Why the European Parliament election doesn't actually mean all that much.

Are publicly funded bodies actually allowed to do this in an election?

Perhaps we should just have fewer politicians if this is the sort of language they inflict upon us?

This is simply absurd, even though it is in fact true.

Complex and confusing but debunking the latest rubbish report on how many hundreds of thousands are already being killed by climate change.

If your basic contention in a report is that medical costs drive ever more people into bankruptcy then you really should mention that your own research shows that fewer people are going bankrupt because of medical expenses in your report. No?

And finally, Gordon Brown becomes a video star in Germany.

How confused are farmers getting over the dairy market?

And how bad a deal are we getting from the PFI schemes?

There's also a problem with having a committee deciding what medical treatments the NHS will pay for: clearly, those who provide certain medical services will compete to get on that committee.

Gordon Brown does seem to have a little of the control freak in him, no?

I know John Redwood Mr. Purnell and you are no John Redwood.

Booze in inflation adjusted money terms is about what is was in 1909 and yet a great deal cheaper compared to average earnings. Except for Bordeaux, strangely.

And finally, the most useful political website of our time. isgordonbrownstillprimeminister.com.

Strange really, incumbent politicians seem to be the only people who don't want to see market structures brought into politics.

If the economy is recovering now and we haven't spent the stimulus, then it can't be the stimulus which is recovering the economy, correct?

A more considered and lengthy consideration of the same problem.

Price discrimination is a quite wondrous thing.

Forget the policy for a moment, wouldn't you like a politician with this sort of comeback?

The truth about technical analysis.

And finally, Netsmith never needed this. Who hands in essays anyway?

Netsmith's not all that sure that those coming out of the rubble of communism quite understand contracts yet. You have to take the rough with the smooth.

The difference between cap and trade and carbon taxes explained with an added bonus. Why politicians will choose the worse option.

Placing the blame for the financial crisis right where it arguable should be: with government.

GM hasn't been brought down by that crisis: people have been predicting it for at least 20 years.

How the campaigns starting against the e-cigarette show that the smoking ban wasn't about second hand smoke at all.

Rather, it all seems to be about allowing the prodnoses and killjoys to control the populace.

And finally, a new way to get rich.

Yes, politics has indeed reached this level.

This of course is simply ridiculous. Satire isn't it?

If only we could in fact insist that presenters (and journalists!) were trained in the meaning of these phrases!

If we are indeed trying to find out what does work and what doesn't in alleviating poverty, shouldn't we try this?

Poverty is definitely more complex that some think.

And why don't we try this as a method of paying MPs? Make them rely upon charity!

And finally, the vexing issue of pets in small flats.
