Victory in Europe at last… but not for us this time

The Citizen — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 12:14:41 +0000

The latest stand-off between Britain and Germany will of course have a range of consequences for this country: some good, some bad.

To understand the reality behind this political pantomime, we should first step back and put recent events into perspective.

It has actually been a slow but relentless strategy on the part of the [...]

Third time lucky for the Germans? Beware the new ‘auditors’.

The Citizen — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:09:24 +0000

So now Germany is telling the spineless Cameron what to do on a referendum. (Telegraph, 18 Nov).

Cameron looks increasingly like a modern Neville Chamberlain. Appeasement of the Germans for fear of causing trouble didn’t work the first time and it won’t work this time.

His lack of leadership, and the Tories’ refusal to let [...]

Tories privatise the nation, as planned. British people take the hit.

The Citizen — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:28:49 +0000

The effects of Tories privatising Britain are starting to hit home, and it’s the people who take the hit, not the rich or the bankers who created the problems.

Well, what did people expect when they voted Tory last year? Were they taken in by the nice green tree in their new logo? No [...]

Tories desperate for Cameron to lose 'toff' image.Boris gets away with it. We're not fooled, either way

The Citizen — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:45:55 +0000

If you read the Tory blog, ‘conservativehome‘, you’ll see they’re deluding themselves into thinking that David ‘call me Dave’ Cameron has escaped his ‘toff’ tag just because Labour aren’t using it as a jibe now. (Cameron is shown, left, next to his ancestor, King William IV – also known as ‘Silly Billy’ – who twice [...]

Nazi police stormtroopers subdue democratic protest

The Citizen — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:51:06 +0000

Never a rabid protester in the past, and never one to kick up much of a fuss in public… I wanted to express my disgust at the mess the bankers and politicians have created for us yet again, and went along to lend a bit of support to the G20 protests in the City of London [...]

G20 march and rally – be there

G20: don't assume they'll get it right this time, either

The Editor — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:02:25 +0000

It’s all very laudable – world leaders getting together to defeat a global economic recession which they managed to create for us in the first place.

But shouldn’t we and the other nations be sending people who actually KNOW what they’re [...]

Surprise – immigrants NOT leaving after all

The Editor — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 09:32:39 +0000

We knew all along that the story was too good to be true – certainly in London, Bristol and Hull. As usual, it’s another government deception to try and quell the growing number of voices speaking out against increasing numbers of illegal immigrants and the resulting dilution of the British culture and lifestyle.
