The Great Deception 14 -No! No! No! The Fall of Thatcher

Brexit Update: Is Brexit not getting boring?  I think we all just wish they would get on with it…But I suspect after all the huffing and puffing we do not have politicians who have either the nerve, desire or courage to actually go through with it. (unlike the politician featured in todays chapter – see below).   If we did then we would end up with … Continue reading The Great Deception 14 -No! No! No! The Fall of Thatcher

Before going on to Ch. 12 of The Great Deception –  lets catch The Brexit saga rolls on and this week took another turn.  After Mrs May’s Brexit agreement was roundly defeated by over 200 votes, this week it passed by a surprisingly comfortable margin of 16 votes.  Except of course it didn’t because it was not the same plan.  The amended plan would seek … Continue reading The Great Deception 13 – In A Minority of One

The Great Deception – Part 12 – The Creation of a ‘European’ Identity.

We return to The Great Deception – but before doing so, let us note where things currently are in the great Brexit debate.  It appears as though the momentum behind a second referendum has stalled – with its advocates arguing amongst themselves – and the government seeming less and less likely to support it.    The EU meanwhile is refusing to budge on the question … Continue reading The Great Deception – Part 12 – The Creation of a ‘European’ Identity.

The Uncivil War – A Prophetic, Enlightening and Inspiring Play

Nah – don’t think I’ll bother.  That was my reaction when I heard about Channel 4’s drama on Brexit.  It’ll be the usual ‘Brexit was all about thicko ignorant racists voting for something they knew nothing about’ narrative – and to be honest, I’m tired of the whole mess.  But then I read that the Guardian hated it.  This is normally an excellent recommendation for … Continue reading The Uncivil War – A Prophetic, Enlightening and Inspiring Play
