I would very much like the government to stop caring for me through the replacement of Trident and supporting a first strike nuclear option.

Parliament takes its summer break, how many will die?
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,500 Saturday 23 July 2016. Dear Mrs May, I know it has got many MP’s not just stumped, but, I think, frightened… people have discovered, or rediscovered, democracy.

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,496 Monday 18 July 2016. Dear Mrs May, A vote on Trident is due today (Monday) which is likely to be passed by parliament. You have made your own views very clear, “…it would be sheer madness to contemplate even for a moment giving up Britain’s independent […]
Nothing to see here, It’s only a war on the poor
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,364 Monday 07 March 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, How is it, I wonder, that all the wealth of the nation, the media and government and business and financial markets, extremes of wealth, can just roll on as usual but we cannot reduce poverty and help the poor […]
The lies that destroy lives
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,363 Sunday 06 March 2016.

If life has a purpose then it is life itself which is that purpose
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,214 Monday 28 September 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, You know, sitting, as you do, in the top 10% or 1% of society, or maybe in the top 1% of the top 1% (I don’t know), it is easy for you to judge us and hand down your […]
We can afford war but not peace or aid, for shame!
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,194 Saturday 05 September 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, The refugee situation. Well, that sure made the headlines eh?

Insulting the intelligence of the nation
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,192 Thursday 03 September 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, You must be enjoying the spectacle of Labour tearing itself apart immensely.
