Keeping Quiet in Time of National Aggression!
Over the last few months I have noticed that social media platforms have become increasingly quiet, with people deciding not to voice opinion through fear of being trolled by maniacs. In fact, if like me, you are 'soft left' in your opinions, you can get slaughtered from all directions, with right-wing loons calling you a poof or a traitor, whilst blinkered far left socialists claim you are a Blairite capitalist working as a plant for Rupert ...
George Osborne – Would You Employ Him?
A lot is said of the grotesque money footballers earn these days, which is understandable when you hear figures of £100 - 200 and 300k a week...even more if they want to play in empty stadiums in China to boost their retirement portfolios.

Hooray…Winter is Over!
Well that's it folks, winter is over. It is now time for daffodils, swallows, light evenings, warm sunshine, and a slow but sure entrance into sunny days and balmy evenings. Of course, it won't turn out that way, it was only five degrees today with intermittent sleet and rain but we are British for God's sake, so we must be positive and pretend our summers are going to be like UKIP supporters remember them. So what about winter? What ...
