Pedallists do ‘It’ for the Sake of the Children….

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 20, 2013

Two wheels – Good. Two legs – Bad!

The naked ambition of London’s army of ‘oh-so-on-message’ environmentally aware cyclists knows no bounds. Two weeks ago, spectators were spellbound by the sight of the naked rear of

Walking in King John's Footsteps…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 19, 2013

798 years ago today, King John set his seal on the Magna Carta. The contents of that historic document had been bitterly argued over for four days. During those days, as the Barons struggled to wrest

The Expert’s expert expert…!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 18, 2013

Light years ago, before Jimmy Savile was even a twinkle in his Father’s eye, and Tesco’s hadn’t been invented, and there wasn’t a career in Television to be had, no matter who your Father was, ‘cos hardly

Neanderthal Man?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 17, 2013

Oop there in Liverpool, the 2008 ‘cultural Capital of Europe’ according to the European Commission, a young male was out and about with his lady.

He found himself surrounded by several young knuckle dragging males of

We’re all in this together – except for the Labour Party…!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 16, 2013

Back in the heady days of July 2009, a mere seven months after the onset of the ‘global banking crisis’, an event which Gordon Brown frequently reassured us had ‘started in America’ – and therefore was not

‘Pay As You Go’ Driving.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 14, 2013

Over the past four days days, Mr G has driven me around 3,000 kilometres (roughly 2,000 miles for the metrically challenged). One of his mad dashes to see something of interest to him! Enough said.

Putting a Spanner in the Works…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 9, 2013

Back some 20 years ago, when the sun still shone in summer time, and young army lads only got beheaded in foreign places so there was no need for a focus group to tell the Prime Minister

By Popular Request…the Man Cave!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 8, 2013

No, Ms Raccoon has no intention of shutting up – though that would be an equally popular request these days….

But several people have asked if I could creep into the man cave and take some pictures –

Everybody Here but those Turkeys

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Matt Wardman on June 7, 2013

It was late morning in the Porcument, and Peter the Pig was in mid-nap, dreaming of better times.

Was it really only a few years ago the heroic Sir Stuart Bell had spent days and weeks

D Day Reflection

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on June 6, 2013

69 years ago today, at about the young 9.00 am on June 6th 1944, the young man with a “Tommy” gun on the right of the photograph above was feeling sea sick and very scared.  He

Graham Ovenden and Blind Justice.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 5, 2013

What do you know of the trial of the artist Graham Ovenden? That he taped pubescent girl’s eyes shut with sticky black tape, sexually abused them, distributed photographs of them, was found guilty – and now, shock,

Pop Goes the (Welsh) Weasel!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 4, 2013

There is a lot you can do with £1.6 million pounds. Personally I’d go for the next ten years resident in The Mamounia, but trying to be civic minded, and bearing in mind that the £1.6

Maroc n’ Roll!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 3, 2013

Wow! Ms Raccoon has landed back on earth as inhabited by mere mortals – with a sickening thud. Mr G’s days of popping her into a camper van, parking it on some remote Portuguese hilltop and calling that a

The Redemption of Brooksie

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on June 2, 2013

I wonder who remembers Moonlighting? It was all the rage back in the 80’s and featured Cybil Shepherd and a young Bruce Willis as the wisecracking private detective. Being of a romantic nature there

In the Beginning…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 1, 2013

Today, an exhibition opens in London of an event, a life changing event, that transformed lives far more effectively than anything the Nu-Labour activists could dream of. It was a genuine revolution, a relatively bloodless one.

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.

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

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

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,

The Revenge of the Social Worker?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on May 20, 2013
