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 […]

Austerity is state violence towards millions of ordinary people
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,131 Sunday 28 June 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, People ask me how I can write these letters day after day? I can write them because I have no mercy in my soul for you. You do not forgive someone for abusing you knowing they will do it […]
The banking crisis, the goose that laid the golden egg
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,119 Tuesday 16 June 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Looking back to the banking crisis, I think one of the most remarkable things about it was that it never occurred to the vast majority of ordinary people, including me, that it would become the goose that laid the […]
Britain’s shame
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,093 Friday 22 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, People still ask, ‘How could what happened in Nazi Germany have come about?’ Today, Britain is an object lesson in exactly how it came about.

The pyramid of power, privilege and poverty
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,087 Saturday 16 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Isn’t it amazing that the same week that sees the release, after a ten year battle, of the ‘black spider memos’ of the lobbying of government by Prince Charles also sees the re-emergence of your proposal to fast track […]
When middle England wakes up the poor might not be around to help them
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,081 Sunday 10 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Middle England has spoken and you’ve got a slim working majority. If that majority represents anything at all it is the triumph of un-reason. Many consider that the applauding of austerity and the cuts to the poor is down […]
The wilful destruction of the poor
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,073 Wednesday 29 April 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, In December last year you said your policies were ‘lifting people into work and out of poverty’. Let’s just have ourselves an election special review of Tory policies and action on poverty. The broad strokes are that the poor […]
Disabled people brutalised into labouring to save the economy, but no ILF. Oh really?
A letter a day to number 10. No 945 Sunday 14 December 2014. Dear Mr Cameron, We are facing system failure and sadly that’s down to a failure of imagination and a failure to progress. For example, you and the Unions have something in common, work, you may differ over how you see it but […]
