What Will Happen to Cameron?

Posted on April 15, 2021

When it was announced that Boris Johnson was to order an investigation into David Cameron and Lex Greensill, my first thought was this. “He’s going to throw Cameron under the bus!” Whilst this still could be the case, once you look deeper into who is conducting this enquiry, you realise it should really be a case for Ted Hastings and AC12 (as suggested by Keir Starmer at PMQ’s). Johnson answered questions about Greensill today by ...

The Enforcement of Joy and Grief

Posted on April 10, 2021

I was wondering today why I can’t seem to register any emotion when a royal event happens. I always find myself feeling awkward, bemused and irritated when excessive grief is foisted upon me.

I have been following, with interest, the issues with a vaccine roll out in Europe that is causing issues over there. It could, and probably will, create an issue here in blighty as well. People are getting caught up with thinking it is an EU/UK issue and that is why the EU have considered ringfencing some supplies from going abroad. If more attention was paid to the real issue, people might think differently. Underperforming Astra...
