They don’t teach life in school

Seismic shifts in personal consciousness happen. For me this has been going on for months now and I can see the tantalising bits of cloth floating around me, but I can’t get my fingers on them to read what’s in the weave and weft to gather a fuller picture. Part of me doesn’t want to […]

The meaning of life

You might think that 67 is a bit late to discover that pretty much all I’ve thought about society and the way it’s organised is not only wrong, but terribly wrong, in fact, life threateningly wrong. It is likely that without the Tories I would never have made this discovery, or even cared. It’s the […]

We are the revolution and it’s free

We are in the middle of a revolution that isn’t receiving the attention it not only deserves but which is growing exponentially and which has taken over the world. It’s not that it hasn’t been noticed or acted upon, it’s just that it needs more attention paid to it for its own sake, because it […]

What price education and inequality?

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,499 Friday 22 July 2016. Dear Mrs May, In your first speech as prime minister you said, ” If you’re a white, working-class boy, you’re less likely than anybody else in Britain to go to university.” On Tuesday the Higher Education and Research Bill passed its second […]

The government trafficking in peoples lives for profit

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,410 Friday 22 April 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, I do not count it any sign of weakness to say to you that I am heart broken. I have never wept more in my life than I have wept since 2010 and I say that without a hint […]

The Tories and the anti-Midas touch of state destruction

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,314 Wednesday 13 January 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, You Tories employ what I can only describe as the anti-Midas touch in your attacks on Britain. You’ll have to pardon my crudeness but it matches the crudeness of your polices because the simple fact is that everything you […]

‘Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number – Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you – Ye are many – they are few.’ – Percy Bysshe Shelley – The Mask of Anarchy.

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,079 Wednesday 06 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Whatever happens tomorrow, the battle for the UK is on and it won’t be won by any self aggrandising knights in shining armour in parliament. This battle belongs to the people, by the people, for the people. The Political […]

A political career in treachery!

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,076 Sunday 03 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Like many who have endured under the worst government in UK history and for the tragedy of all those we’ve lost, I hope, with every particle of my being, that this election is not just your career defining moment, […]

All lies and spin, this nation cannot afford another five years of Tories

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,062 Saturday 18 April 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, I have to say that the Leaders debate on Thursday looked quite refreshing without you there. Thank you for deciding not to bother attending. I notice you decided to go to Leeds instead, apparently saying you liked a good […]
