 'yes'. That's something we have never seen before, in all my years. Even when people voted BNP, they used to be ashamed to vote BNP. Now they are not." Mrs Hodge said the pace of ethnic change in her area had frightened people. "What has happened in Barking and Dagenham is the most rapid transformation of a community we have ever witnessed.
"Nowhere else has changed so fast. When I arrived in 1994, it was a predominantly white, working class area. Now, go through the middle of Barking and you could be in Camden or Brixton. That is the key thing that has created the environment the BNP has sought to exploit." Mrs Hodge claimed the anger is not down to racism. "It is a fear of change. It is gobsmacking change."
She also complained about a "lack of leadership" from her party on race, and said the "political class", including Labour, was frightened of the issue. "The Labour Party hasn't talked to these people. This is a traditional Labour area but they are not used to engaging with us because all we do is put leaflets through doors. Part of the reason they switch, is they feel Labour is not listening to them."

Apparently the French already have a version of the L&RR.  Part of the reason for the protests in France right now is because Dominique de Villepaine used the powers to introduce his workplace reforms without a parliamentary debate, knowing they would be be very unpopular.

He may be right regarding the reforms and there would have been protests anyway, but it goes to show how such powers would really be used - to avoid debate on unpopular laws.

I guess that the site is based on Drupal (or Mr Dean's derivative). I have a site www.rightlinks.co.uk which is based on Xoops another Open Source CMS.

The great thing about such software is it allows you to experiment and develop new functions for the site over time. They are all specifically design for "community" allowing you to bring people together.

I like the minimalist design, though you mustn't forget that in the absence of bells and whistles, the content must really be able to stand up for itself.

Success depends, I think on the number of people you can get involved and their level of involvement. You will not have a problem there I guess.

Different levels of access is a good idea, so public and private blogs have their place. There are many things you might want to say to a select few people that should not be made public.

I hope you launch the site successfully, and I look forward to finding ways of collaborating.

Regards

Serf

Hello friends,

I'm a Tory member from Coventry and I have been really keen on online
campaigning for some time. I read with interest the recent story that
the Tories are going to be learning from the US techniques.

I too have been watching US techniques for some time now. I've been
working on a small website, for Heartlands Conservative Future area,
which I am trying to make into a very modern, cutting edge website. It
uses the same base software that Howard Dean used and that has been
raved about all over the web.

It's at http://www.heartlandscf.co.uk/cms/ and I would really appreciate
some feedback on it from you guys.

Finding people on the ground around here that know a thing or two
about the internet is really difficult so the opinions I tend to get
are very much based around people comign to us as a party as well as
not being too open.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Is the podcast a good or bad idea? What about the private and public
blogs?

Thanks,

Hello friends,

I'm a Tory member from Coventry and I have been really keen on online
campaigning for some time. I read with interest the recent story that
the Tories are going to be learning from the US techniques.

I too have been watching US techniques for some time now. I've been
working on a small website, for Heartlands Conservative Future area,
which I am trying to make into a very modern, cutting edge website. It
uses the same base software that Howard Dean used and that has been
raved about all over the web.

It's at http://www.heartlandscf.co.uk/cms/ and I would really appreciate
some feedback on it from you guys.

Finding people on the ground around here that know a thing or two
about the internet is really difficult so the opinions I tend to get
are very much based around people comign to us as a party as well as
not being too open.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Is the podcast a good or bad idea? What about the private and public
blogs?

Thanks,

Mike Rouse

Just a thought.

According to Ron Paul, US Representatives sometimes have only hours to read a bill before it is brought to them.  How much time would MPs have to read new legislation under Blair's Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill?

Does anyone know?
