Trying to fathom the Tory strategy over Brexit is not dissimilar to trying to work out where you were and where you were going in one of London’s infamous smogs in years past in which, sometimes, you were unable to see your hand in front of your face. I well remember being completely disoriented, not […]

Mental warfare – a battle for our minds
I feel as if someone has been drilling holes in my mind and filling them with poison. I am passionate about social justice and I am passionate about democracy, bottom up, that is, not top down. The Tories are wiping out people based on an insane binary view of humanity as either strivers or scroungers. […]
This Tory dystopia must end
Behind Theresa May on the stage in Manchester was a sign which read, ‘Building a country that works for everyone’. I am not sure where this mythical country might be, because we’ve already got one and once upon a time, before Thatcher, it did work better for everyone. Though poverty and hardship had not been […]
For the many
The Conservative party has thrown all caution to the wind in their self interested pursuit of privilege and power over the cares, concerns, and needs of ordinary people and anyone who is not outraged at what they are doing fails the litmus test for basic humanity, as indeed do the Tories themselves. The fundamental problem […]
In a world run by liars
We are facing a tsunami of fake news, PR on crack, from people with not one shred of decency or humanity amongst them. It is worth bearing in mind that these are all power plays, it’s all deception from the utterly corrupt, but more than that is the cynicism of fake news, driven by pictures, […]
The greedy few, ruining the world for everyone
Cities are incredibly vulnerable places and I am not sure that the Tories and neoliberals across the world have thought this through. London is becoming increasingly gentrified as a matter of policy, big money is enforcing social cleansing, it’s getting rid of the poor and creating a haven for wealth, and wealth in and of […]
The government is far too comfortable with killing poor people
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,543 Sunday 04 September 2016. Dear Mrs May, Just as Jeremy Hunt is stealing the life blood out of our NHS, so too is the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) draining the life and spirit out of the people. None of this is necessary, these are […]
Footprints for profit, epic vandalism of our NHS
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,541 Friday 02 September 2016. Dear Mrs May, Jeremy Hunt has accused junior doctors of inflicting ‘the worst doctors’ strike in NHS history’. It is hardly surprising given that we are afflicted with the worst health secretary in history. What is more worrying is that the rest […]
The end is nigh for our NHS and people will die
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,519 Thursday 11 August 2016. Dear Mrs May, What in the world…? United Lincolnshire hospitals NHS trust (ULHT) has announced that crisis point has been reached and to protect patient safety they are looking to reduce A&E hours because of a shortage of doctors. Before Andrew Lansley […]
Britain is suffocating under the weight of corporate greed
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,512 Thursday 04 August 2016. Dear Mrs May, The Telegraph reports that there has been a rise in payments for NHS trust interim managers being paid “off payroll” from 961 in 2013/14 to 1,193 in 2014/15. Given that the NHS is in crisis thanks to the actions […]
