Sunday Paper Review

The biggest political story is an 'exclusive' in the News of The World. Remember the meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party that was meant to be one of Gormless's big showdowns and hurdles but just resulted in robotic, pre-programmed sycophants applauding the Unelected PM? Well, according to the NOTW, immediately afterwards, none other than Ed Balls was heard promising Labour colleagues that he would get rid of Gormless at the Labour Party Conference this September...

The Sunday Express has a piece on ZaNuLiebour's policy document "Building Britain's Future". It suggests that publication of it has been delayed... because a few people looked at it and realised it was rather crap.

The Independent on Sunday carries a lengthy interview with BNP leader Nick Griffin. Throughout the interview, he is allowed to speak (he says white people who don't like multiculturalism "have moved to Somerset or the Costa del Sol") but there's an accompanying polemic write up from the interviewer overloaded with emotive language which - to us - is one of the reasons people voted for the BNP... people are sick to the back teeth of political correctness and being told what they can or cannot think. They'll be banning Christmas next...

The Observer are at it, too.

We're getting a bit bored of establishment, hysterically written anti-BNP features now. They all seem the same. "Nutcase racists" screams the label - along with an uncompromising refusal to discuss the issues which will, in our view... just drive people to vote for the BNP. On and on it goes... only Max Hastings at the Daily Mail seems to 'get it' and write with any honesty.

If you're not quite bored enough by stories on the BNP yet, how tedious are you finding the MP's dodgy expenses stories?

The Sunday Times reveals how Glenys Kinnock - soon to be elevated to the Lords in order to become another of ZaNuLiebour's banana republic unelected ministerial peers - has, along with supposedly socialist husband Neil, "already received up to £8m of taxpayers' money in pay and allowances" and between them they have "amassed six publicly funded pensions worth £185,000 per year". The report contains the reaction of Open Europe's Mats Persson who says: "The Kinnocks are Brussels's very own Lord and Lady Expenses".

The Mail on Sunday comes over all Daily Telegraph on us by doing it's own investigation into under siege Minister Shahid Malik's expenses. We couldn't be bothered to read through the list of facts and figures - it was sufficient for us to see a 71-year-old neighbour quoted describing Malik with the succinct phrase: "What a crafty b*****".

The Telegraph continues with it's expenses theme (day 9,426) and reports on how the Liberal Democrats are putting pressure on Shadow Chancellor George Osborne to repay £54,948 which they say is what he should have paid in capital gains tax had he not changed the designation of his second home.
