A Potential Tory A-Lister?
Quick, Dave, get her on the A list!
Australian former anti-immigration politician Pauline Hanson is selling up and heading to Britain, according to an interview with an Australian magazine.
One worries for Ms Hanson, as she gave her reasons for leaving Australia:
“Sadly, the land of opportunity is no more applicable," she said, blaming high taxes, over-regulation and a "lack of true representation".
This sounds like a case of out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Roger Helmer Defends the use of Lobbyists
David Cameron’s attack on lobbyists provokes a robust response from Roger Helmer:

The End of Real Men?
Oh, my God! This can’t be true – not in Britain: men take longer to get ready to go out than women:
A study has shown men dedicate 83 minutes of the day to their personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes.
In contrast, women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and manage to get hair, clothes and make up done in just 79 minutes.

It’s Not Fair!
Thomas Sowell bemoans the inappropriate use of the word ‘fair’:
If by “fair,” you mean everyone having the same odds for achieving success, then life has never been anywhere close to being fair, at any place or time. If you stop and think about it (however old-fashioned that may seem), it is hard even to conceive of how life could possibly be fair in that sense.
