Shock and ‘awfulness’

  A quick one as time limited….this morning we heard on Nicky Campbell that Leave voters, and Trump voters, and no doubt Italian voters as well, were ‘clinging on to political solutions that  have nothing to do with their problems…and it could all lead to the 1930’s again’.  Yep…they’re all stupid, ignorant racists harping  back to some golden age that is not only unachievable but leading us back to the … Continue reading

Vague Hague

“This is a burning building you are never meant to leave. What is more, you are barricaded in.”  William Hague December 2016   Trust…always been a bit of a problem with politicians…and journalists…nothing new about the ‘post-fact’ age except the fancy new name….’post-fact’ being a lie in itself ironically. Wiliam Hague…a man who made a career out of Euroscepticism, who then jumped ship and announced he was voting to Remain … Continue reading

    The new, and laughable, narrative from the Establishment anti-Brexit cabal is that they are now the insurgents…that’s right…all those senior politicians, the most powerful media organisations, billionaires, lawyers and academics….the new insurgents.  All routed it might be said by one bloke with a pint pot, a fag and a great disrespect for that unruly mob of the High and Mighty. I might also suggest that rather than being … Continue reading

Is Castro really dead or is it an Alt-Right Fake News Joke?

          ‘The Guardian has admitted that a rogue reporter fabricated interviews in articles for the newspaper and falsely claimed to have been present at events he wrote about. Joseph Mayton, a freelance who has been writing for the Guardian since 2009, has been accused of making up quotes in some of his stories, even filing interviews with people who later said they had never spoken to him.’ … Continue reading

Pulling the tarpaulin over our eyes

Another day and another sneak attack on our consciences trying to make us think of the terrible plight of refugees, to open our hearts and open the borders.
