Write Back: I'm astounded by Lord Laird's wasteful questions
Thursday, 9 February 2012
Laird is taking the mickey. This is the same man who claimed for taxis to Dublin because, if he travelled on the train, people ridiculed his kilt.

Unelected, unaccountable and wasteful - that just about sums up his contribution to public life.

Changing face of policy over the Falklands
Wednesday, 8 February 2012
It is depressing that the British ambassador to the UN has given the Secretary General a rather obviously selective account of the history of the Falkland Islands and British claims to sovereignty.
