TweetFrom tow trucks to delivery trucks to ice cream trucks, commercial truck insurance is a necessity for any commercial truck business. A commercial truck insurance policy protects the commercial truck business from loss and damages, should the truck be involved … Continue reading →
Which is Britain’s “Fourth Party”?
Nigel Farage was obviously triumphant in his speech to UKIP’s spring conference, and so he should be. It’s not often that a party which has never been represented in the Commons comes second in an election to that chamber, as UKIP did in Barnsley Central. He spoke of UKIP now overtaking the Lib Dems and [...]
Because the mainstream media won’t report it…
Here’s Nigel Farage’s speech at the UKIP spring conference. I have a feeling it’ll be overshadowed a bit by Cameron. Other newspapers are available, by the way

UKIP’s best by-election yet
In case you haven’t already heard, UKIP finished second in the Barnsley Central by-election. It seems my prediction for the election was far, far too conservative, especially it failed to take into account the Lib Dems finishing sixth! The overall result is: Dan Jarvis (Lab) 14,724 (60.80%, +13.53%) Jane Collins (UKIP) 2,953 (12.19%, +7.53%) James [...]
Time to bring back the shilling
30 years ago today Britain decimalised her currency, abolishing the old penny and the shilling, and dividing the pound into 100 new pence, in line with almost every other currency in the world. One of the main arguments for adopting the decimal system was that inflation had virtually wiped out most of the subdivisions of [...]
Barnsley Central By-Election: The Lesser Candidates
Just like I did for the Old and Sad by-election, here are the candidates from the minor parties for the Barnsley Central By-Election. Just like last time, the parties are listed first of all in the order in which they finished at the General Election, then in alphabetical order, hence the BNP first. BNP: Enis [...]

Save us from the tyranny of pressure groups
Here’s a question for you: what does a pressure group do when it has achieved its aims? You would think that its members would congratulate themselves on a job well done and happily disband. In the case of many major groups, however, this does not happen. With the objectives achieved and the enemies slain, the [...]
Could Labour be about to put the Tories to shame?
Left-wing blog Left Foot Forward have reported that the Labour party, in their policy review, will consider whether it should be party policy to hold an in/out referendum on EU membership. Of course this is purely from the point-of-view of a pro-European organisation, who see such a referendum as a chance to “lance the boil [...]
