Merry Christmas to all our friends and readers

The Talking Clock would like to wish all of our regular readers a very, very Merry Christmas.

We send seasonal goodwill to all men (except for Martin Schultz).

We hope that you all find not what you want but what you need under your Christmas tree.

May Labour politicians find the gift of leaving people alone, may Liberal Democrats find the gift of principles and may Conservative Party politicians find a spine.

Lastly, but not least, we wrote a special letter to the North Pole and asked that 'Mr. Naughty Or Nice' give to Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy the most apt gift possible.

We wish we could be there to see the look of magic in his eyes when he opens his gift wrapped damp rag, but we can't.

Peace and Merry Christmas to you all.

That's really nice of you, my dear Froggy friend.

I suspect that we're all in for a rocky ride in 2011. Dunno why. But I think 2010 was just the warm up.

Whatever happens, I hope that you manage to find many moments of personal happiness and success...

...and I'll certainly join you in a toast to an independent Britain!

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
