Reading Time: 5 minutes Theresa May a finalement compris que personne ne l’aime et certains la détestent – en tant que premère ministre, bien entendu. Si je suis honnête avec moi-meme, je me sens en partie désolé pour Madame May. Elle me rappelle une belle-mère avec qui vous vous disputez sans cesse mais qui vous rend très triste quand […]

Democratic Britain? EU Citizens Denied Vote In European Elections
Reading Time: 5 minutes Today, under Theresa May, many EU citizens have been denied the right to vote in their own elections. What would happen tomorrow under Boris Johnson? Reports that many EU citizens living in the UK have been denied voting rights in the European parliament elections defy belief. It was so easy for me to […]
City End Up 32 Points Ahead Of United
Reading Time: 2 minutes For City, it’s no longer a question of being “noisy neighbours,” as Sir Alex Ferguson famously said. No, City have sold their house and gone to live in a neighbourhood that United simply cannot afford. Well, I’m relieved that I didn’t have to hide in the downstairs cupboard like I did […]
Make Someone Happy – Take Buzby Huawei!
Reading Time: 5 minutes Little did I know that I was carrying a time bomb in my back pocket. It’s a Huawei P9, a smart little phone (forgive the pun!) whose makers have the potential to cause a lot of us a lot of trouble. Gone are the days when we had to phone the local butcher to make […]
Why It’s Time For The UK To Leave The European Union
Reading Time: 5 minutes In times gone by, the European Union was something that was never mentioned in rural England, despite its continuous presence. Like a morning mist that never lifts, the scent of the EU lingered daily above the Yorkshire dales, well into the afternoon before briefly disappearing, only to return with a vengeance at dusk. Since the […]
If Jeremy Corbyn’s The Answer To Brexit, What The Hell Was The Question?
Reading Time: 4 minutes The Labour priority is to negotiate a trading relationship with the European Union to protect jobs and to defend the living standards that we have through regulation, but also to make sure that the jobs in the manufacturing industry and in food supply chains are protected. – Jeremy Corbyn For a man who […]
“Brexit Illusions” – By Lewis Carroll And The Two Ronnies
Reading Time: 3 minutes I don’t know whether British citizens living in the heart of the EU should feel embarrassed, bemused, ashamed, or totally indifferent to the Brexit illusions going on in Westminster. The Brexit saga seems to be more of a cross between a Lewis Carroll fantasy and a sketch performed by the Two Ronnies, than a debate […]
EUROPE: Les Cinqs Salopards Du Brexit Et Les 17 Millions d’Abrutis Qui Les Ont Crus!
Reading Time: 3 minutes J’ai fait exprès d’incorporer le titre du petit commentaire qui est apparu dans le Charlie Hebdo du 20 mars dernier, et qui faisait allusion à cinq petits chenapans qui ont fait chavirer tout un pays. En fait, le Royaume-Uni – et plus précisément l’Angleterre – n’a fallu qu’un petit coup de pousse de nos salopards pour […]
Meet The Five Bad Boys Of Brexit
Reading Time: 6 minutes The latest mishap to hit Theresa May’s vision of Brexit tells us one fundamental truth. It’s a truth that none of us men can escape, and may be hard for us to swallow. The fact is that it’s always women who are asked to clean up after we bad boys have left a dreadful mess. […]
Brexit Is Brexit, And Marmite Is Marmite!
Reading Time: 3 minutes How dare they! How could they! And who are the traitors buying this unsavoury mix? It is a mix that defies what I am and where I come from. There are not many things that I have treasured since I left England in 1984, but Christmas pudding, Manchester City, and Marmite figure high up on […]
