CCTV in the UK

Apparently, there are 4.2 million cameras in the UK – that’s one camera for every fifteen people.

And now, new software tracks you everywhere you go. You are recognised and tracked and the software keeps a record of where you’ve been, when you’ve been there and who you were with.

This really is the future and I will never get how anyone in Britain puts up with all this.

Wear a hat.


Ron Paul: “I Don’t Know How That Qualifies as a Question on National TV”

Love it.

I am Not a Robot. I am a Unicorn.

The True Cost of the Royal Family

Worried that the Royal Family costs the UK so much money?

Turns out the Royal Family makes the UK £160 million per year, making our taxes £2.60 cheaper per person cheaper each year.

Not such a bad deal, after all…

Resist We Much

Reverend Al Sharpton has his own TV show. And he’s a genius at it:


“But resist we much. We must and we will much about that be committed.”

Ron Paul Does Not Exist

In the recent Iowa straw poll (that thing where Republican voters say who they want to be the Presidential candidate) Bachman came first, narrowly beating Ron Paul in second place by just 200 votes. And, Bachman paid over 6,000 people to vote for her – but still only got 4,800 votes.

So, Ron Paul did very well. But, as always, the media just blatantly pretends he doesn’t exist. Even though all he talks about is sensible stuff, they deem him to be crazy and to be avoided. In fact, as this little video from John Stewart shows, the media is referring to a “top tier” of candidates which emerged from the straw poll which, for some reason, Paul just isn’t a part of.

You absolutely should watch this video. It’s brilliant.
