The Day “Politics” Died
Several years ago, I had the flu and I was lying on the couch watching “daytime” TV…Oprah Winfrey and her guest Dr Phil. Not the kinda show I would normally watch. Dr Phil said something that made an impression on … Continue reading
The Great Pension Rip-Off
To be honest, I wont gain or lose anything, whatever the result of the EU Referendum. But I am bemused that people on the REMAIN side are telling me that my children and grandchildren will be worse off. This may … Continue reading
“Gentler” Politics?
One of the narratives to emerge from the murder of Jo Cox MP on Thursday has been the widespread call for Politics to be less confrontational…more respectful…kinder. Certainly the line put out by journalists who inhabit the same Westminster village … Continue reading

The EU Referendum Campaign has turned nasty. Essentially it was always going to be HEAD (Remain) versus HEART (Leave), ECONOMICS (Remain) versus EMOTION (Leave). And lets be honest the Brexiteers do themselves few favours by coming across as a very … Continue reading
EU Referendum: A Voter’s Guide
1…This whole referendum was little more than a tactic to keep the Conservative Party united and to stop defections of voters and Tory members to UKIP. Yes ….so I should probably abstain. 2…Cameron won the 2015 Election on the basis … Continue reading
So…EU Referendum
Lest we forget…we all go back to the polling stations in just six weeks to vote on whether the “United Kingdom” should leave the “European Union”. At this point in time, I am undecided but the other five adult members … Continue reading
