November 16th 2023 After a nuclear explosion, fallout ensues and the aftermath of the Suella Braverman sacking is no exception. Within 48 hours the UK Supreme Court had decided that the proposal to send Asylum Seekers to Rwanda was illegal. Two hours after that decision was reached Rishi Sunak was
November 14th 2023 Suella Braverman, Ex Home Secretary published her letter of response to having been sacked by Rishi Sunak yesterday. It contained many home truths and resonated with the electorate. It confirmed what many people have been thinking about Sunak and I make no apologies for inserting Braverman’s
November 13th 2023 Remembrance weekend has come and gone. The main demonstration, although riddled with vile posters and banners and a minority (a big minority!) chanting antisemitic phrases, passed mostly without serious incident. There was a last-minute anti-protest protest march which resulted in over one hundred arrests as they approached
November 10th 2023 As Remembrance Day approaches, the UK is becoming riddled with dissent and conflict from various groups. The UK is awash with these demonstrations, ostensibly in support of the innocent victims of Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip. If one looks at them closely you can see the
October 30th 2023 I left my last letter with questions regarding international law and how it applies to the Middle Eastern situation. The first tricky question is: Who makes international law? The second one is: To whom does it apply? If there is such a thing as international law, what
There is a lot of talk about various issues relating to the Israeli/Hamas war that I will try to address here. I will attempt wherever possible to steer clear of opinions and refer to facts. I shall start by looking at some history. The problem with this (as with
October 11th, 2023 As the days pass after the horrific slaughter of the Israeli civilians questions are being raised about who was involved and who was behind the grim actions. In my previous letter, I commented on the possible involvement of Iran and Russia. Since then, I have spoken with
October 10th, 2023 In a bit of a departure for me, I am going to comment on non-UK happenings and offer some opinions rather than my usual objective comments in my letters. The Gaza incursion was an act of unbelievable barbarism and will require high degrees of diplomatic skill to
October 8th, 2023 Recent letters from me have referred to the UK as “Batshit Bonkers Britain”. Thanks Katie Hopkins. Just to emphasise that description, Acer Ecology has issued a handy guide to the bat droppings of the UK. One can now identify the species of bat responsible for the profusion
September 18th, 2023 Derbyshire County Council now looks as though it is going to trigger a section 114 action as their finances are in a dire state. It is now becoming commonplace to hear about the financial problems in local government. Of course, it is not due to the incompetence
Following on from my recent letter the escapee from Wandsworth prison has been recaptured. He was charged off a bicycle near the canal in Northolt, west London by a plain clothes police officer, from the anti-terrorism unit. In the aftermath of the recapture two prison officers have been suspended and
September 5th, 2023 The UK really is becoming depressing, with Rishi Sunak constantly demonstrating that even though he has a brain the size of a planet, he doesn’t understand the planet that we live on. He continuously comes across as aloof and distanced. Last week my little town was
August 30th, 2023 In the latest figures, Cornwall emerges as the poorest region of England. House prices are high, being inflated by second homeowners and Airbnb. Airbnb records 20,688 active rentals in 2022 and this, along with the demand for second homes, has inflated property prices throughout the county.
August 16th 2023 In a photo op today, Rishi Sunak was filmed assuring a crowd of people that everything was going according to plan (what plan? his famous 5 points are a wish list, not a plan). He uttered the following phrase which usually loses all credibility with the electorate
July 31st 2023 In one of my previous letters, I made passing references to the UK NHS system. It is difficult to believe some of the happenings that occur in the NHS. One has to be careful criticising the NHS in the UK as it has achieved the status of
July 25th 2023 In Scotland, it was revealed that the SNP government has been responsible for cutting down nearly 16,000,000 trees to clear ground for wind farms. Estimations suggest around 15.7 million trees have been cut down since 2000, the equivalent of 1,700 per day. Scots
