Jamie - King of the Wiki Game

Well I am first and foremost a traditional Conservative of the Thatcherite Breed, I am an active member of the Conservative Future and very vocal on issues I feel strongly about. I am in favour of the pound and broadly euroskeptic. I am completely against the current format of the welfare state, and fed up with reading about single parents, scraping nigh on 30k a year off the money we the taxpayers pay in and wanting more! I am in favour of Immigration to the UK as I see it is realistically needed, but I believe in limits, a points based system similar to australia would be a good idea. I believe in putting money back into our military which has suffered poorer and poorer funding under consecutive Labour governments. Criminals should serve full terms and not be let out when deemed "safe" by wishy washy liberal parole boards. People in society need to learn to respect eachother and behave as resonsible individuals if they wish to be treated such. Antisocial teenagers should be subject to corporal punishment. Severe criminals such as Child Molesters and Rapists should not be allowed out of prison, ever. I believe noone should be judged or persecuted on base of Colour, creed and sexuality but I believe people should not flaunt sexuality as it should be a deeply personal thing. I am broadly secularist in my attitude to government, religion should not involve itself in politics.

Picture of the day

Sojourner Truth, born Isabella Baumfree, (c. 1797 – 1883) was an American abolitionist and activist for African-American civil rights, women's rights, and alcohol temperance. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. This cabinet card of Truth was produced in around 1864, and is now in the collection of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden

Civic reception for Notts County after their 2009–10 League Two victory

During the 2009–10 English football season, Notts County F.C. competed in Football League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system. Shortly before the season began, Notts County was subject to a high-profile takeover by Munto Finance, which was controlled by a convicted fraudster. The club had been acquired as part of an elaborate scheme to list a fake mining company on the stock exchange. The scheme collapsed and Notts County was left deeply in debt. A further takeover prevented bankruptcy and saw the team winning the League Two championship (reception pictured) and being promoted to Football League One. The team also fared well in the FA Cup, reaching the last sixteen of the competition. The season saw four different owners, three permanent first-team managers and two spells of interim management. In total, the team played 54 competitive matches, winning 31, drawing 14 and losing 9. Notts County continued to experience off-field problems and the team were relegated to non-League football in 2019. (Full article...)
