This is very close to being published or perhaps even closer to disappearing! 1837 About 35 years ago, I was liaising closely with some Diplomatic Protection Group officers (as was - since renamed) and a specialist child protection unit. It was widely known back then that Ted Heath was a...

For the benefit of those who think there is even a scintilla of truth remaining in the claims by 'Brexidiots' and and all the apologists for the fascist gang of Oligarchs and Plutocrats hell-bent on leading the UK into political and economic isolation, while at the same time diminishing the...

This is the current incompetent masquerading as Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. The description is chillingly accurate although I must confess I cannot confirm the tattoo she is reputed to have on her left breast. Tom

'It's a loada cobblers guv'nor! These people ain't got a scooby 'bout wot they're doin'!' I'm sure we've all heard similar sentiments recently. There is a word which beautifully describes that stuff that sometimes sticks to the sole of your shoe when you walk down a track frequently used by...

There's a little country keeps popping up in my mind which seems to do pretty well, come rain or shine........it's called Germany! Tom

Ok, if May is stepping into the mess at this stage, what then should we make of her appointees? Presumably, she is now going to tell the other side the way it really is and if they don't like it, there will be no deal. If not, what else can she have up her sleeve that hasn't already been...

May didn't really win the hearts and minds of the UN representatives in New York yesterday. If ever a measure was needed of how the UK's influence in world affairs has been diminished over recent times, May's appearance in front of delegates in NY certainly demonstrated how little the UK...

So, what does it matter if Rolls Royce cars are manufactured In Germany rather than in the UK? How can one put a price on something something so iconic when it's considered next to regaining British sovereignty and being free of EU control? Besides, we gave away RR years ago along with Jaguar...

It seems most people in the UK, (figures vary but every straw poll ever conducted has produced an overwhelming vote in favour of keeping the NHS rather than adopting the American system), wish to see our health service properly funded. The tories see profit-making opportunities in healthcare...

Some truths revealed: and now, here is a scale of 'Brexit' idiocy allowing the morons who voted to leave the EU to measure and determine exactly where they are in terms of utter stupidty.........http://inktank.fi/revealed-the-9-levels-of-leaver-expectations-about-brexit/ Tom

A different kind of politics altogether is what we need. The elite are terrified that socialism takes hold of the people's imagination causing them to elect a Corbyn-led government with an agenda to return our former nationalised utilities and services to public ownership. You see, the elite...

In case any reader of these pages hasn't been following the story of Amber Rudd's blatant contempt of court, take a read at The Guardian's account of the matter. The tories are repeatedly showing contempt for the law and parliamentary procedures, (remember the Gina Miller law suit?), and Rudd...

Harry Leslie Smith recognises the problem from which ordinary British people now suffer: Tom

I love this stingingly accurate social commentary in the form of tweets and simple imagery: Tom

I did wonder if any challenge to the tory bribery of the DUP would arise. The Guardian reported yesterday that Gina Miller has got her teeth into the matter but I'm concerned that opposition backbenchers haven't grasped the nettle on this issue...

The cyclist got 18 months. That sentence, in my opinion, will have zilch deterrent effect on the other moronic cyclists who think they can do as they please. Tom

It is becoming more and more ridiculous by the day - Brexit department head Oliver Robbins quits, throwing Government plans into chaos brexit-oliver-robbins-quits-department-permanent-secretary-eu-talks-theresa-may-david-davis-boris-a7952756.html Tom

Here's some good consumer advice from a tory propaganda peddler: Is arrogance the right word? Tom

British expats face 'cliff edge' in pensions and insurance after Brexit https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/18/british-expats-face-cliff-edge-in-pensions-and-insurance-after-brexit?CMP=share_btn_fb Tom

As the evil, fascist, tory government continues with its nonsensical drive towards withdrawing from the EU on behalf of the few plus the nation's simpletons, this still continues to happen to members of the public. If you voted tory....ever, you are responsible for this disgraceful behaviour...
