The view from Holloway is probably quite different to that from Chipping Norton, the tory stronghold where the likes of Rebekah Brooks and Jeremy Clarkson hobnob with hapless Prime Minister David Cameron. Yet it is the view from Holloway with which Ms.Brooks may become most familiar. The Phone Hacking scandal is shaping up nicely. If [...]
Is the phone hacking scandal David Cameron’s personal Watergate? We appear to have all the ingredients necessary to topple an unelected government for whom cynicism and self interest appear to be the only identifiable characteristics. So why is the press tip toeing around this story like cattle avoiding an abattoir? For those who haven’t been [...]
File under ‘complicated’, but news of the allied coalition launching 110 Tomahawk missiles at Libya does not fill me with waves of patriotic pride. Quite the opposite in fact.

The Tories have always [...]
This post may be a long one, and it may well degenerate into an angry rant, but in the immortal words of Peter Finch in the classic movie, Network, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore…” It’s this government, it’s the so called Big Society, it’s every time I hear [...]
