David Cameron

It’s Boris

Was anyone surprised. No. Although when I watched the result there was Hunt with a smile on his face that looked quite genuine, and then there was Boris in an ill-fitting suit looking his usual scruffy and rumpled self, but slightly solemn. For a moment I thought…..! But no. I’ll come back

Brexit – a glossary

I’ve just read a brilliant A-Z of Brexit, which I can’t replicate because it’s been done. However, I do like to unpick definitions, so instead of a longer piece on the current situation around Brexit here is a little something based on the words and phrases used so often in this

English Exceptionalism and the EU

At the beginning of the year I did a course on The Other America, which was based around the book A People’s History of the United Sates written by Howard Zinn.  I don’t know if Zinn is a name that’s easily recognised in the States, but our tutor (American, btw)

A Song for Europe – Part 2 Why people voted the way they did.

Events, events – we now have the Chilcot Enquiry report on Iraq to contend with.  And I have to say that the sight of Uriah Heep grovelling on the television and kind of saying ‘awfully sorry’ (and I repeat, kind of) with a trembling voice is more than I can

Who Sang A Song for Europe? Part 1 – the events

You know I said in my post about Jo Cox (funny how she’s dropped out of the media) it’s really important not to dehumanise groups of people and despise them.  And re: our politicians, I’m trying, I’m trying.  But it’s been a difficult and eventful week.  Who was it who said,
