Funding rules again
On Thursday I wrote about a question posed by Henry Smith MP for Crawley. He asked if the Labour Party should declare corporate donations from AstraZeneca before debating the proposed takeover of the company by Pfizer in the House of Commons. The … Continue reading →
Growing signs of incompetence
A small number of our Political Representatives have over claimed public money in the form of their expenses or allowances. There are also rumours of small numbers of people whose behaviour at work and within public buildings has been totally inappropriate to say the least. … Continue reading →
A trend is emerging
This Government has already made a number of significant changes to the workings of our Criminal Justice System and the role of organisations, currently outside of the Political domain such as charities to engage in debate during the process of elections. … Continue reading →
We all make mistakes
The news that a Government has made a mistake should not shock us. All of us make mistakes and as the adage goes “If we do don’t make mistakes, we won’t make anything” Of course making mistakes should not become … Continue reading →

What is so special about Greggs?
I confess to enjoying pies and cakes, and in my lifetime have eaten many of them, including quite a few from Greggs and even some from their original Gosforth store where they sell the wonderful Stotty’s. I would not suggest that their produce … Continue reading →
For the want of a vote……..
