A LENNON THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

Published on 2011-05-15 12:53:51

Well Mr Lennon – did Motherwell take a dive against Celtic today by losing 4-0, just like you disgracefully seemed to claim that Hearts did against Rangers last week ?

The bullying US government and its browbeaten “supporters” have no [...]

THE USUAL ROYAL WEDDING DISTRACTION IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

Published on 2010-11-16 18:05:10

Britain has been regaled with news of an impending royal wedding. Prince William and Kate Middleton (pair pictured above) are due to tie the knot next year. And in a nauseating attempt to inject some maudlin sentimentality into the proceedings, the Prince even presented his new fiancee with his Mother’s old engagement ring. It figures I [...]
