Quotes

  • Thomas Sowell
    Many have argued that capitalism does not offer a satisfactory moral message. But that is like saying that calculus does not contain carbohydrates, amino acids, or other essential nutrients. Everything fails by irrelevant standards
  • Ryszard Kapuscinski
    Nationalism cannot exist in a conflict-free condition; it cannot exist as a thing devoid of grudges and claims. Wherever the nationalism of one group rears its head, immediately, as if from beneath the ground, this group's enemies will spring up.
  • Richard Lindzen (climate scientist, MIT)
    Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life.
  • Edward R. Murrow
    Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.
  • Mark Twain
    No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.
  • Frederic Bastiat
    And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty.
  • AA Gill
    But don’t for a moment imagine that the bicycle-riding, organic-hedgerow-grazing, self-denying, 40-watt miserablists are in fact selfless crusaders for the common good. Never underestimate the sustaining pleasure in a hair shirt. Just look at George Monbiot, and witness a man who couldn’t be happier about the imminent demise of life as we know it. It’s given him purpose, prestige and celebrity: without global warming he’d be a geography teacher.
  • John W. Gardner
    The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
  • Gary Bushell
    The Green Party will go from green to red faster than a frog in a blender.
  • Tom Paine
    Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.

Sir Ian Blair Says New Terror Attack Could Lead to Internment

Link: Iain Dale's Diary: EXCLUSIVE: Sir Ian Blair Says New Terror Attack Could Lead to Internment.

This seems to surprise Iain. It does not surprise me. This blog began because I felt I could not be silent about the police state that Labour seems determined to build. I am still waiting, anxiously, for the Tories to show some concern or even some understanding of the nature of the threat.

Sadly, Iain is the most prominent Tory to do so, so far.

Still waiting for the opposition to start opposing instead of a desire to become part of the ruling elite.

Oh I think Cameron is very tough with his core vote, he is very big when it comes to the "blue rinse" brigade. Suicide nutjobs are a bit more controversial. You see there's an election to win, there's an image to create. We don't want to upset too many of those electors in the middle ground and outright condemnation (you remember those, the ones without the "but" phrase at the end) might not be touchy-feely enough.
