    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As each day dawns, we read more and more propaganda from all sorts of right-wing sources about how the NHS is failing and can only continue in the future if private enterprise is allowed to cherry-pick those parts from which the most lucrative profits can be achieved. This is simply an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If only such a species existed in the UK! Sadly, they all attended the same schools as the tory cabinet and 1922 committee, belong to the same exclusive clubs and masonic lodges, sit around the same tables at dinner parties and are invited to the same grouse shoots and hunts. They interbreed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Office of National Statistics today reveals that inflation has now overtaken earnings, meaning a Brexit pay squeeze for millions of hard working families. At this General Election, we must deny the Government a blank cheque on hard 'Brexit' unless you are absolutely certain that we are all...

    The two political imbeciles photoshopped into this pic are responsible for the NHS being so starved of funds that the computer systems were so badly out of date rendering them an easy target for the kind of geeks who do such things....just because they can. This morning, in my life, two...

    Today is the 65th birthday of this creature with a drink-driving conviction to his name, besides being proved to be a parliamentary expenses cheat. He is also the despicable, war-mongering UK Defence Secretary in Mrs May's 'Strong and stable' cabinet. I give you - The Right Honourable Sir...
