NOUS SOMMES TOUS CHARLIE
#JeSuisCharlie We should all be Charlie. Whatever or faith, whatever our religion, wherever we live, whoever we are, we must all stand together in sympathy and solidarity with the victims of the evil terrorist attack in Paris on Charlie Hebdo. … Continue reading
DEAR VOTER IN THE SCOTTISH REFERENDUM
You have the privilege of voting in the referendum to decide the future of both Scotland and the United Kingdom. I, as a proud Scot, a proud Welshman and a proud Briton do not have this privilege. Like millions of … Continue reading
HOW TO TELL THE SNP?
How do we point out to SNP supporters that they should vote No next Thursday to save their party, without alarming No voters? The survival of the SNP depends on a No vote. The party exists to campaign, lobby and … Continue reading

I’VE CHANGED MY MIND ON SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE
I’ve changed my mind over Scottish independence and so on which way I would vote in the referendum on 18 September. Although a Liberal and Liberal Democrat, I welcomed the SNP’s election progress from the 1967 Hamilton by-election to their … Continue reading

Time for something different
It is surely time for something other than austerity to solve the United Kingdom’s economic woes and the Budget in a few days’ time should not impose any more cuts on the circumstances of ordinary people. Whatever politicians say when … Continue reading

Deputy Prime Minister’s response to Leveson
10 out of 10 to the Deputy Prime Minister. He supports Lord Justice Leveson’s report and understands public concern. He gave a bravura performance in answering MPs’ questions, dealing with each question that was put and not dodging, as most … Continue reading

Veto! 24+ hours on
The only honourable course for prime miniser David Cameron, chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne and foreign secretary William Hague is resignation: resignation by morning. Let people who do not hate this country and Europe take their place to try … Continue reading
Veto!
Prime minister David Cameron’s veto at the EU summit in Brussels leaves the UK isolated in a way that has no precedent. His “veto” is a refusal not to take part in discussions which are going to go ahead without the … Continue reading
