Bid to Legalise Cannabis in UK

I have endless respect for MP for North Norfolk, Norman Lamb, and this stand he took on the 23 March is a good example why. I’ll be addressing this issue on a podcast soon, but for now you can listen to the entire speech he made below:



You’ll also notice Labour MP Paul Flynn in the background, another courageous campaigner on this issue.

Jeb Bush Endorsement… kind of…

Jeb Bush has come out in favour of Ted Cruz as the man who can beat Donald Trump. Or at least, he kind of has, because he couldn’t be bothered to call a press conference, instead choosing to post this appeal on facebook, probably after a cocktail or two. Expect later this evening the occasional rant and some pictures of cats.

Danczuk Pays For More Than A Banana

As discussed way back on First Ade then Paul Ep 003 – The Ring of Power, Simon Danczuk, the noble campaigner against the corrupt practices of Paul Rowen (who maliciously claimed for a banana on his expenses), has been ordered to pay back £11,583.20 wrongly claimed for children that weren’t actually living with him in London.


When campaigning against Rowen, Danczuk apparently used the tactic of putting supporters in banana costumes to highlight his opponent’s terrible sin, so presumably the Liberals will deploy youngsters against Danczuk to highlight his, though unperturbed, Danczuk would probably just send them all lewd text messages.

Catching Up On What I’ve Missed

One of the best things about returning from holiday is catching up on what everyone has been up to in my absence. No, I’m not talking about Trump (though I’m sure we’ll be getting into him just as soon as the story changes), I’m talking about people with rather a lot more talent.


So, my first stop is listening to the film reviews by Tom Charles (of Sketchy Reviews). Join in by listening below:



After that, it’s a pop over to J M Hooker’s blog to enjoy some of his fine photography and musings on fire hydrants.

And finally it is off to check in with the latest creation of Paul Hayes… although that’s a secret still in development. You’ll have to wait for that one.

The Mitts Are Off!

So a couple of podcasts ago we discussed who Donald Trump might nominate for VP, and one of the names mentioned was Mitt Romney. At the time this seemed like a reasonable idea, he is after all a Republican of experience who could reach out to the moderate wing.


Yeah… don’t think that’s going to happen.
