If you are a habitual reader of my blog, you will know that I frequently denounce the political elite of all parties for their self seeking agenda, and paying scant attention for the wishes and views of the people whom they purport to represent. Well, my indignation rose to new heights last month when I [...]

I am dismayed by proposals by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson to make police officers patrol the streets of London alone, as opposed to in pairs, which is the current practice. This is nothing less than yet another cost-cutting measure imposed from on high by out of touch management, and as usual, it is [...]

Since it has been almost a month since we had a little video on here, I thought I would upload this little piece. Following up on my promise of yesterday, it details my encounter with Mayor Boris this morning as the world of free trade and internationalism clashes with the reality of rising unemployment and [...]
