The Bi-weekly Muse

Wednesday 16th September 2020 My wife and I have now been married for eleven years. I’m not going to jump up and down and proclaim I know the secret of a long marriage, though eleven years might be judged as long these days. I might make a few points around having a happy marriage though […]

Tories and Responsibility

I do believe the title of this post represents two words that don’t sit well together. Our Tory incumbents have rushed to re-open pubs, schools and offices, and now, as we see a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases, we also see the Tories blaming young people for not following social distancing rules. It’s kinda hard […]

Johnson’s PMQ Meltdown

It will never cease to amaze me that the British people en-masse voted in a PM who is clearly detached from reality and decency.

Healthcare Cost Comparison – UK vs US

In light of the decision by Tory MPs to deny the NHS protection from being sold off as part of trade deals, I wanted to highlight the stark differences in the UK and US healthcare systems, to illustrate why we need to protect the NHS from encroachment by US businesses. Firstly, some basics. Hopefully you […]

The Tory NHS Wish

Having assured us that the NHS wasn’t for sale, the other day Tory MPs shot down a motion to ensure this was definitely the case. Suddenly the prospect is very much alive (what a surprise). Alongside this latest example of Tory deceit was another vote regarding the quality of food and the treatment of animals, […]

Tory Lies and the Public Dies

Recall Boris Johnson giving us a ‘rock solid‘ guarantee that the NHS is not for sale, and will not be part of any trade negotiations with other countries? Why then, have his Tory MPs voted against a motion to protect the NHS from this very issue? Could it be that Johnson and his bunch of […]
