A View From Middle England by Arden Forester
http://ardenforester.blogspot.com
A Conservative-minded Midlander from the Forest of Arden, with a slight libertarian streak in his make-up. Against a centralising, law-mongering European Union - for a dynamic, enterprising Commonwealth of Europe of individual nation states. For positive Transatlantic co-operation - backing Ron Paul's Revolution. For an English Parliament within the UK after New Labour's FIX! A staunch opponent of spin and deception.

Recession? The penny hasn\'t dropped yet!
Yesterday most financial commentators were beside themselves because Britain is still in recession. I don't give much credence to all their computer calculating and number crunching excercises. I prefer a more simple method of comprehending whether w...
Gatecrashers at White House
Well, well! what was that about getting on the A-list? It seems a couple gatecrashed their way in to the dinner that President Obama was laying on for the Indian Prime Minister. Tareq and Michaele Salahi were reportedly not invited but later posted p...
