The True Statesman

The True Statesman

This afternoon’s session of Prime Minister’s Questions was, for me, the best of the year so far.  David Cameron was undoubtedly on peak form as he ravaged Labour’s complete disregard toward the Armed Forces and had to spell out for Gordon Brown that defence spending under the Conservative government decreased as, “Under the Conservatives, we won the Cold War!”

James Who?!

James Who?!

When National Executive members of Conservative Future have to ask that question, you know said ‘James Cutts’ doesn’t speak for the Conservative Party or CF in anyway.  Why, therefore has Mr. Cutts been commenting on the Grauniad’s latest hatchet job attempt at Pickles and the Young Britons’ Foundation?

Guardian FAIL… epically.

Guardian FAIL… epically.

Late last night, lefty conspirators hit that “SEND” button on their Macbooks (Ed: Don’t YOU use a Macbook?) and went to the presses on this deeply embarrassing expose on the Young Britons’ Foundation- Britain’s young free-market training organisation.  The problem is, it wasn’t embarrassing for YBF.  It was a yet another non-story in the long line of Grauniad pseudo-journalistic bias.

The Unseen ‘Blair Book’ Cover Art

The Unseen ‘Blair Book’ Cover Art

So TB’s new book is coming out in September, eh?  Nope, not Tory Bear but rather his mentor the former Prime Minister for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.  Yep, Tony Blair’s, “The Journey” will be gracing bookshelves (Ed: and possible bargain buckets) in the year to come.  KeepRightOnline has seen secret unseen cover art that never made Blair’s approval;  check it out:

Jokes aside, it’ll certainly be an interesting read- I’m especially looking forward to the ‘Brokeback’ moments with Brown, followed by the vase/phone throwing moments towards the end of the relationship.

“I have tried to write a book which describes the human as much as the political dimensions of life as prime minister,” he said.

Right.  But why ‘The Journey’?  He’s just a small town girl?

A new $50 bill!

A new $50 bill!

President Reagan (alongside our great Maggie) defeated communism, tore down ‘that wall’ and brought delight to millions of theatre goers across the world (this is not a complete list of his acheivements).  And yet, the United States is yet to afford one of their greatest Presidents with a spot on their currency.  Ludicrous!  Until now, that is… (more…)

Grauniad mash up – Pre #springforum lulz.

Grauniad mash up – Pre #springforum lulz.

A round up of spring forum follows later today, I promise.  I’d like to look at everyone else’s impressions first and so far, I guess you could say ’so good’.  I like to think I get around quite a bit at these things so I’m gonna offer some insights into the various areas of Spring Forum, from atmosphere of the general delegation, the buzz around the bar, Hannan’s Tea Party, impressions of the Shad-Cab, the press area, journos and more. (Ed: And the speech, don’t forget the speech!) But that’ll take a while to articulate so in the mean time I decided to parody the front page of The Grauniad this morningWho’s more unsure about who?

Update: Also, we’ve Wordled David Cameron’s speech from Spring Forum – seems his emphasis is on people, country, think and going.  In contrast, Gordon Brown’s speech for Welsh Conference this weekend concentrates heavily on people, Wales, Labour, jobs and government.  Make of it what you will…

Internationally acclaimed.

Internationally acclaimed.

You know, some websites don’t get read at all, and that’s a damned shame.  Because we all know how awesome some people are at writing.  So articulate, so insightful, it’s a wonder they don’t have doctorates!  Spin as they might, no one cares what they have to say, and so they sit in their cubicles, retweeting their own tweets, setting up blog after blog in order to get attention.  It’s unfortunate.

Here at KeepRightOnline, we have noticed both an incredible spike in viewership, and we were also approached at CPAC in Washington DC by readers and fans.  It’s a shame some people this side of the pond are so parochial and insignificant.  My message to those people really is, pack it in – you’re useless.

Herman van Pwned!

Herman van Pwned!

I know most of you have seen this already but I’m hoping to extend this out to our international readership too (which is surprisingly large).

Nigel Farage, the man I was beating up on in my head a few weeks ago for his attempt to ban articles of clothing within the UK has laid waste to Herman Von Rompuy, the new, un-elected President of the European Council. Check out the video below for great quotes like,

“You have the charisma of a damp rag and the look of a low grade bank clerk.”

“Perhaps that’s because you come from Belgium which is pretty much a non-country.”

“You have no legitmacy… we don’t know you, we don’t want you.”
