Life in 21st century Britain under a tory government....... So true for so many! Tom

With respect, the post was devolved a long time ago from being the responsibility of the UK Home Secretary to the specifically-created post of Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the current incumbent being one, Karen Bradley, the history of whom is something with which I'm sure we're all...

£1billion seems to ensure the status quo remains, indeed the PM has dashed across to NI on hearing the little bit of progress that rumour informs us has occurred, so she can grab some political kudos if the Stormont government should be re-established. One of many acts by May born out of...

I'm reminded of my mum, bless her soul, who invariably put her nationality down on any official forms requiring it, as 'Ulster Scot'. When I once challenged her about that, in the sure knowledge that her answer wasn't a recognised nationality, she rebuked me, saying, 'It's my nationality - born...

'Brexit' seems to be looking increasingly like a form of purgatory, self-inflicted on everyone in the UK by those who support the extreme-right and voted to leave the EU for all the worst reasons imaginable. It has become clearer the longer this whole charade about negotiations drags on that...

Proof, if proof were needed, is contained in this squirm-inducing interview with a well-placed government spokesman: Tom

Back to the matter of tory corruption and how it has manifested itself recently in the case of their preferred partner in many projects, it came about something like this: (Borrowed from a chum..) Three contractors are bidding to refurbish the fence at 10 Downing street. One is from Birmingham...

I don't know about dealbreaker but it really will be heartbreaking for millions in the UK if we are forced to continue producing such classics as 'Boom bang a bang', 'Sing little birdie' or 'Jack in the box'. The only potentially good news I can see in 'Brexit' is that we might be...

At long last, the temporary führer leader of the fascist mass murdering hordes tory party has come clean about the effect 'Brexit' will have upon different areas of the UK: Tom:(

This is the here and now: And this is the future post-'Brexit': Tom
