Ken on May 10th, 2008Being Fined by the Michelin Man
Perhaps Gorgon Ramsey is being a little bit hypocritical when he calls for restaurants to be forced to serve home-grown, locally-sourced produce, and fined if out of season ingredients appear on their menus. After all he has built a reputation running restaurants in the middle of London where there is a distinct scarcity of [...]
Ken on May 7th, 2008The Fire of Scottish Nationalism
the decision of the Scottish voters will effectively destroy the United Kingdom, and instead create something he calls a United Kingdoms of Independent Nations, but does not see by his own argument that the rest of us should also have a voice, as it is very much affecting us and our nation.
Ken on May 6th, 2008In search of the truth
I feel there is something fishy, something decidedly wrong with the David Aaronovitch piece in the Times this morning.

Ken on May 5th, 2008BNP Local Election Gains
It seems that just posing a question about BNP advances in the local elections is enough to brand someone a racist supporter of a hateful group of violent criminals.
Actually the venom expressed by the main parties and in the media against the BNP is perhaps a pointer to the reason why the BNP are making [...]

Ken on May 2nd, 2008The Local Election Results
The Local election headlines tell the story of a Conservative surge, a hammering for Labour and a I do not know how such an important subject, one that directly affects every other area of government power and authority can be considered to be nothing more than a minority interest, gentle slide for the LibDems, although [...]
