Dear Boris, please stop worrying about too much democracy
It seems vital as we approach the end of the 34th month since we last voted on a series of rather half correct and even dishonest promises about Brexit and we are at the beginning of the 23rd month since … Continue reading
Surely this use of language justifies a legal investigation
When Boris claimed on LBC radio that £60m of public money had been ejaculated up a wall by the Police service investigating historic child abuse cases he surely crossed some sort of line. Had he crossed it in private he … Continue reading

Why a new approach is needed, urgently
Yesterday in the Daily Boris-graph, the ‘news’ paper managed to give Mr Johnson a headline on the front page and several inches of print along with his own column which the paper published on page 20 and clearly pays large … Continue reading
