Reh Chishti’s Christmas Party
Posted by Alan Collins on Sunday, December 17th, 2006 at 21:21

Yesterday (Saturday 16th December), I went to a Christmas Party hosted by Cllr Rehman Chishti at the Hessenthaler Suite, Priestfield.

I feel as though it must have cost poor Reh a fortune for hiring out the suite for the evening, as well as the food and drinks he paid Priestfield for, however it was a very worthwhile experience.

Parents need greater sovereignty over their children
Posted by Alan Collins on Thursday, December 14th, 2006 at 20:10

One of the debates at the Conservative Conference in October posed the question: “Is Jamie Oliver a National Hero?” My answer is no!

I’m not saying that we should neglect the needs of our Children in order to lead a healthy lifestyle, to the contrary, in today’’s society, rich with tempting Double Cheeseburgers, Large Fries and Diet Cokes, children need to be taught how to eat a healthy, but varied diet. And that is not a job for an interfering TV chef who does not the children he is “protecting”.

New Domain Name and E-Mail Address
Posted by Alan Collins on Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 at 16:40

It’’s taken time, but the domain name that I registered at the weekend can now reach this site via URL redirect.

I am trying to change registrar so that the site will have a proper URL, not just redirection, but for now it works just fine.

The new domain name is http://www.alan-collins.co.uk (you must have the www. at the beginning otherwise it won”t work), and my new e-mail address is alan@alan-collins.co.uk.

Britain must begin to fight if we are to win War on Terror
Posted by Alan Collins on Tuesday, December 12th, 2006 at 19:13

Honourary Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller presented the United Kingdom with a stark realisation last month when she declared that her staff:

Roughly 2,800 of them (an increase of almost 50% since 9/11, 25% under 30, over 6% from ethnic minorities, with 52 languages, with links to well over 100 services worldwide), are working very hard, at some cost to their private lives and in some cases their safety, to do their utmost to collect the intelligence we need.

These are the few, the hard workers who dedicate their lives to protecting their country. However, due to the nature of their work, they often go unnoticed, and, perhaps slightly more worryingly, are the sole intelligence gatherers charged with protecting a nation of 60 million people.

Hello there and welcome to my Political Notes blog.

I shall also, eventually, be adding pages, including links to my favourite articles from the Daily Telegraph, Boris Johnson MP, or indeed anyone else that I may come across during my time on the internet.
