By admin, on April 3rd, 2019 Day by day as the Brexit farce unfolds, as mere citizens we can only sit back in wonder at the sheer levels of incompetence of our elected representatives as they drive us towards some form of political Armageddon. Their complete and utter failure to understand what their responsibility was, based on the result of the Brexit referendum, beggars belief. Collectively they have presented themselves as self-opinionated, self-serving and self-promoting failures, whose only allegiance is to their decrepit political parties. Who knows what awaits us, but if somehow we escape this absolute farce, maybe, just maybe, there’s a minuscule hope that they could learn that adversarial, party-centric politics is not the solution to anything: it’s the problem.

Conclusion: our Prime Minister is not a genius, but is insane.

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 been increasingly treated by successive governments as clients, rather than citizens, subjected to agendas that feed the establishment and drive inequality, austerity, extreme poverty, and allow the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
No doubt, there are honest, caring and wel meaning members of parliament, but the established processes afford them little or no degrees of freedom to act as representatives. Anyone . . . → Read More: Great Britain Ltd?

It’s all ugly, it’s all bad, and the good? Well, John Crace gets the award. His regular column in the Guardian provides the only glimmer of sanity as the Ship of Fools heads blindly towards the Euro-iceberg, with dear Theresa thrusting gloriously from the bows, peering into the abyss, whilst the rest of her crew are busy re-arranging the deck chairs.
Read John Crace’s latest insight: A night to remember– never mind about custom unions, backstops and amendments; enjoy, instead, a match made in therapy.

The Houses of Parliament: the museum of British politics – a crumbling edifice, home to a crumbling government, devoid of responsibility, devoid of leadership, and devoid of respect. When was the last time our government did anything to make us feel proud to be British?
By admin, on September 2nd, 2016 Sport and politics – an uncomfortable partnership: one has the ability to excite and inspire, the other the the ability to depress and confuse, but which?
This summer in the UK has been dominated by two major news items – the Brexit vote, which has left us all confused and frustrated, and in Rio, a remarkably successful performance by Team GB in the 2016 Olympic Games.
Brexit delivered an unexpected result, which we are trying to come to terms with. The outcome is generating all manner of speculation, doom-mongering and negativity. There’s a good few column inches devoted to analysing the result, and the emerging consensus suggests that the vote reflected an opportunity for the electorate to express an unprecedented . . . → Read More: The Summer of 2016: Brexit and Rio
