Boris – some clarification…

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Guthlac

So he now has his hands on power.  I wish him well because if Britain is to succeed then it must have a successful Prime Minister.   My problem with Bori is that I don’t think he is up to the … Continue reading →

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

A special kind of hell…

Posted on June 25, 2019 by Guthlac

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 →

Strange Bedfellows…

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Guthlac

Is Alexander a Clown?….

Posted on June 16, 2019 by Guthlac
