National debt? There is no national debt!

The following is probably not entirely accurate in places, that’s because I am still learning and looking behind the myths and bullshit. It’s not easy because the myths and bullshit rule.   One the many egregious crimes of George Osborne was to liken the national economy to a household economy. He knew it was a […]

Osborne to cut corporation tax – he’s not backing Britain

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,484 Tuesday 05 July 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, I see that George Osborne is set to lower corporation tax to 15% and there are even calls for it to be lower to woo investors to Britain, not least from China. The problem with overseas investment is that […]

Money out of thin air and nothing for the poor

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,372 Tuesday 15 March 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, Let’s talk about money. Money is neither a natural resource nor is it a finite resource. Money is entirely man-made, 93% of which is now made out of fresh air, just numbers on a computer screen. Think of money […]

The Tories, playground thieves and bullies elevated beyond use

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,342 Sunday 14 February 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, How kind of you to let us know that you are now demonising people who fail to pay back their student loans on time. Sanctions and prosecutions for the debts you’ve heaped upon students, who’d have thought it eh? […]

The violence of poverty rewarding the few

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,318 Sunday 17 January 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, Millions of people are being driven into a third world existence in Britain, which considers itself to be a first world nation. Poverty is not an accident, nor is it a natural force of nature, it is a deliberate […]

Cameron’s home owning democracy, the scam of the century more like

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,316 Friday 15 January 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, You said on LBC radio in response to a question about whether you worry about your children owning their own homes, “I absolutely worry about it.” Let’s just pretend for a moment that I believe you. If someone who […]

The Tories and the servile state

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,232 Friday 16 October 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Jeremy Hunt wants us to work harder and die younger just like the Americans and Chinese. The World Health Organisation life expectancy rankings has Britain at 19th, the US at 34 and China at 67. Just who in hell […]

We can bail out the banks but the steel industry is abandoned

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,216 Wednesday 30 September 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Did Conservative MP James Wharton, the Minister for Local Growth and the Northern Powerhouse, really say, “An industry which has made a loss over each of the last three years would pass that responsibility to the tax payer”? The […]

The Tories, an insult to human intelligence (or any other come to that).

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,167 Monday 03 August 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, After yesterdays whistle stop tour of ‘around the Tories in 80 days’ I have to say that probably your greatest offence is the daily onslaught of government insults to our intelligence. At a time of record production and confidence […]

The Tory giant Ponzi scheme

A letter a day to number 10. No 964 Sunday 04 January 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Britain is not in a crisis in any natural sense. It is a manufactured, market driven, for profit, ideologically imposed austerity fronted by you and your government. Since 2009 printing money as quantitative-easing (QE) has added £375 billion out […]
