The Mail on Sunday has an in depth report revealing the numbers of illegal immigrants being employed in Britain... by Government departments. Is anyone really surprised? Quite widespread by all accounts - the Home Office, the Ministry of Justice and the NHS all get an embarrassing mention.
You know those long queues that we have to go through and those piercing stares that they give us at Passport Control - British people with British accents and British passports - when we're coming back off our holidays? And how we have to join queues miles long to go through that? And how non-EU passport holders seemingly go into a queue of one person and get handed a cup of tea..? Okay, the cup of tea thing was a joke, but you get the idea. Dear, dear...
The Independent on Sunday continues with a theme that's been brewing in many reports over the last few weeks - reports of a rift between Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown. The Indy cites from an interview that Mandy has given to Esquire in which he "has publicly disowned" Labour's only election strategy which seemingly amounts to running around accusing the Conservatives of having nice accents.
The Observer analyses the road to recovery for five nations which "crashed and burned in the credit crunch". The newspaper looks at the misfortunes and woes suffered by Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Dubai and Spain. No mention of dear old Blighty - the former sovereign nation which Gordon Brown has screwed up completely and totally. Sigh.
The Sunday Times reports that three Labour MPs are using the 1689 Bill Of Rights as defence amidst the expenses scandal. We're well over the expenses scandal now, but hang on just a cotton picking minute... would this be the same Bill of Rights that this blog has been banging on about for months and months and months? The same Bill of Rights that says the signing of the Lisbon Treaty is unlawful, null and void? The same Bill of Rights that protects we the people from Government tyranny? The same Bill of Rights that we keep on saying is a constitutional document and that the constitution of our country must be upheld and those flouting it should be sent to The Tower... the one same document? Why, yes! Amazing that any MP has remembered that we have a constitution, after so much legislation that contravenes it.
So can we have the restoration of the written British constitution to supremacy above all other now, just as it should be, please?
The Sunday Telegraph has a report citing Royal sources who say that Prince William has no interest in being a 'Shadow King'. Hardly the most sensational story in the world, but we can't wait for him to be the real deal with his lovely brother alongside him - Diana's boys, on the throne as they should be.
So, a mixed bag of stories to start 2010 with...
