Cast your mind back almost a year, when the Voice of Albion had only just emerged from the ether of creation, and you will recall a story whereby David Laws, the shining star of the Liberal Democrat ranks and co-conspirator in the coalition stitch-up, was caught almost literally with the waistband of his jeans around his ankles, paying money to his partner and pretending not to be fleecing the public purse in the commission.  Recently, the case was finally dragged before ...

There are many forms behind great artistic endeavour.  Some artists like to give a sense of beauty, some to elucidate, some to provoke, some to downright shock you out of your complacency.  There are a few who ape past masters and past genres, hoping, perhaps, to draw inspiration from them, and there are others who think that a copy, be it a slavish facsimile or a light homage, is sacriledge to the originalist principles of the hallowed halls of art. We will, ...

On the eve of a referendum to determine how members are elected to the Lower Chamber at the Palace of Westminster, startling revelations have come to light that some Members of Parliament aren't interested in democracy at all. The Voice of Albion has infiltrated an organisation calling itself Unite Against Fascism, effectively a militia which casts itself against anything we are persuaded is distasteful.  Its aims, as far as its title goes, are to root out fascism - but given that the ...

The Voice of Albion has learnt that today's children are not being grounded in the fundamentals.  This is wrong. For sure, any child nowadays can tell you what FaceMyTweebo is doing, and how to hack into the computers at the Pentagon, and all but the most unworldly can write a program to take David Cameron and his merry men to the Moon.  But what happens when the computer breaks down? All human life, apparently, will cease. We have become over-reliant on computers, and indeed ...

A top Whitehall aide, who asked not to be identified, has accused the Government of actions "tantamount to paedophilia". These actions, claim the aide, are not solely those of the Coalition - indeed, they stem back "at least a decade" - and they are not actions specifically condoned by the majority of ministers in the House.  Yet through ministerial inaction and the consequences of both written and unwritten rules, the lives of many children have been blighted, and their families ripped apart. The ...

What is culture? This is something which many will have an opinion on, but at the Voice of Albion, we stand by the assertion that at its basis, culture rests on what people do in an area to, perhaps, survive in that area.  Perhaps it incorporates what they do to thrive in that area, what activities are pertinent to that living are, essentially, part of the culture. This is why multi-culturalism is a myth, and a dangerous one at that. The Jews and the ...

Everyone is prone to the odd emotional twist now and again - the logical spin which puts more nuance onto a word or phrase than it is usually meant to bear.  Everyone - whether they have been trained or not - uses rhetorical devices to make their utterances more interesting, or to more effectively get the thought formed in their own mind as wholly as possible into the mind of their audience. For some, however, such devices are divisive.  They are tools ...

When we're stuffed with Christmas goose and chuffed with the material largesse of our nearest and dearest, it is easy to forget the original meaning of this festive period - and for many, any reminder of that original meaning is an unwelcome intrusion into what they see as a season of pure hedonism. But the reason is important; very important.  And it is more obscure than people might care to think.  For the reason for the season is not, as the cleverly ...

Shock news today comes from Tripoli, where Jose Manuel Barroso stated his wish for the entire continent of Africa to unite in the Euro-zone by 2050. Commentators are calling the unprecedented move insane.  Africa is a different continent to the one of which Europe forms part, and they have different practices.  Most of Africa is riven by corruption, which means that while the rest of the world has seen some measure of growth at least in the last few decades, the fortunes ...

The chamber of the House of Commons, with its bovine utterances, its unruly playground gibes and its Punch & Judy, knock-about nature, has never been the most dignified of places.  But even it would never knowingly stoop to the depths allegedly visited by Phil Woolas, until recently immigration minister and member for Oldham East and Saddleworth, and before him Prime Minister Tony Blair. Lying. Blair, the slithering snake, has slipped the net formed by the obvious untruth of the 45-minutes-to-destruction claim made of Saddam ...
