The UK’s threat to the EU of a ‘No Deal’ BREXIT – has it suddenly become ‘real’?

by

The official campaign in favour of leaving the European Union in the 2016 Referendum   It is a well know fact that Theresa May, while pretending to the British public that her view was that “No Deal is better than a Bad Deal”, at no stage ever attempted to threaten the EU with a no-deal […]

Scottish Independence ‘its all over now’ – OR is it?

by

  Anyone who thinks that the turmoil of the past month on Scottish Independence was over on Friday 19th September 2014, has another think coming, surely? The fallout (in more than one sense of the word!) from the Referendum campaign, we can dread, is going to be felt far and wide for a considerable time? […]

The scaredy-cat Scots have flunked it – GOOD or BAD?

by

  Well at last the cat is out of the bag, as the saying goes. And it turns out to be a big scaredy-cat at that, doesn’t it? The timid Scottish nation (well the ‘stay-at-homers’, the ones without the nous to flee the nest like the majority of Scots), plus the foreign de-campers and squatters, […]

If Scotland votes to go ‘INDEPENDENT’, some people are culpable surely –what names are in the frame?

by

    There can be no doubt now that the question of Scottish Independence has been handled abysmally by both those in charge of the UK’s Union destiny and by some others who will carry onerous responsibility for the outcome. The opinion polls have shown that the YESs and NOs are sharing the same ground […]

Scots Independence YES campaign ‘On the Ropes’ – misinformation peddled by the NOs?

by

    The Polls are providing ‘wobbling’ results for the Referendum. Why is that? It is because the ‘don’t knows’ are unaccounted for, different polls always give disparaging results and critically also both sides are running neck & neck so the differences are well within the normal margins of error – the vote is too […]

Scottish Independence ‘Better Together’s’ crash – who’s Fault?

by

    The Better Together campaign is stumbling towards failure and could be more accurately renamed as Better Apart.

How the heck has […]

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister Tony Blair – who do you despise the Most?

by

Our Labour ex PM Tony Blair (ten years from 1997) is in the news again – pontificating on the current crisis in Iraq. What he has to say may well be valuable and right – but who wants to listen to him these days? Do you? Can any of us trust a word that comes […]

Labour cannot be trusted to run the British economy, so say the Tories – how about the Conservatives themselves then?

by

  Tory Norman Lamont is often trotted out to pontificate on a national financial matter – which is a massive surprise to many older people.
