A Requiem for Popsy.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 31, 2013

It is fatal for me to read the comments on this blog late at night – they are always superb and well thought out, so much effort goes into them; we shall ignore the churlish few. Every

Battery Children – Scottish style!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 30, 2013

Put a large calendar in front of you this morning as you read this, you will need an efficient reminder that it is NOT April Fool’s Day.

Remember when we were all terribly concerned with

Where’s Wally?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 30, 2013

I went to sleep thinking about Wally, I woke in the night thinking of Wally, and he was back in residence in my mind at the crack of dawn. I have no idea why.

Wally isn’t

One Man and His Shed.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 29, 2013

I needed to open a can of treacle today. Mr G was off in the middle distance, roaring up and down the field on his tractor; the man who cut the hay had had a wobble mid

Judicial Chicanery.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 28, 2013

Lawyers are wordsmiths if nothing else. It is their only tool of trade. The ability to wrangle new meaning out of perfectly ordinary locution; they will happily wrestle for hours like greased weasels as they skilfully elude

Who was the Man in the Iron Mask?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on May 26, 2013

Some months ago, my dear French friend Dr. Firenza Pesta set me a challenge which has given rise to a certain degree of obsession amongst some historians and academics, particularly in France: who was the Man

Exquisite Timing!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 25, 2013

How is the weather in your part of the Bank Holiday British Isles?

Looking at the weather map, I see that West Freugh (I had to look it up too – 5 miles south east of

Children in Care.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 24, 2013

One of the more curious aspects of ‘child care’ by the State, a state of being lauded by those on the left wing, is the utter abruptness with which you become an adult.

In normal life, by which

Drones.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Sigillum on May 23, 2013

What is terrorism? As the old adage goes, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. But, in truth, that implies a certain degree of moral relativism which is a cop-out. In the end, there is a right

The Victimal Hierarchy.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 22, 2013

Can I pose a question to you? When you go to fill up your car, do you search out the most expensive petrol to buy? No?

Surely you have a moral duty to do so? You

Cameron Letter: Dear Nation, You’re all loons and we’re so cool

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Daedalus X. Parrot on May 21, 2013

LETTER FROM THE PRIME MINISTER, THE RT.HON. DAVID CAMERON, TO THE NATION

Dear Swivel eyed loons, closet racists, fruitcakes, bigots, homophobes, NIMBYs, BANANAs, NUMBPYDs and other taxpayers,

As you all realise, my carefully selected metrosexual inner circle and I are

The Revenge of the Social Worker?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 20, 2013

The Crymlyn Bog is one of the less salubrious parts of Wales. The Romans avoided it, the Welsh had no wish to live in it, and until a wealthy Victorian businessman hired local labour to spend their

By the Light of the Swivel-Eyed Loon…..

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 18, 2013

1,466 new laws were introduced in the last year, compared with 1,355 in 2011, every last one of them by a government that pledged to ‘cut red tape’.

1,466 new ways in which you could be criminalised.

A Stickler for the Truth?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 17, 2013

The BBC programme Newsnight and its ability to truthfully portray events has been of interest to Raccoonistas for some time now. It is fair to say that we have a distinctly jaundiced view of its agenda.

We

This is the Self-preservation Society!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 15, 2013

You cannot avoid the Angelina Jolie story this morning, it is spread across every media outlet. A chance to have a gawp at her breasts – but it’s all in a good cause…

In case you

Save Your Freedom – Please Retweet!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 14, 2013

We need to ‘gird our loins’ and go to battle folks, I need your assistance on this one! Please retweet this post to anyone you think might pay attention, and kick into action those who you think

The Pharmaceutical Industry; Ring-Masters of Lunacy.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 13, 2013

It must be that time of the month again, you know, the full moon. Either that or the magic mushroom harvest has been particularly plentiful this year.

The fifth edition of the American Psychiatry Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual

Sir Alex Ferguson, Gnosticism, and the Meaning of Life

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on May 12, 2013

Not a bad title, eh? I mean, it has got it all. Football, a touch of “The Da Vinci Code” and the promise of secret knowledge.

Football always gets a bit of a kicking

Hearty Congratulations Raccoonteurs!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 11, 2013

Back in the later half of last year, I rushed out an ‘emergency’ post, and asked for your help to publicise it.

‘Edna’ of this noble Raccoon Parish had drawn my attention to a Government consultation

An important advance in Child Protection.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 10, 2013

Whilst we were all busy reading the West Yorkshire Police Inquiry Report this morning, which having earnestly reported that it was keen to ‘separate myth and rumour from fact’ went on to tell us (amidst

The Family Liaison Officer.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 9, 2013

I chanced upon a remark in my recent reading that struck me as so callous, so utterly devoid of empathy, that I stopped short. Who had made this remark? A Family Liaison Officer!

As is my wont, I

Football, Racism, and Useless Running Dogs.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 7, 2013

Now cut me some slack this morning, as they say. I am but a mere female, and I understand not that of which I speak…

I always understood the origins of football to lie in the mystic veneration

Nigel Evans MP is not Dead; Nigel Evans MP is Gay!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 6, 2013

Blimey! If we ever doubted the veracity of the two statements in my headline, we have only to take a quick run through the media today. Even the various pictures of Nigel Evans MP that are selected by the

Cinema Paradiso

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on May 5, 2013

It is a bank holiday weekend, and it is fitting that a certain amount of sitting about doing nothing should take place. I feel very strongly that a certain amount of disciplined, applied laziness is a

The Flat-Pack Barrister…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 4, 2013

The incumbent government is desperate to stop money haemorrhaging out of the Treasury.  They try to pick on some area of the economy where the potential recipients of funds are not too militant – they don’t want miners flame throwing

UKIP if you want to…!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 3, 2013

UKIP has acted as the Provisional Wing of the Pub Bore Society for some years. Seated on the far stool of political life, they have droned on endlessly about the failings of the big three parties. ‘They’re

Victim’s Rights v.Villain’s Rights.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 2, 2013

When the Police in Maryland, U.S, suspected a nightclub owner of running a major drug dealing operation, they were not unsurprisingly, rather keen to find out where he went every day, and who he was meeting. It is an

Who’s telling this story? Whose story is it anyway?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 1, 2013

It’s the age old argument at dinner tables twixt husband and wife – ‘Who’s telling this story?’ – as husband (I’m biased, so?) interrupts wife halfway through the tale and manages to spoil the punch line…

It has set me thinking. Who actually ‘owns’
