The Pill Boxes that Never Got Used!
I went for a walk along the Basingstoke Canal on Saturday. It was a fantastic late autumn afternoon, and, on my way, I came across a couple of Pill Boxes and anti-tank cylinders. I don’t know why, but I always thought Pill boxes were exclusive to the Kennet & Avon Canal, perhaps because that is where I spent my youth fishing. Pill Boxes were named after (would you believe) boxes that carried pills and these particular ones were built ...

A week is a long time in politics and it certainly feels like it. What I think I have learnt is that Boris Johnson could eat one of the Queen’s Corgis and get away with it.

Dinner Money Row The ...

If the Jewish community were predominantly left leaning, Johnson would write articles about them ...
The TV Debate that Offered Little!

The support of both leaders is partisan, and it is unlikely that someone who is a fervent believer in Johnson is going to switch allegiance and vice versa. By most sensible accounts, Johnson is the one with the decent lead, so all he had to do is undertake his instructions from Dominic Cummings and he would be ...
