When is an unfunded spending promise good?…

Posted on June 27, 2019 by Guthlac

It seems that the two contenders to become the next Tory leader have decided that Jeremy Corbyn was right along – the austerity cuts went too far and it is now time to splash the cash.   Or did I miss … Continue reading →

Why won’t you like me….

Posted on June 26, 2019 by Guthlac

  The more time I spend exploring social media the more I realise what a total shit place it is.  I do realise the irony of complaining about social media on a social media platform but life is full of … Continue reading →

Life is like a box of donuts….

Posted on June 21, 2019 by Guthlac

  Do I stay or do I go?   Not sure whether this blog will be closed down after all these years or not.   I am rethinking my whole engagement with social media in general and this blog in particular.  Do … Continue reading →

Pulling a Richard….

Posted on June 20, 2019 by Guthlac

It is tempting call foul on the voting of the Tory MPs this evening that gave Boris Johnson his ideal candidate – you could say it was almost Nixonesque in its execution – if it wasn’t for the fact that … Continue reading →

With apologies to Jeremy & Sajid….

Posted on June 20, 2019 by Guthlac

Then there were two (I know there are still four but do you really see Jeremy Hunt or Sajid Javid stopping the Boris Bus?) . Rory Stewart is now a Tory unperson – far too much personality  and hubris for … Continue reading →

So what was the point of that?….

Posted on June 19, 2019 by Guthlac

I started to watch last night’s Tory Party leader debate and immediately lost interest.   What was the point of the whole charade?  These men don’t have to engage with the public at large but rather 318 MPs and then 160 … Continue reading →

Strange Bedfellows…

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Guthlac

  Like most sane people last night I didn’t watch the somewhat bizarre Tory leader TV debate – preferring the much much more interesting goings on in 19th century Halifax  – the frocks were much more frilly!.  Instead I got … Continue reading →

Is Alexander a Clown?….

Posted on June 16, 2019 by Guthlac

  At one level of course he is…at some level we all are.   The difference is that most of us will never have control of the nuclear launch codes.   Is this a problem?   Well I don’t seem to have too … Continue reading →

If we must have an old Etonian as the next PM….

Posted on June 14, 2019 by Guthlac

I suspect my support would be the kiss of death – not that I am a member of the Conservative Party (way too young and far too liberal!) . Anyway if we must have an old Etonian and Oxford graduate … Continue reading →

Up Alexander….

Posted on June 12, 2019 by Guthlac

I’m really not sure I’ve cracked the likeness just yet but I have yet to see a less qualified candidate for the office of Prime Minister than Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson in a very long time.  A case can … Continue reading →
