Brexit – No Extension, No Deal?
Here’s a thing to think about if your brain has any Brexit capacity left. You will need to use your imagination a bit and also consider that Boris Johnson is a reckless character. Also, please just take this as an unlikely scenario but where Johnson is concerned, it is a scenario that shouldn’t be written off entirely. We know that Dominic Cummings has always wanted a ‘No Deal’ and that he has convinced Boris Johnson of this ideolo...
A Trip to Lancaster and the Lakes
If Jennifer’s son, Ethan, hadn’t gone to Lancaster University, it is doubtful I would have ever visited Lancaster and the Lake District. I am not sure why I have never been to that area, but I do remember a TV series in the mid 1990’s called ‘The Lakes’.

I went to an Indian restaurant last week and someone asked me if it was any good. I said, “yeah it was okay”. They replied, “So it was shit then?”Eh? I said it was okay? We live in a world where okay is shit and something is only worth watching or eating if it is ...
The Tory Populist Bullshit that the Proles Believe!
I’ve got to admit that if these Boris Johnson Tories weren’t so dangerous, it would be funny. They just can’t stop lying. They are even brazen enough to have a stand at their conference advertising The Cayman Islands (the famous tax avoidance place to the west of Cuba). The fact that the average proletarian hasn’t worked out that Brexit is all about rich people making lots of money then avoiding paying tax on it, is a damning ...
