Our local conservative MP Philip Hollobone has put forward legislation before parliament to ban balaclavas. After two of the coldest and longest winters on record, I ask what on earth he's thinking. The clothes one wears should not be subject to state control. We've had thirteen years of New Labour telling us what we can and can't do, what we can and can't say, we don't want Tories doing s

The suggestion from Conservative and Lib Dem MPs that those accused of rape should retain their anonymity is completely overdue and will remove the endemic problem of tabloid accusations causing guilt by trial by media. We must grant those who are accused rape the presumption of innocence we proclaim to grant them and keep them anonymous until they are proven guilty.

The most worrying thing about our combined coalition is our education policy. Our parties' opposition to tuition fees and to the privatisation of the school system is highly important and must be pushed as our highest priority.

Pope Ratzinger, an 83 year old man with an imaginary friend who speaks to him on occasions, has continuted to blather on about homosexuality being the worst thing in the world and an insult to God and blah blah blah. Meanwhile, our Equalities minister is certainly not in favour of gay rights, as her voting record shows.

A simple way to demotivate oneself.

In what has been described by experts as "elfern safetee gonmad", a man faces a fine, imprisonment and decapitation after moving a fish. In fairness, it's not just the Mail and the Telegraph, it's a couple other "news" organisations doing this. Just another reminder of the terrible state of gutterpress (a term fully applicable to the Telegraph) reporting in the UK.

So, three days after the General election, what happened? How can David Cameron keep a straight face when he says he has "won" the election, when 76% of people eligable to vote for him did not do so? What happens now, and where does that leave the case for electoral reform?

Remember the good old days when journalists actually researched a story before writing it? In this modern day and age, you would have thought even the tabloids would bother doing a quick google search or something before they repeat some of the crap they spew out. But you'd be wrong. A recent tree story proves otherwise.

It comes as a great shock to me that the World's "Greatest" "News" Paper requires its journalists to submit to having their skulls drilled into, but it can be the only explanation for the standard of Journalism repeatedly seen. The Express should be ashamed that it runs frontpage stories based simply on lies and conjecture, ignoring scientific consensus on Climate Change.

Today the Church of England have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a motion saying that religion and science are compatible. Exactly what they refer to by religion is entirely unclear. Presumably the Christian religion, and presumable the Church of England. Whether they think that science should respect the view that Ra pulls the sun through the sky in a chariot is unclarified.
