Who cares?

Dave Middleton0
Mahmatma Ghandi once famously said “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” By that measure a society that allows its most vulnerable members to be treated without respect must be judged fairly badly. Imagine this scenario. Some will not need to imagine as they are likely to be living it. You are a married (or cohabiting) couple who have been together for

Deep State? What Deep State?

Matthew Angst2
From a new contributor; Matthew Angst "I heard Matthews heartfelt plea from right across the Twittersphere and thought he needed a bit of support" Tony Broomfield   "I think we need to stop beating about the bush and call a spade a spade.

Transforming Democracy

Dave Middleton0
  Last week a Twitter user called @Posh_Jock made what at the time I thought was a flippant remark. “ I was just wondering........would you consider running the country for us?......please..pretty please ”.

The Cummings Storm

Dave Middleton0
Dominic Cummings is the story of the week. There is little doubt about that, but what have we really learned apart from the fact that Cummings is not the sort of person you should have as a friend. His revelations that Number 10 was a mess and had no plan for how to deal with the pandemic seem to have come as a massive shock to journalists, who whilst enjoying

The History of Oil

Lord Fuzztone0
Robert Newman's comedic historic portrayal of the history of oil. Fact is stranger than fiction. Explains why America wishes to bring "democracy" to the Middle East and that WWI should be taught about the war for Iraq not Archduke Ferdinand & the coup in Iran when the secular democracy became a dictatorship for the interests of British Petroleum using the CIA.

Who do we not save?

Turings Revenge0
It’s a question that I am sure has been asked many times before. It’s a question that may even be reasonable yet brings instant anger. It’s a question that shows us just how unprepared they were. It’s a question governments and societies have been asking since the beginning of time. The question has no answer on this sorry whiteboard because there is no answer that can be acceptable Those in
