No comments(UK) Conservatives just don’t get it
Now Philip Hammond, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, has emphasised that the Conservatives will not do so either. They will fight the next election not merely on the promise to maintain Labour’s level of spending on public services – and therefore presumably its policies of wealth redistribution – but also on the pledge that they will not attempt to reduce personal or any other form of taxation in their first term in office. It means that voters will have to wait at least six years before they have any real chance of seeing their tax bills reduced.

He can’t even pronounce the word “fiscal” saying “physical” instead for the type of Conservative he claims to be. Oh god no…he is now ranting about “the Chocolate gauntlet” in supermarkets.

Oh yeah I discovered a few other published pieces as well. I had no idea they were on Amazon. A pleasant surprise; almost as good as the email I got from Amazon telling me that I could pre-order my latest book.
No commentsBanning handguns just does not work…esp not in DC
Ok, so let’s look at the numbers. The ban on handguns went into effect in the District of Columbia in 1977. However, every year since then, with the exception of 1985, the D.C. murder rate rose dramatically compared to other cities. D.C.’s murder rate ranked first or second among 50 other large cities over a span of 15 years.
