Referendum. Madhouse. Cameron opted for a Referendum, which was really stupid, because in a referendum huge numbers of people decide the issue, and huge numbers can’t possibly understand something as complicated as Britain’s EU involvement. Still, Cameron’s decision came as no surprise because he has shown himself to be mentally challenged practically every time he […]

If REMAIN wins, Britain can say goodbye any time it feels like. If LEAVE wins, Britain just needs the time to sack its worst enemy (Mr Cameron). Then all avenues are open, including further chat with our euro-friends (but not masters). Best wishes, Donec

The Luxembourger (Jean-Claude Juncker, Head of the EU) announces that the EU needs an army. He says that NATO doesn’t cater for all the EU countries. In fact there are 28 countries in the EU and 28 in NATO. Five EU members are not in NATO (Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta and Sweden). Five NATO members […]

There is just a chance that the last few weeks have revealed Cameron in his true colours: very stupid (which we knew already) and extremely unpleasant (which we suspected). So stupid is he, and so unpleasant, that there is now a good chance that LEAVE (or BREXIT) will win the referendum. This puts a […]

It occurs to Donec that a vast number of people are likely to vote LEAVE simply because they cannot stand Cameron. We cannot fault their judgement as regards the man, but we wonder if leaving the EU is a price worth paying simply for the pleasure of his absence. Any suggestions? We suggest that the […]

I can’t help thinking that our Mr Cameron is the most dangerous man in the world, particularly if one is British. I remember with alarming clarity the passion with which he advocated bombing Assad a few years ago, and the infantile petulance with which he reacted to Parliament’s refusal to allow him to do so. […]

Promoting “Western Democracy” has become embarrassing since that process produced George Bush and Tony Blair (followed by the Unspeakable Rictus, Gordon Brown) as the best it could offer in the way of leadership. Bush turned out to be a grinning puppet with strings attached to a group of selt-serving megalomaniacs, while Blair has been responsible […]

A crooked man recruits a band of equally crooked nonentities and tells them that they are going to go into politics, because in politics there are no rules against corrupt practices (instead there are traditions, which have no teeth whatsoever). What’s more, if you get caught doing naughty things or simply being thoroughly incompetent, there […]

For the sake of argument, let us say that the legacy of the Labour government, when its time is up, will be a level of corruption in government circles and throughout the public services far greater than anything Britain has experienced in the last two centuries. This came about because Tony (bless him) couldn’t lie straight […]

POLITICS 3 His legacy. I suppose it must relate to his career. He started by persuading the Labour Party to shelve temporarily their more extreme socialist principles. That way, I imagine he explained, we will get into power. Once that has been achieved, we can be as socialist as we like. Power was achieved, but that […]

Let’s suppose that only the air we breathe is more pervasive than government. If air is poisonous, it causes long-term sickness to all the living things that breathe it. It is arguable therefore that if government is corrupt, it exposes all those who live under its influence to corruption, which they will either resist or […]

The thing to bear in mind is the pervasiveness of government. It touches every single citizen all the time and in many ways. Just think health, education, employment, tax, law and order, war and peace – just a few of the aspects of every man’s life in which government features – and you will get […]
