I Will Cry For You Venezuela

Tony Broomfield0
The underlying problem In 2007, John Pilger made a documentary called War On Democracy  covering several S. American nations but including Venezuela in particular. If you have 90 minutes to spare I thoroughly recommend it. As usual, he really gets to the heart of the matter. Throughout this piece, I will link to specific clips from the film so that you can access the relevant detail even if you don’t

Question Time

Mike Bell0
Heating the piled politics to a thick lathered buzz - Question Time's audience is a scream-streamed TX Almost over directed for a hyped-up reception - Our screens are re-tuned to TV's deception Below the radar into our licensed homes - finding the softest - in our sofa-slumped zones - Some people will toss their floating votes - they'll re-tune held views via the set-top box to long-lost frequencies of old-school

No Confidence

Mike Bell1
The Mother of Parliaments emits a low groan - her confidence shot - as our distrust grows We smell the foul essence worn by the rich - it's the stench of the moneyed on the front bench The PM frowns as her voice thins and strains - repeating her mantras - again and again The deceits are disclosed in emotional stories of neglect and fear under the Tories those perfidious

Tory reports go missing again

Tony Broomfield0
Each headline is a link to the MSM article concerned, because you cannot just make this stuff up and I just wanted to prove it to you August 2014 CONSERVATIVES SECRETLY PLAN TWO NEW GARDEN CITIES Supposed to relieve housing shortages in London and home-counties (and possibly a good way to use up all that lovely surplus land local tory politicians have been buying up over the last 10 years).

Brexitrage

Bloemenstein Whistlehuizen0
I am furious about Brexit, I am incandescent with rage and have been for months now and it is a fury driven by many different reasons.  I am not furious at the people who voted to leave the EU, I fully understand why they voted that way, what I am furious at is being manipulated by politicians working solely for their own personal gain and this is an attempt to

The Birth of BrExit

Tony Broomfield4
In 1997, Liam Fox founded a Think Tank called Atlantic Bridge under the patronage of Margaret Thatcher Liam Fox is on record stating that Atlantic Bridge  had been created to “Defend people of common interests from European Integrationists who would like to pull Britain away from its relationship with the United States”. So not exactly big fans of the Union of Europe even 20 years ago, but great fans of

The History of Grenfell

Tony Broomfield0
Introduction If I hadn’t lived through the past 60 years, I would not have believed what has taken place in world politics during the last 25 years. Every day I wake up and look around and see the likes of Trump; Rees-Mogg; Bannon; Hopkins; May; Johnson; Farage; Koch Bros; Mercer; Gove; The 3 x disgraced Liam Fox; Alan Sugar; and John Paul Watson slathered all over the Press, TV and

The British Drea (Sic)

Lord Fuzztone0
In keeping with the traditions of the great "British sense of humour", an awesome website popped up the very same day as Theresa Mays disastrous hilarious party conference speech. If we can make jokes, albeit in very poor taste, about the holocaust and the collapse of the twin towers, I'm bloody sure that the grey lizard lady and her sociopathic, inbred, cheap suited leeches are fair game. Just when we thought

Donald Drug Seizure

Lord Fuzztone0
Around 5,000 ecstasy tablets in the shape of Donald Trump's head (fake tan in colour no less) and a stash of cash, have been seized by the German Polizei. (Who said Donald wasn't doing anything for the economy and small businesses). They report the drugs were confiscated over the weekend and an Austrian father and son have been arrested. To me, that sounds like an awesome father-son relationship. They both clearly
