There are bigger problems than Brexit at the moment. All public services and a lot of sectors are in crisis, or collapsing. Brexit adds a bit to this,...
The Tory political tradition via Eton and Oxford is a hangover from the British imperialism of the 19th century. Hopefully it is now broken. The econo...
Yes, my point is that this model is now broken. The Tory’s have succeeded in gaslighting the population since the establishment of the 1922 committee....
Cambridge University is woke by comparison with Oxford. It’s simply the Chanels established by the political elites. Through which the chosen ones pas...
The most important development will be the end of the tradition of people from the privileged upper middle classes being groomed for a life in politic...
looks as though the Tory’s are descending into chaos. They are confident that they will coalesce behind a new PM within a week. While their party is s...
The Tory’s have done the right thing. It is imperative that they self destruct and retreat into electoral oblivion. So that we can rebuild our country...
As I see it, it wasn’t that expansion which caused the issue in the U.K. It was the total open door policy without any organised provision of housing,...
I would point out another dimension to the Brexit debate. That it was also about an existential crisis within the Conservative party. The majority of ...
I sympathise with your proposition as a means to avoid destruction of the species. I suggest it is complicated when it comes to geopolitics and it is ...
Yes, this is why some kind of long term impasse is required. Such as a return to the Cold War. It appears that Russia(Putin’s regime) hasn’t moved on ...
Precisely and that is what Finland has done. It was literally on Putin’s whim that Russian troops entered Ukraine. Finland watched this move and then ...
Putin appears to be and wants to depict himself as taking advice on this from Lavrov. Lavrov is using weasel words with veiled threats. There was also...
Oh, I forgot to mention that it’s move to defend against threats doesn’t necessarily include its threat to itself. I was talking about Putin, you know...
Yes, it is a defensive alliance. What it is defending against is all possible risks, not actual current risks. In reality there will be intelligence w...
The answer was implied in my response; “Like the infiltrators they sent into Donbas prior to the special military operation in 2014.” If Finland were ...
Russia won’t invade Finland, it will send in infiltrators. Haven’t you realised yet that Russia knows that the planet is warming making their northern...
I’m not sure fear is the right word here. Protect from might be more appropriate. The lines are being redrawn between Europe and Russia and a new Cold...
Good article, part of the inevitable covid shock. An economic Tsunami caused by a supply crisis. Those countries with a more libertarian/free market e...
In Putin’s head; “ I want to bring Ukraine under my control, I know I’ll send in infiltrators to agitate, destabilise the political situation and then...
Agreed, like the high inflation in Russia in the late 1990’s to bring it back on topic. When this happened in Russia whoever owned large assets which ...
I’m afraid Streetlight is right on this one. There’s one rule about capital and big money. It doesn’t matter what’s happening if it’s up, or down, inf...
Ahh, that’s alright then. Let’s just go back to the history written by the victors then. Nothing to see hear. Cromwell only did half the job, he gave ...
What? the French imported the aristocracy to Britain and then took the guillotine to their own. You should have brought it across the channel while yo...
Agreed, although in Britain there was an acute case of the people who were treating the people in a brutal way were foreigners who invaded and they li...
Why of course, Putin is trying to re establish peace in the region. Talk that he’s desperately trying to build a legacy before he becomes to ill to co...
Ahh! this is the sentence I wrote which gave you that impression; “Who’s descendants, still totally in control of the population, did the global empir...
You miss the point, the point is class and privilege, not blood lines (I said institutions) The structure of the British class system was virtually as...
Yes, it would isolate Ukraine from the Black Sea. Leaving Ukraine to transport their grain and fertiliser exports through the EU via rail. It would pr...
EU is an instrument of US foreign policy? This is evidence of your wearing of anti US tinted glasses. This weakens your case. Regarding NATO, it has e...
I don’t see expansion of a US empire, there are the claims about corporate exploitation and and litigation by US companies around the world, the sprea...
I reiterate what I said to Streetlight earlier, “ I draw your attention back to the theatre of Eastern Europe. What is happening here is a reordering ...
I watched an excellent documentary about the effects of Fentanyl in social breakdown in St Louis last night. (U.K. Channel4, Unreported World). The so...
I don’t see evidence of this expansionist US imperialism that you allude to. The US abandoned their proxy wars with Russia before the end of the Cold ...
By progressive change, I mean live alongside their neighbours peacefully. With some kind of basic cooperation. Nothing else. It’s not a big ask. Weste...
