Nick Clegg chimes in on the Guardian with a well crafted piece demonstrating his complete lack of understanding of what the real problem is. I was going to entitle this post ‘Foxes call for chicken coop redesign’. But thought better of it. Nick Clegg: Bar the gates. No summer holiday before the overhaul Warm words […]
Cameron has just delivered his speech in Milton Keynes, and the Daily Mail has an article on it. Let’s see shall we? An end to ‘top-down authoritarianism’ authoritarianism that is bottom up instead of top down is still authoritarianism. FAIL. Education: Take power out of councils’ hands and give it to parents End state monopoly […]
We’re living in an age where technology can put information that was previously held by a few into the hands of almost every one. So the argument that has applied for well over a century – that in every area of life we need people at the centre to make sense of the world for […]
Madeline Bunting writes at the Grauniad. She has penned a breathtaking piece of trash; terrifying in its ignorance, its basis in illogic and bone shaking fear. It is terrifying because she is an example of the devotees of the new secular religion of Environmentalism who are polluting our internets and taking up our time with […]
The Daily Mail published a blistering attack on HMG, written deliberately to raise questions. Shall we answer them? Why not?! This Parliament has now lost all moral and political authority and ought, by rights, to dissolve itself. Thats like asking a bank robber to turn himself and his bag of money in, or more accurately, […]
Someone named Alison has written a brilliant piece on the anti Home Education propaganda war that is under way: Open season on home education, but we aren’t all game We will no doubt all remember for a very long time that fateful day, back in January 2009, when the UK Government declared open season on […]
This is the letter posted to Mr Graham Badman of the Elective Home Education Review, on May 6th 2009, calling for the review to be scrapped and including AHEd’s dossier of information and responses: Dear Mr Badman, AHEd members call for the Review of Home Education to be cancelled immediately on various grounds, not least […]
This guy doesn’t know when to quit. Andy Burnham is trying to become Britain’s version of Al ‘I invented the internet’ Gore. This time, after lying about the ID card, trying to blackmail ISPs to send threatening letters to their users and just being a lying shetbag he now wants to bring the utterly fascist […]
[Google translation from German to English. – WK] Wirtschaftswoche 06.12.2008 On the black market for personal data after searching the business week, the bank accounts of 21 million German citizens in circulation. Then, in extreme cases, three out of four households in Germany fear that money deducted from her checking account, without ever that they […]
The entire membership list of the BNP has been released by a disgruntled BNP member. People all over the internets are laughing their heads off as they read about the teachers, lawyers and others who will now face the sack and lots of trouble for being a member of the BNP. This is an example […]
Yesterday there was a deluge of PR paid propaganda – bullshit if you will – trying to sell the ID Card with the hideous prostitute Jacqui Smith making outrageous claims. The lying lickspittle bastard repeater journalists at the BBC tweaked this first article during the day for maximum impact and under orders. We grabbed both […]
Gordon Brown says government cannot ensure data safety Gordon Brown has made a frank admission that government cannot promise the safety of personal data entrusted by the public. Hopefully this ‘frank admission’ is the precursor to the complete rollback of all the doomed IT / ID projects this insane government has embarked and wasted money […]
The Telegraph has a story that is direcly related to the previous post about the TSA and the irrational mania for lists, and the other BLOGDIAL posts about this insanity Despite ministers admitting of concerns the laws could spark a wave of claims, officers will be able to tell worried parents about the history of […]
A flagship database intended to protect every child in the country will be used by police to hunt for evidence of crime in a “shocking” extension of its original purpose, The Daily Telegraph has learned. ContactPoint will include the names, ages and addresses of all 11 million under-18s in England as well as information on […]
“Most of the harm in the world is done by good people, and not by accident, lapse, or omission. It is the result of their deliberate actions, long persevered in, which they hold to be motivated by high ideals toward virtuous ends… …when millions are slaughtered, when torture is practiced, starvation enforced, oppression made a […]
Workers accused of theft or damage could soon find themselves blacklisted on a register to be shared among employers. It will be good for profits but campaigners say innocent people could find it impossible to get another job. It suffers from the same problems that all these databases suffer from. To critics it sounds like […]
