Useful Idiots
A week is a long time in politics and in the time it has taken to write this, another British prime minister and a home secretary have gone. I should be delighted, but there really isn’t much to celebrate. Read More …
Category: BREXIT
Brexit has provided an endless stream of humorous material for comedians. In these pages, I hope you will find something to make you laugh, even if you 100% disagree. Many of us have lost friends over BREXIT and for me, it is the animosity on both sides that is the saddest part. I cannot see how it can be worth it, but I hope I will be proven wrong. I am pro-European and by being so, that does not mean I am anti-UK. It just means that I believe we can achieve a far brighter future if we all work together rather than give our enemies the division they crave.
Lockdown Flags
Each time a government minister appears on TV, there is a flagpole with a Union Jack in the background. Anyone viewing from abroad would think that every British room has one. Read More …
Why I am not Ashamed to be British
In a week when the UK Government announces that it plans to break International Law and appoints Tony Abbott, an acclaimed misogynist, as UK trade envoy, I propose a replacement statue to sit upon Colston’s empty plinth in Bristol. Read More …

STOP PRESS: Benidorm Expat Brexiteers shocked to learn they too are MIGRANTS!
After a recent Twitter spat, I removed the term ‘expat’ from this blog. It was pointed out by ‘Brextremists’ that ‘expat’ is an elitist term for MIGRANT! I’m OK with that, but down at Ye Olde English Pub in Benidorm, there is a sense that Spain should be grateful to the UK. LOL. Read More …
Springtime for Boris and Britain, Winter for Ireland and France
As Brexit looms ever closer and the opinions of a divided country become further entrenched, I humbly submit this short essay, where I attempt to take the hysteria out of the BREXIT debate, by pointing out that this has all been nothing more than a song-and-dance routine…

It’s NOT OK Google!
Who does not love the free music of Spotify, apart from the gazillions of musicians, now unable to make a living? Who does not love 99cents books from Amazon or the Voice Assistants of Google, Siri and Alexa? I submit that these latest offerings are nothing less than a Trojan Horse. Neigh… Read More …
Down at the BREXIT Golf Club
Are you sitting comfortably? Then stop, it’s bad for you. Instead, read my reply to the little-Englanders, who claim that leaving the EU is akin to quitting a golf club. This, in a week when Britain loses its seat on the UN Court of Justice, for the first time ever. Meanwhile, down at the BREXIT golf club, trouble is brewing: Read More …
A funeral in Florence
Yesterday I sat through a five-thousand-word speech by British Prime Minister Theresa May. It was an hour of my life I will never be able to live again. In truth, I wasn’t expecting her to say anything that would add to the rehashed arguments about the state the UK now finds itself in. Nevertheless, I Read More …
