There was a time when Labour could have, along with other opposition parties, voted to keep free movement alive, or get a second referendum that may have kept the UK in the EU. That time has passed. If Labour are to succeed now, the they must not support freedom of movement. They must accept the … Continue reading Labour’s Dilemma
Stop Voting for Idiots!
Certainly a leader's ideology matters, as do their policies. But we must not forget the importance of intelligence. People who are not capable of the challenge of leading a country should not be in charge. The fact that someone as thoughtless, incoherent and delusional as Donald Trump ss the president of the United States is … Continue reading Stop Voting for Idiots!
The Devilish Mr Cummings
(fiction) Ah, Mr Cummings. I must confess, my dear reader, a certain level of admiration for our neoteric inquisitor. He has - unbelievably I know - been in post a mere one hundred and seventy-three days.

Boris Johnson’s Path to a Majority
Hope drives all sorts of things - belief in God, belief that tomorrow will be better than today, belief that there is a technological or policy solution to humanity's existential problems. It makes you see yourself at a far off future dinner party, telling your eager friends how you got that amazing job you always … Continue reading Boris Johnson’s Path to a Majority

Or did it dislike the feeling of uncertainty that all decision-making creatures have from time to time? Perhaps it was decision itself the creature did not like.

“I don’t want you to be happy.”
That's what he had said. In the dark. Close. Under the covers. His arm around my waist. His head on my hair. He breathes quietly. What is he dreaming? Fucking hell. "I don't want you to be happy."
