The policies of driving people into enforced helplessness
A letter a day to number 10. No 981 Wednesday 21 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, I have never been able to decide whether depression is down to nature or nurture. I suspect it’s both and I also suspect it is something for which there will never be a definitive answer. Even looking back to […]
Civil disobedience should be taught as an art form
A letter a day to number 10. No 980 Tuesday 20 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Oxfam reports that by next year 1% of the world’s population will own more wealth than the other 99%, that is 1% owning more than half of global wealth which in 2013 was given as $241 trillion, that’s $51,600 […]
Cameron disagrees with violence, what else is the war on the poor?
A letter a day to number 10. No 979 Monday 19 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, You have challenged the Pope who, in response to the violence in France said, “If my good friend Dr Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch. It’s normal. You cannot provoke, you cannot […]

Britain, TTIP, and the new dark age
A letter a day to number 10. No 976 Friday 16 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Boris Johnson may well dismiss critics of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) as “numskulls”, a term he obviously learnt from reading the Beano, but playground insults do not strengthen the case for TTIP, quite the opposite. The […]
The poor are worthless and expendable in Tory Britain
A letter a day to number 10. No 975 Thursday 15 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, It seems that George Osborne has told the Times, “I couldn’t have been clearer that our plans do not involve tax increases, including VAT, because our plans involve cutting public expenditure and saving on welfare budgets.” How casually he […]
The age of hypocrisy
A letter a day to number 10. No 974 Wednesday 14 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, I wonder what future generations will call this period in history since the rise of neoliberalism, my personal choice would be, ‘the age of hypocrisy’.
