I’m in a fisking mood today, and as Dorries is more that usually inane at the moment, I’m afraid its going to have to be a bit of Mad Mel that gets the bullet:
Oh God! Tony Blair has confessed to religious faith being ‘hugely important’ to him during his tenure as Prime Minister.

And?
The full force [...]

Dan Hardie has an update on the situation in Iraq that needs to be spread as widely as possible:

I’ve had emails from three people who claim to be – and who almost certainly are- Iraqi former employees of the British Government. All three say that they and their former colleagues are still at risk of [...]

I’ve seen some bullshit in my time but this piss-poor attempt at a defence of homoeopathy by Denis MacEoin just about takes the biscuit:

This evening, in common with a number of other bloggers [...]

Everything should now be in working order, but moving the blog has meant resetting the Spam Karma plugin, so if you post a comment and it doesn’t appear then bear with me – it’ll take a day or two to get SK configured properly.

I can’t help but be rather amused by the ongoing catfight between Nadine Dorries and Recess Monkey of which Tim Ireland has helpfully provided a running commentary.
On the one hand RM does look to have pushed the envelope of good taste a little in digging out the Facebook profile of Dorries’s daughter but then, on [...]

I’ll give you the short version.
Got into ruck with domain registrar. Bastards detagged my domains. Going to retrieve them via Nominet.
In the meantime, I’m here at www.ministryoftruth.me.uk and the old .org.uk address will be redirected here as soon as things are sorted.
