We moved!

So the site has moved, jumped ship, betrayed the Blogger community. So, if you are expecting some articles on politics where these words sit, then I am sorry. However, you are just one click away. Come on over.

Is a vote for the EU, a vote for proxy war?

As the EU referendum’s NO campaigns get themselves together, I find myself discussing the pros and cons of membership with those around me. After many an uninformed, bar-side, back-and-forth chat, I realise that, many of the potential YES voters feel that, pulling out of the EU, would be a vote for little Britain, for a disharmonious future Europe; of the sort that saw the UK fight two world wars.

Labour will never let Corbyn lead

Since Jeremy Corbyn gathered enough nominations from the Parliamentary Labour Party, in order to stand as Leader, the number of supporters, trade union affiliate members, and party members, has shot up. Jeremy’s campaign events are packed. An event in Hackney recently saw three teenagers attempting to climb through a window, just to hear him speak. There is no doubt that Jeremy’s campaign is moving people.

Chilcot: Tony's get out of jail free.

Over the last few days the Twittersphere has been filled with #labourpurge and an overall sense that the Labour Parliamentary Party, the establishment, are attempting to hold on to power. The threat of a prospective new wave, a re-entry of Labour ideologues seems to scare the powers that be, enough to override any principles of democracy. And, thus the cries of #labourpurge cry out into the Twittersphere. Now, considering this, and the fact that Sir John Chilcot has announced further delays to his enquiry’s reporting, is it possible that the mysterious powers that be are blocking publishing of the enquiry, due now in 2016?

Corbyn is a hope for new electors

A You Gov poll last week placed Jeremy Corbyn at the top of the Labour league and since then every major news outlet has had something to say on why Labour, and Jeremy are doomed. I have listened to reporters suggest that his success must be as a consequence of entryism from the hard, or radical, left, or even the right as the telegraph has been encouraging. I have also read suggestions that, if he becomes leader, any resulting entity to emerge from a possible Corbyn victory would be a consequence of said entryism, and this couldn’t possibly offer enough to the electorate as a whole to beat Cameron’s blue team in 2020.
