Hey Boris

Hey Boris Hey Boris, I hope you don’t mind me getting in touch, but I see you’ve been getting into a bit of bother lately with all of this Prime Ministery stuff.  I’m still amazed that all of your old school chums pulled this prank on you, to shoe you in as Prime Minister just when… Read More »

A week or so ago, a friend asked me whether this was the end of the world?  Seemed to be a quite amusing question at the time, but in retrospect, it did make me think.  But no, I don’t think 2020 is the end of the world; we haven’t reached the ‘off to hell in a handcart’… Read More »

“Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.” Woodie Guthrie “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”. Albert Einstein Conclusion: our Prime Minister is not a genius, but is insane.

Great Britain Ltd?

Was there ever a time when politics and politicians felt as totally and collectively incompetent as our current elected representatives?   Locked in divisive and failed ideologies, unwilling to change, intent only on, or bound by polarized party agendas that are out of touch with reality, and which ignore the basic principles of democracy.  For decades we have… Read More »
