Brexit

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

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

What now?

Finally, there’s an election, but who will win?

What have we become?

I ask this question as we are living through extraordinary times and we need to be alert to the events that are happening right in front of our eyes.  And then there’s the question as to how Boris de Pfiffle is doing as the leader of the United Kingdom? Not

Is he the one?  Belief in the age of the unreal.

I started this piece weeks ago when it seemed a total certainty that our very own oaf Emperor and Trump-lookalike, would be crowned the leader of the Conservative Party, and consequently the leader of our nation. I’ve found it difficult to complete this piece as, like 50% of our nation,

After a brief respite things are hotting up

Hello again This is very much written for those of you overseas who might have heard a few things via your media about a new party emerging in the UK and sweeping to victory in the European elections. Well, yes, but see more below. First, let’s back-track a bit. If
