Jam Tomorrow but No Jam Today

November 17th, 2022. The only chance the conservatives have electorally is if the electorate thinks that the measures are fair and the pain is shared. It is 2 budgets in one, 1 for today’s issues and one for election year 2025. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) needed to

Truth in Advertising Is Not Allowed

Truth in advertising is officially forbidden in Britain, now, if it ‘offends’ someone. Which should be no surprise, really: Britain has banned and criminalised the truth for years. You’re not allowed to tell the truth about Islamic terror, and you’re certainly not allowed to tell the truth about

Sunak Finds the Going Tough

November 3rd 2022. I occasionally compare the UK to Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the looking glass. I can’t do that anymore as real life in the UK surpasses satire. We have had over 40,000 people arrive by boat on the Southern Coast. I hesitate to select

We Should Be So Lucky!

A few years ago I took part in an online discussion with various political junkies, mostly psephologists from British universities including a couple of well known ‘election experts’ from Nuffield College, Oxford, and I gained a certain reputation when I pointed out where they were mistaken.
