It was exactly 10 days ago, I was bored, and broke a cardinal rule. Do not get your news from Facebook, and under no circumstances buy anything from a Facebook ad. Facebook news is about as reliable as a 1970’s British sports car with Lucas electric components. It might get you to the local pub […]

I don’t often watch Al Jazeera, I tend to put them in the same category as Fox News and RT, there always seems to be an agenda. However this two part documentary is well worth the effort.

Actually this is a simple question to answer. Typically in October the price of gas drops as the refiners move to ‘winter blend’, this is a cheaper product to produce as less additives such as Ethanol are used. I saw an overnight leap of 10 cents a gallon. What is causing this? We are in […]

The Conservatives have not become UKIP they are far, far cleverer than that. Since David Cameron’s unwise decision to promise a referendum on EU membership in the Conservative Manifesto for the 2015 General Election everything has gone swimmingly for the Tory Right. The objectives of Cameron’s gamble were twofold. First to rein back the Tory […]
This has been a wholly successful coup by the Right in Britain. Let’s track back a couple of years. David Cameron led a Con/LibDem Coalition. This was anathema to the Tory Rightand their media supporters ( The Spectator, ConHome, The Daily Mail, the Telegraph newspapers etc etc). It also opened the way to UKIP who […]

I was pissed off with Sizmek and their evil step child Datahub.serving-sys.com, but other than calling them a bunch of wankers and writing a couple of less than flattering articles about the sleazy business they are in (here here and here) I thought I was done with them. OK, there is a little unfinished business […]

We also woke up to a divided country – […]
