Grumpy Dragon: Free speech isn't so free any more
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2012/04/free-speech-isnt-so-free-any-more.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Monday, April 16, 2012. Free speech isn't so free any more. If limits are placed on what can be said can we still say that we have "Free Speech"? And some more on Max Farquar's blog here. The prevailing orthodoxy and it took brave people to stand up and using speech and the written word to challenge that false assumption and I am sure those in power at the time found the idea that all men are of equal talents regardless of the colour of their skin "offensive". I would...

Grumpy Dragon: Do you want porn with that sir?
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2012/04/do-you-want-porn-with-that-sir.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Friday, April 27, 2012. Do you want porn with that sir? So kind of as predicted earlier on this blog there's a growing head of steam around this "Opt in for porn" thing with your ISP. The Daily Fail has got its panties in a bunch and started a campaign and Labour, always quick to spot a rolling bandwagon particularly when it comes to nanny stateism, have jumped on board. They grew up with computers and probably have forgotten more about configuring anonymous proxies t...

Grumpy Dragon: June 2012
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Friday, June 29, 2012. There but for the grace of the angels go I. So if you have a RBS, NatWest or Ulster Bank account you probably don't need telling that something went very, very badly titsup last week. Stories of people being stuck in jail as their bail could not be paid, people temporarily homeless as solicitors couldn't hand over keys on house transactions and so on and so forth. Are you sure it's OK? You sure you put that full stop in the right place? After re...

Grumpy Dragon: May 2012
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Monday, May 28, 2012. I don't suppose it's too late to give the Bloody Olympics to France is it? I mean they did seem to want it at the time. To have a go at and the creepy, deformed mascots that look like they were designed by the kid on the short bus whist going through Ritalin withdrawal. And yes the irony of the world's largest purveyor of junk food sponsoring an elite athletics event is not lost on me. Links to this post. Monday, May 14, 2012. Still, maybe in ano...

Grumpy Dragon: January 2012
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Do you wanna be in my gang? If you're on Twitter you can't help but have noticed last week the Twitterati throwing what I like to call a "twitfit", an outpouring of sturm und drang. In 140 characters because former glam rock musician and convicted pedophile Gary Glitter had popped up on the popular microblogging site to announce a comeback tour. That's why we have to take away internet anonymity! Now I hold no brief for the kiddy fiddlers (a...

Grumpy Dragon: February 2012
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Thursday, February 16, 2012. I need a drink. So as expected and blogged about previously here comes Dishface Cameron and his tight lipped, clenched buttocked puritans and bansturbators determined to grind any bit of pleasure out of our lives and wielding a 45p per unit minimum price for alcohol. OK so I'll apply for a licence. Ah no, no you won't Little Dragon. Because HMRC have rather kindly put together " Notice 39. 23 Can you refuse or revoke a licence? Now it seem...

Grumpy Dragon: December 2011
http://grumpy-dragon.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Misanthropy is the new rock 'n roll. Saturday, December 31, 2011. From midnight tonight all throughout the EU you shall be free as the European Union has banned battery hen cages. Now I am all for an end to all intensive farming and battery hen egg production in particular. I keep chickens and they are all ex-battery hens that I get from the folks at the British Hen Welfare Trust. Ah, no, actually strike that. not so well done after all:. So as ever the UK has rolled over to the mighty EU and done everyt...
