Are we living in a kleptocracy – yes we are!

As I wrote this piece the toxic adviser of our great leader, plus his mate, was booted out of Number 10 in a cloud of acrimony and fisticuffs. But I am not going down that rabbit hole – yet. Because that actually is a side show. Yes, despite this news,

Brexit – the latest developments

What news now of the last few weeks of negotiation before the end of our transition period on 31 December 2020?  Well, all I can say is that there’s a lot of, he said, she said, they said, going on with one side (the UK) saying on Friday (16th), that’s

Are we in a FUBAR situation?

Since my last post I’ve been saying to myself that I can’t possibly write a response to the government’s stance on Brexit or Covid as there are actions this government has taken that make most sane people do a double take, and in particular I note the corruption of this

The elephant in the room

I have two drafts for this blog, both begun weeks ago, waiting to be finished. They are structured and I have all the evidence and the ideas. On what, you might ask?  On our hopeless government and its incompetence in dealing with the Covid pandemic, of course. With these, as
