Nothing changes

Twatty government minister are prone to saying that we are facing new types of [something dangerous/annoying] in society that needs legislating against to protect the public, or actually to appease Daily Mail readers. Hoodies are a classic example but Professor Robert Bartlett has done research and found that gangs of lawless binge drinking hooded yoofs […]

Government to repeal ban on protests around Parliament

[This isn’t an April Fools joke! Thank fuck]
It looks as though the NoLongerNeoLabourHonest government of Gordon Brown is going to allow protests around Parliament (PDF of proposal). These were banned by the Dear Leader after Iraq war protests. The protests outside Parliament demoralised the NeoLabour sheep within and it made it harder for the Whips […]

More daft eco crap

Geeklawyer really does get eco stuff. Honest. He does. He loves each and every plankton he has ever encountered and every endangered species he has ever heard of. He even recycles his beer bottles - well, mostly. He wept openly when he heard Beluga caviar was becoming more expensive because of Sturgeon fish pollution depletion.
But […]

Ten Lords abloggin’

The House of Lords is blogging; at least, in an experimental way. Only politics geeks will be interested in this one. Geeklawyer was a little disappointed by the Bar Council’s blog which is more of a newsletter with a feedback column and so he hope that the Lords will make a better fist of it.

Is this how government works?

Geeklawyer was at a recent government event on a trendy “hot right now” topic. All the government departments had picked up on the buzz, as had the press. It was soooooo very cool that all the major US European and UK consultancy groups had twigged that here was a new way for them to relieve […]

Freedom of Assembly

If you are a little sick of the state of the right to protest in this country - given that you can be forbidden to protest near Parliament unless the police are, effectively, happy and give you permission to do so on terms they can set, then do something about it on March first: attend […]

Terrorist not really a terrorist says loony psycho, terrorist friendly, terrorist judge

Geeklawyer, along with his mates at the keepblairforpm website, have long decried the ‘enemy within’: the lawyers liberal meeja, and judiciary who have a secret agenda to undermine our beloved land of St George.
These scum would compel us to wake at 6.30 every morning and turn to face Mecca and worship Satan, or ‘the Prophet […]

Stupid government websites

Geeklawyer recently attended the illuminating Web2.0 Transformational government conference at Parliament. It was attended by a small number of very switched on Government types who ‘got’ the Web and the possibilities of collaboration and open standards.
Great, but regrettably it was chaired by the total cock Alun Micheal who displayed the modesty and self-deprecation, in the […]

Nanny state at it again

Gordon Brown is not, so far, the disaster that Tony Bliar was but it is surely just a matter of time. He is at least genuinely of the left and more focussed on policy than media headlines. Of course that isn’t always a good thing. The left are inclined to paternalism and to lack any […]

Unquenchable fires and Blair

It seems that some things burn eternally and cannot be extinguished by the efforts of mere man: the underground coal fire that rages in Pennsylvania that has burnt for 46 years and is still going strong; or the obsession of Geeklawyer’s growing band of female stalkers (and the odd male one we’ll gloss over […]
