A letter a day to number 10. No 1,148 Wednesday 15 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, If we, the great British taxpaying public, bailed out the banks, how come it’s us who are in debt and to whom? We are now paying £1 billion a week in interest on ‘the national debt’, which stands at […]

Osborne demands to know, if the poor don’t eliminate the deficit, who will?
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,147 Tuesday 14 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Seeing Iain Duncan Smith’s ecstatic display of unbridled joy at Osborne’s budget was an insult to humanity. Osborne had just pulled off the scam of the century in rebranding the living wage as something less than the minimum required […]
The UK, where those with the broadest shoulders bear the greatest burden
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,146 Monday 13 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, The progress of humanity has led to me enjoying and appreciating the comfort and security of living on Disability Living Allowance. Yes I did say comfort. Feel free to quote me. You can have no idea what that means […]
It is not the vulnerable who should bear any shame, it’s those who attack them
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,145 Sunday 12 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, I had an interesting experience on Facebook last night. I shared a video made by a young woman and her 16 year old brother entitled “WE LOVE GEORGE OSBORNE’S BUDGET!!!”. The first moments were very well done, the young […]
The politics of envy, invented by the rich who oppress the poor
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,144 Saturday 11 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, As I have daily observed and written about your unravelling of this country since March 2012 certain things stick in my mind. They go on what I call my back burner, the place where I put things that aren’t […]
Thank goodness we have the poor to pay off the debt
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,143 Friday 10 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, I’m curious, George Osborne proudly announced in the budget ‘the sale of Government assets this year will deliver the largest privatisation proceeds of all time, higher than the previous record in 1987’. Apparently ‘£32billion of state-owned assets will be […]
The budget for the Tories hard working people
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,142 Thursday 09 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Britain is to get a pay rise and IDS nearly had an orgasm. Starting at £7.20 an hour a worker, if they are fortunate enough to have a 40 hour a week contract and not a zero hours one […]
Osborne’s carrots for the rich and sticks for the poor show
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,141 Wednesday 08 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Sitting here writing today feels a lot like standing by the side of the road waiting for a car crash. The only difference is that I know exactly when this car crash will arrive, immediately after the weekly pantomime […]
It’s ok to insult, humiliate and abuse the poor in Tory Britain!
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,140 Tuesday 07 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, The message is loud and clear, anyone who is poor, down on their luck, out of a job, sick or disabled, living in council or social housing or homeless, not a millionaire or inheritor of wealth, doesn’t aspire to […]
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie, about to budget on a great big lie
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,139 Monday 06 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Are you really going to sit back and allow George Osborne to mislead (as parliament would have it) or lie to (as I prefer to call it) parliament and the public when according to the BBC he plans to […]
