I’ve just read a brilliant A-Z of Brexit, which I can’t replicate because it’s been done. However, I do like to unpick definitions, so instead of a longer piece on the current situation around Brexit here is a little something based on the words and phrases used so often in …
Russia, Syria and everything else connected thereof
I’m writing here about Russia and will touch on current events in Syria as well. To do this I’ve abandoned a piece on the EU I’ve been writing on and off for a month, but interesting how it isn’t really a thing at the moment. Instead our media has been …
The Corbyn phenomenon – what happened and why.
Apologies, I’m a bit behind with these blog posts, but here’s a short blast on the results of the recent British General Election.
Goodness. What an upset. The predictions were that Corbyn and the Labour party would be slaughtered with Theresa May increasing her majority by at least 52 with …
The British General Election: A sit rep
Instead of the usual, nothing much to report, events in the UK are moving quite speedily in this fair land.
Indeed, quite a lot has been happening. And, first of all, I want to say that regarding the tragedy in Manchester, I commend you to read George Monbiot’s recent article…
Over the cliff we go
It’s happened, Article 50 is initiated. And the long walk to the political suicide of a nation has begun. Well, by long walk, I mean it depends whether you think that two years from now we’ll have a trade agreement, and everything that we wanted to be ‘in control of’ …
The cultural revolution that’s just occurred – within which I’ve lost my identity
This is another situation report written as an overview for those of you who don’t get the detail on Brexit from their media that we do in the UK. And, just like the last post there has been a great deal of activity, with many accompanying articles in the press, …
Our Executive has just had a smack in the face from not a European court but a British court – good.
Well, well, well. I had a half written post for you on Brexit, which would have been my usual caustic look at the somewhat chaotic approach that this government has to Brexit. As in, one moment it’s going to be a Hard Brexit (week before last) and the next it’s …
Corbyn and the political tribes of the not-particularly-United Kingdom
Whilst I was away in France I began a post, but by the time I got back it was well out-of-date as political events in the UK continue to move both slowly (our actual exit from the EU) and fairly fast (what people say about our exit).
Before I get …
What are we doing now in the Brexit window of opportunity? The answer is very little.
I hear from a friend in Australia that everyone she knows of British origin is pleased at the outcome of our Referendum – hmm. Is that because they moved away from the UK to get away from that awful Europe thing across the Channel? And wow, the Brits have voted …
What’s with Labour and the Tories?
And for my fortnightly look at UK politics, what do I have to report? You’d think it would be all about Labour – as they’re the ones constantly in the media. But the Tory party is sure to be having some fearsome fisticuffs right now. You absolutely bet it is. …
