I’ve never liked the Co-op very much. Growing up, I didn’t care for their colourless, Soviet-style shops, and when I learnt what a co-operative was, the dislike only intensified. Our relationship hasn’t improved over time, either. I now find myself annoyed by their TV commercials, which smugly boast that the Co-op is “good with food”.

James Eadon: Politicians’ Porn Filter goes Tits Up
Our preachy leaders are indulging in what I call Censorship Porn – the debased, gratuitous abuse of our access to information. Like our socialist friends in China and elsewhere, our incumbent prime minister, Red Dave Cameron, wants to censor vast swathes of the Internet that The People routinely accesses. Content defined as porn and ANYTHING
The Austrian Way: is there a most important form of liberty?
We wrote the other day about our love, perhaps infatuation, with liberty. Within this we talked about leftists some time love for liberty in the social sphere above other forms of liberty and the more right-minded’s preference for economic liberty. But, when push comes to shove though, and under duress and coercion, we’ll chose economic
Marx on Monday: US Royal Baby
I don’t know about you but I am fed up to the eye teeth with all the publicity surrounding the birth of Prince George. Don’t the BBC and the Daily Mail know that there are over 500 republicans in Britain, all desperate to rid us of the so-called Royal Family and replace it with a
Radio Free Delingpole: Episode 40: Dirty Talk
Enjoy the latest episode of Radio Free Delingpole in which James Delingpole and Dr Tim Stanley talk porn, Eminem, Rodriguez, what to do with Detroit, the Royal Baby Trayvon, and other stuff. James is pro porn, Tim is anti. It’s a great show – sponsored by G-Tech (whose lightweight cordless vacuum cleaners are just brilliant –
The Austrian Way: Sod the left-right political spectrum, we stand way out here!
As we understand the left to right political spectrum, we don’t much like the various points on the sliding scale to be judged, bracketed and placed. It all depends on your definitions, but in our perception of things we find those left of centre to sometimes be quite good at respecting freedoms in the personal
Delingpole on Friday: If I’m a Wanker what does that make David Cameron?
There are some things men tend not discuss with their wives, girlfriends, mothers, daughters. One of them is internet porn. We don’t discuss it – even those of us with frank, happy relationships in which pretty much every other one of our innermost thoughts is on the conversational menu – not so much because it’s
RGTyler: American Recovery? What Recovery?
Last week I was in America at Ground zero, no not the one in New York that was the site of the tragic 9/11 attacks, but Florida. The economic Ground Zero. You see the way I see it Florida was one of the sites of the economic bubble that eventually burst helping to cause the
Russell Taylor – Recovery and reform? Don’t believe the hype.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Less than three years in and the government is making a difference. The economy is recovering, spending is under control, crime is down and unemployment is falling. Conservatives have even found they can raise the dread subjects of immigration and Europe without being compared to Hitler. Times are good. Even the weather’s fine.
The Austrian Way: The Government cocks up banking reform… again
We have grave misgivings about the privileged position granted to the banking and finance industry these last 40 years (you could also say much longer, back to 1913). The good times with their profits and bonuses are too often enjoyed privately, but the costs of failure and collapse are socialised. The whole Washington Wall Street
