Handbag Hammond’s Budget Backhanders

IrasciBill1
Well it has been a funny old week in British politics, unless of course you were unfortunate enough to hear Philip Hammond's budget funnies. His budget made as much sense as a Louise Mensch Sunday Politics interview,.. and she makes David Icke appear rational. So as the wheels fell off the budget, and 'Spreadshit' Phil became as popular with Tory backbenchers as Douglas Carswell at a Nigel Farage dinner, the

The Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn – a reply to Owen Jones by Tom London

Precariat, which Wiki defines as “In sociology and economics, the precariat is a social class formed by people suffering from precarity, which is a condition of existence without predictability or security, affecting material or psychological welfare.” This class has been tagged as “The New Dangerous Class”, in the blog Working Class perspectives, which appeared in October 2014, just as the book entitled A

More Awesome Trump Quotes

Lord Fuzztone0
Donald Trump, the Euro American immigrant from German and Scottish ancestory is at it again. His eloquence and command of the English language knows no bounds as he stated "Listen you mother fucker, we're going to tax you 25 percent" (regarding exports to China). Perhaps someone should mention that his signature clothing line is manufactured in China so that the greedy prick can cut costs.
