What is the Point of Sunny Hundal?

Sunny Hundal, the Labour Tory Lib Dem Labour supporting blogger has written his oddest piece for some time.
It takes the form of an attack on the human rights activist, Gita Saghal. He ends with the following observation:
When you’re desperately trying to pretend the Catholic Church has done nothing wrong then you know something’s gone awfully [...]

Labour Leadership round-up

As well as the Millibands, Diane Abbott has thrown her hat into the ring. Hopefully, this won’t mean a return to sofa government.
Andy Burnham has entered, although some might think he’d be wiser to win the leadership next time round.

Bully Balls (surely doomed by past associations and other concerns) is standing. So if you thought [...]

The wisdom of the BNP – Part 3

This is a cross post by Edmund Standing
Another look around the BNP supporting blogs:
We begin with a post by BNP Legal Director Lee Barnes on ‘The Betrayal of Europe by the Churches’:
Europeans have not abandoned Christianity, Christianity abandoned Christianity.
The Churches are filled with superstitious immigrants busy doing exorcisms on children who they see as ‘witches’ [...]

Guido Gloats

And he has every right to.

Although it is, perhaps, a touch overdone…

Fair Play

I think Tim Ireland is a bit silly. There. I’ve said it.
We met when the Guardian did an article about us, and then we had a nice lunch afterwards. Tim seemed OK to me.
I have never really followed Tim’s site. At my last place of work, it was categorised – surreally – as pornographic, and [...]

A Sight You Don’t See Every Day

While watching the Last Night of the Proms a moment ago, I’m pretty sure that I saw a woman wrapped in what looked like either the Iraqi or Syrian flag, waving the Union Jack and singing “God Save The Queen”.

(The conductor was the American, David Robertson)

The way of the fisk

Norm suggests that despite the inclusion of the verb “to fisk” in the recent edition of the Collins English Dictionary, it is fading from use. It made me realise that there was a swathe of terms produced in the aftermath of the rise of blogging and 911 which rose, and then sunk, without their demise [...]

Mappa Mundi

I have just returned home from a trip on which I had a chance to see the Mappa Mundi at Hereford Cathedral. The last time I visited it, I was 10. It was about 700 years old, or so.

It is a curious map. Jerusalem is at its centre. England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland are all [...]

Double Standards

I’m currently being attacked by Sunny Hundal, an MCB supporting website, and, as I’ve already mentioned, some far-left weirdo.
Why? Because I wrote a report for the Centre for Social Cohesion exposing racism which focused on race instead of Islam, and because of a two part article I was asked to write for the eGov monitor [...]

Islamophilia Botch

A silly website called ‘Islamophobia Watch’ has put up a couple of posts denouncing me for supposed failings in my report for the Centre for Social Cohesion on the BNP. The site is apparently run by one Bob Pitt, whose approach is summed up well by Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society:
Bob Pitt sees [...]
