A group of local councils in England is formally asking the government for new powers to tax large supermarkets.

BBC News has learned that Derby City Council has called for the right to bring in a levy as a "modest" effort to ensure supermarket spending "re-circulates" in local communities.

I don't agree with the notion.
Because it wouldn't work mainly.

The Commonwealth of Nations formerly The British Commonwealth, is, as far as I know a unique collection of countries.
Many are colonialised nations and former members of the British Empire.
Some present members applied for membership have no connection to the UK.
There are no ruling members just a loose charter promoting simple democracies.

Is it just an archaic anachronism ?

845. Another way to weaken the Euro (7/21/2014)

The energy supply of Europe is heavily dependent on Russia. About one third to 40% of its natural gas and oil are imported from Russia. One important gas pipe is inside Ukraine. If there is a turmoil in Ukraine, the gas supply to Europe will be affected. The economy of Europe would be weakened, so be the Euro. That’s why we saw an upheaval in Ukraine.

My disgust knows no bounds.

Geneva (AFP) - "Jihadists in Iraq have ordered that all women between the ages of 11 and 46 must undergo female genital mutilation, which could affect up to four million women and girls in the war-ravaged country, a UN official said Thursday."

For some years I have been the BNP National Organiser leading our street protests, for example demanding the restoration of capital punishment for the killers of Lee Rigby, while others will know me for my union work as a former president of the nationalist union Solidarity.

I had to laugh when I saw this item in the local Southern Daily Echo....

Greedy squirrel gets stuck in bird feeder (From Daily Echo)

Don't know how this is possible!

The other day, I began to feel like I'd pulled a muscle in my neck. I didn't remember doing anything that would cause that. It was bothering me a bit, then my ear and my throat started bothering me. I thought, Oh boy, another ear infection. By Monday morning it is feeling like its working its way up into my sinus. So, Monday I wander down to the clinic and I tell the doc about how this came on. He shines his little light in my ear, and up my nose, and down my throat, and then he starts messing... [Read More]

There was a topic on this morning's "Thought For The Day" that got me thinking (the clue's in the title I suppose), and that was on a subject which I later found, via Google to be quite a popular notion.

Put quite simply, if you could send a letter back in time to yourself, aged 11, what would you say?

I think I might put something like...

Hi QuarterPart,

You don't know me - yet, but I know you, of old, so I thought I'd send you some... [Read More]

I love my wife as much today as I did when I first fell in love with her, and during the years we've been together she's become my best friend as well. I occasionally meet other women (here and there) and once in a while one of them would like to be more than just ….... I feel flattered but I have no interest in ….. Actually, whenever I see a really fetching woman it makes me all the more eager to see my wife at the end of the day.

So please tell me – why do I look women... [Read More]
