Pigs and Poppies – Are the Judiciary trying to provoke a Revolution?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 31, 2012

Which is in itself a thought provoking question. Or is it the Crown Prosecution Service, which decides upon charges to be brought, which is determined to be the catalyst for unrest?

We have here two incidents, both

Thought Crime and Polygraph tests on Sex Offenders.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 30, 2012

Three years ago, Professor Don Grubin, was given the task of putting his theories into practice by heading up a trial programme to give sex offenders released from prison on parole a six monthly polygraph – or lie

Industrial chugging on behalf of the disabled.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 29, 2012

We need one of those endles adverts – the ‘just two pounds a week would save’ variety. In this case ‘just two pounds a week to the Treasury would cut the debt mountain more effectively than the coalition’

Guardian readers in support of smoking shocker!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 28, 2012

Yes, yes, it’s true I tell you. I jest not.

Guardian readers are piling into the comments sections as we speak, in support of smoking. They are armed with endless faux information as to how it isn’t damaging

Times past and present.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 27, 2012

A Parisian friend sent me this picture of a little cottage on the French coast that they were thinking of purchasing as a holiday cottage. They wanted Mr G to look at it and tell them whether

The good, the right and the ugly…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Chris on August 26, 2012

A spectre is haunting Europe — and, indeed, the civilised world. I’m not talking about communism (this time). Rather, this spectre is of a completely new kind of society. It advances under humanitarian labels: the ‘right to die’, the ‘good

Sack this Despicable Woman Immediately!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Sam Smith on August 22, 2012

Sam Smith makes the case for sacking Jo Williams immediately, withdrawing her DBE and ostracising her from society.

It has been said that for evil to triumph all that is necessary is for good men to do nothing.

Quantas – joining the Vile Lie Club.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 20, 2012

The Australia I remember of 40 years ago was a land of decidedly alpha-males. Beautifully tanned and muscle rippled alpha-males as it happens, most pleasing to the young woman’s eye. The skanky, lanky, English specimen I had brought with me didn’t bear comparison, but in

The Sunday Ramble – Voluntary Euthanasia and the Law

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on August 19, 2012

We hear a lot about “rights” these days. I would argue that save in very rare circumstances where the very safety of society is in peril, every man or woman has the right to live, but more than

Ian Brady & Julian Assange – Twin Souls in the Narcism Stakes.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 17, 2012

I was struck this morning by the similarities between Ian Brady and Julian Assange – the individuals, not their crimes.

You cannot compare the cruelty and callousness of Brady’s child murders with Assange’s alleged offences, though if you throw in

Wonderful Radio London … news around the clock !

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Pericles on August 15, 2012

45 years ago to-day the illegal Wilson régime proscribed the best wireless stations in the land (well, actually just off the land) and renamed the B.B.C.’s stations in line with the Labour Party’s

Premature Articulation yet again.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 12, 2012

50 odd years ago, Frank and Chick Plant were laying out the pineapple squares and fish paste sandwiches in preparation for a grand party. They lived in the idyllic property illustrated. It was bought in extraordinary circumstances

The Sunday Ramble : Panem et Circenses, Sonor et Lumen

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on August 12, 2012

Not sure about the Latin grammar, but there you go. I have scribed some mumbling carping about LOCOG and the “Olympic Family” and the general bloated and often corrupt corporate culture that goes with it before,

Exclusive – It were The Sun wot Newton Dunn it!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 11, 2012

“What matters now is justice takes its course” says The Sun this morning in respect of the Tia Sharp case.  Strange that – they are not always so keen on waiting for justice to ‘take its

I’m going to Walsh that man right out of my hair!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 10, 2012

Let us imagine for a moment that you are successful in your career. The bank balance is piling up nicely, you have an offer on your modest suburban mock-Tudor, and your wife has fallen in love with

London Underground – Shearing the Olympic Sheep

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Matt Wardman on August 10, 2012

I find myself – unusually – travelling the London Underground, from St Pancras to Waterloo; coincidentally during the height of the Olympic boom.

According to Transport for London, there will be an Continue reading →

The Dangers of Following The Sun…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 9, 2012

In the caring, sharing newsroom of The Sun, they know what sells newspapers. And what sells newspapers keeps the advertisers happy. And keeping the advertisers happy keeps your job for another month.

So they dispense with

Ms Raccoon…and a conundrum.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 6, 2012

Ms Raccoon has found that life is unaccountably grating on her recently.

To say nothing of aggravating people.

A change of scenery is the order of the day.

Accordingly she has fled the coop,

The Sunday Ramble – Come Back My Love, Part 1

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on August 5, 2012

I have been watching the rowing at the Olympics. The squad has done Britain proud, and it makes me all emotional. You see, long, long ago in a land far, far, away, your humble scribe had

Putting a Spoke in Wheeler’s Progress.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 3, 2012

The best part of 100 years ago, my Father discovered that there was a window you could climb through at the back of the Liverpool Institute. Once through the window, you could wander the corridors and enter

Family Honour

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on August 3, 2012

A few months ago I went to see the English film version of one of Stieg Larsson’s excellent novels, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In the climax of the film there is a scene in which a

Polly Maths

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Matt Wardman on August 2, 2012

Here we go again. Polly Toynbee had a narrative rant this week after Danny Boyle’s Olympic opening ceremony. Half of it is soaring rhetoric; the other half an assortment of claims alleged

Feminism and the Joy of Sex.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 1, 2012

I have been reading the case of ‘DD’ as she is known, yet another excellent example of the thinking applied to decisions made by the Court of Protection.

There are several comments in the judgment
