A letter a day to number 10. No 1,321 Wednesday 20 January 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, Work, the great Tory magic mantra.

There are far too many arrogant, mentally deficient, juveniles in politics
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,186 Saturday 22 August 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, You know, we are going to have to do something about people in politics who look like adults but have the mentality and behaviour of sub-normal children. Although this has nothing to do with you or your party, it […]
The abundant Earth and the violence of poverty and greed
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,177 Thursday 13 August 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Imagine an Earth which did not and could not provide enough of all that is required to produce life. It could have land masses, seas, a complex weather system, rocks, minerals and chemical mixes and reactions, enough to form […]

Arise the sleeping giant and throw off the chains that have bound you
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,170 Thursday 06 August 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, The left has finally reawakened after many years of hunkering in the darkness of post Thatcher Britain.

The Bible, now rivaled by the Tory manifesto as ‘the good book’
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,166 Sunday 02 August 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, “I don’t think we’ve wasted a day, frankly, in the last 80 days.” Nor you have, Mr Cameron, not a wasted moment. You have somewhere around twenty judges resigning at the pigs breakfast that is now what was once […]
Poverty is violence. The welfare reform vote
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,155 Wednesday 22 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, What a triumph for the violently malicious and the spinelessly mediocre the voting on the Welfare Bill was. Make no mistake, poverty is violence! That’s the bottom line. And those who drive poverty as policy are no more than […]

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.

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’.
