Having just scraped through another recession it seems there’s more to come as £40billion gets wiped off the value of Britain’s biggest companies as a result of concern over the health of the banking system (Daily Mail, June 30th 2010). Interest rates on savings are at an all-time low and the Chinese economy appears to [...]

Following the budget the Public Sector unions were up in arms with Dave Prentis, leader of Unison, declaring “If the Government picks a fight, we will be fierce defenders of our members and the services they deliver”. Christine Blower, general secretary of the NUT, appears to be ready to cause chaos in the classroom. So [...]

Now, as we are about to find out just how bad things are, I’m getting increasingly frustrated by economists and the like poring over their numbers. You can analyse to your heart’s content but something a little more meaningful than that is what’s required. Getting the deficit down is essential, obviously, but building for the [...]

Oh purlease! When will the stupid dipsticks in Government STOP! It’s not a witch-hunt… David Laws may have been trying to hide his homosexual relationship but at the end of the day he STOLE £40,000.

Whatever it is, its a damn good reason to keep your details to yourself if even your Government will use them [...]

I know, it’s a complete pain to be stuck somewhere when you want to be somewhere else. It’s also highly irritating when the ‘wrong type of snow’ is quoted as the reason. Eurostar have a major problem in the PR department. And so do YOU! And YOU are all those people out there who want [...]

Well! That’s causing a jolly stir isn’t it! What’s the problem? The BNP is a legal party with a democratically elected leader (more than Labour can say). Is the BNP good for Britain? Probably not. Am I happy that Nick Griffin is on Question Time? Not really. My question is was it inevitable? Given where [...]

The postal workers go on strike today, the binmen in Leeds have been on strike since early September and may be out until Christmas while South Yorkshire firefighters went on strike on October 19th. I’m not going to comment on who is right and who is wrong, there are plenty of people already doing that despite [...]
