Is Israel really the monster it’s made out to be?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Thaddeus J. Wilson on September 8, 2011

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Guest on September 7, 2011

It is strange how many subtle changes can alter an entire national perspective.

The Britain I last lived in about 30 years ago was radically different from the Britain today.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 7, 2011

The Curmudgeon on Cameroid.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 6, 2011

Reading of the latest Cameroid ‘big society’ project, accompanied by Prime Ministerial scoffing of ale and jubilation from the outraged ‘moral majority’, I am minded of an incident several years ago now, when a friend of mine

How Much is that Golly in the Window?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 6, 2011

I give in. No longer will I try to make sense of this world. The entire country is nuts.

Two neighbours live in £1 million pound properties separated by a spacious courtyard – and I do

Making a Drachma Out of a Crisis.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 5, 2011

I idly wondered, in the early hours of this morning, where had the original advertising slogan come from? Susie Henry, who founded the Waldron, Allen, Henry & Thompson advertising agency for Legal and General, if you are

Blogger’s Handbags at Dawn: The *More Popcorn* Sagas.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 5, 2011

One of the defining features of the comments section of political blogs is the propensity for reasoned debate to slide into hysterical abuse. Frequently the comments can be better than the original blog posts as commentators relieve

A Tale of Two Welfare Checks

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Matt Wardman on September 5, 2011

Recently I’ve heard two stories of unexpected and dramatic visits from police,  entirely separate from the admirably rapid follow-ups to alleged offences based during the recent mayhem on our streets.

A Welfare Check is when the

Ms Smudd en superbe forme…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gloria Smudd on September 4, 2011

Stripping Benedict

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 3, 2011

I dare say you saw the story yesterday about Benedict Garrett, good looking, hunky, talented young teacher, who was found guilty of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’.

Benedict’s crime was that he didn’t just stand in front of

Profligacy in the Magistrate’s Court.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 2, 2011

The Magistrate’s Court is one of our oldest institutions, the very embodiment of Cameroid’s Big Society. The devolvement of power and responsibility down to grass roots level.

‘Good and Lawful’ men have been charged with objectively

The politics of abortion

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Thaddeus J. Wilson on September 1, 2011

There can be no more emotive topic, nor one that more clearly underscores the villainy of government versus the sensitivity of anarchism than the difficult matter of abortion.

Nadine Dorries, bless her

Killer Queen

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on September 1, 2011

A mini convention of Raccoonistas occurred the other weekend, with various contributors to the blog turning up at Madam La Raccoon’s “chateau” in south west France.

Is It ‘Cos I’s Victimised?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 1, 2011

‘Old man Dale had a Farm’, back in the days when farms were something you kept animals on and scraped a living from. He milked cows and herded sheep and did all manner of such things.

Gaddafi and MI6

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Charles Crawford on August 31, 2011

The latest development in the relationship between MI6 and Muammar Gaddafi is a price of £1m placed on his head. Charles Crawford recounts the history of an ‘interesting’ relationship.

Soon after the US-led attack on Saddam Hussein began,

Trawling Labia for the G-Spot.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 31, 2011

Today we learn that Britain’s finest, those lantern jawed, snake hipped men of Hereford and Worcester are on their hands and knees conducting a finger tip search of Labia’s mysterious hills, vales, and hidden crevices looking for

Tax Brakes?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Thaddeus J. Wilson on August 30, 2011

I saw something the other day, something utterly unremarkable in its banal common sense:

“Give tax breaks to manufacturing businesses in areas of high unemployment”

I mean, it’s obvious, isn’t it? When

Jail Time for Facebook Crimes

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Matt Wardman on August 30, 2011

There have now been a number of sentences set for so-called “Facebook crimes”; that is, attempts using Facebook and other social media to organise rioting, or looting, or other criminal activity.

Or, as has been claimed, joking about

Hacking for Halfwits.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 30, 2011

Its never to late to learn – you too can be an object of fear to the authorities.

Keep up with your teenage children.

Mine’s a Guinness – and put a Shamrock on that, won’t you?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Daz Pearce on August 29, 2011

I decided not to comment on the biggest football story of the last seven days until the weekend was over, just to make sure that it actually was.

[Editorial Note: For cricket and other people who

French With Tears

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 29, 2011

I wrote this last night.

It was intended as an e-mail to a good friend, but dork that I am, I don’t have my e-mail password with me…. I have my computer, but no wi-fi connection.

Walk the plank, Mr Shapps!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Thaddeus J. Wilson on August 28, 2011

While perusing the news in a most cantankerous frame of mind, I was suitably annoyed to come across this mindbendingly stupid idea from our Minister of Housing:

Why we need to know the truth about Hillsborough

The Anna Raccoon Archives
