Brexit & How The USA Come Into Play
I wonder how many people who voted Brexit knew that at some point during all the lies and propaganda, the USA would come into play. There is a long and strong ancestral link between the US and Ireland; America, you may remember, played a major role in the peace agreement. If the UK government break the law with regards to their ‘Oven Ready’ Brexit deal and destabilise peace in Ireland, then ladies, and gentlemen, we have a problem. ...
U Turns and Jobs For the Boys!
Amongst all the talk of twelve U-turns by our hopeless government over the last few months, something has been missed. As much as the hopelessness of the government U-Turns needs to be highlighted by the opposition, something else, in my opinion, is even more important. It is this.

And ...

The Abbott’s Mitre
I don’t know about everyone else, but the more I learn to cook at home, the worse pub food seems. Let’s face it, £13.00 for a chicken burger featuring a bit of salad and some mayo, washed down with a £9.00 glass of wine, is not good value. So, it makes a pleasant change to write a gushing Blog about The Abbott’s Mitre in Chilbolton. I go in there about once a week at the most, with the dog. I get a meal for about a tenner, and a ...
