As Iraq descends into an ever greater shambles, the American and British governments are making increasingly delusional claims about "remaining on track" and "improving security". And, of course, if they can claim to have "won", they can withdraw their troops (or "scale back our commitment", in the current jargon). The euphemisms can barely disguise a decision to quit. So why isn't the pro-war

Talking of street information points in Kingston - they all now have Wi-Fi. Very useful if you want to use your laptop in the street ..........

Right, another response: Original post deleted along with 30 odd other garbled spams. Apologies, but for curious readers, my original post advised site visitors that Lib Dem's appeared to be posting spam posts to my site (my last post clarifies). However, it is interesting to note that your first post at 8.03am this Saturday morning has a post string address http://www.dennispaul.org/_disc2/00000145.htm This is preceded with three spam post strings at... 8.01am this morning with post string addresses... http://www.dennispaul.org/_disc2/00000144.htm and http://www.dennispaul.org/_disc2/00000143.htm and http://www.dennispaul.org/_disc2/00000142.htm all in the same sequence. Independent visitors will see from the spam junk I have ...

Since posting this on Dennis Paul's forum. I have since had a response here: The webmaster was of course referring to 'Liberty Demagogues' a term I use to describe people who clog up my site. This should not be inferred as a reference to political parties, if in fact this is what you are suggesting. Good you brought this to our attention though - I'll ensure it is clearer next time, I welcome any suggestions to improve the site, but I don't share your computer expertese I'm afraid. Regards, Dennis Well, firstly, thanks for the flattering remark. ...

I was five years old when Sir Winston Churchill died. I was very impressed by his funeral procession and formed the notion that every time someone died their funeral was shown on television. (Cute - though in these days of cable TV there must be a channel somewhere trying to put my idea into practice.) A couple of years later I was more worldly, but still shocked when Donald Campbell's death was shown on the news. I can remember the jerky black and white footage of his speedboat Bluebird somersaulting and then breaking up on Consiton Water as he tried ...

It is not just Westminster where there is a shortage of Catholic priests. There they have resorted to advertising on beermats in the hope of attracting the right sort of applicant. In America the Catholic Church are making it clear that entering the priesthood is not just a vocation but a continuous fight against evil. They have turned to the film The Matrix for the inspiration for a series of adverts that portrays the priest in full cassock -- and the requisite Roman collar -- holding a cross in one hand and a rosary in the other. And he is ...

Was the decision to invite racing pundit John McCririck to deliver a tribute at Robin Cook's funeral service part of Cook's last will and testament?If so, one can only say it was Cook's final political master-stroke.

Following the explosions and pyrotechnics of John McCririck at yesterday's funeral all is settled into quiet normality in Livingston. The weather is not sure what to do rain, sun and overcast have all made a bid to be today's weather. It is like the moody calm before the storm. In fact it is so quiet I stuck in Livingston by election into Google on the off chance that something might come up.

Well, Big Brother is finished now, and I'm feeling the gaping hole in my life that it has left. Consequentially, instead of switching on the addictive E4 this morning, I turned to the net for my amusement. First of all, at Dennis Paul's website, amongst all the random unicode-stringed posts that some troll had been submitting to his "post" script, I found a post that accused the Lib Dems of spamming the site. Now, I would never restrict Dennis Paul's voice, because of two reasons. 1. His outrageous comments and views are rather amusing.2. He probably loses more ...
