I haven’t written anything for over a year. Don’t ask me why, as I love writing and emptying my head to the world. My last post was all about the lead up to the General Election of May 2015. It turned into an event resembling a circus and was fought using blame, fear, accusations and […]

The Way The Global Tax Regime Works
Google boss Eric Schmidt defended the way his company and others have paid so little tax on such very substantial profits by stating: All of us are operating in a very, very longstanding tax regime which was set up for various reasons that don’t necessarily make sense to me or anyone else. But they are […]
Nick Robinson Headline
I am not sure much thought can have been given to this Nick Robinson headline on the BBC News website – but it made me laugh!
Just A New Year Thought
With the arrival of another New Year it’s that time when we often take stock of our lives and of the state of the world around us. While watching an old Queen concert the other evening, on BBC, it struck me that the words of their song Is This The World We Created? are still […]

I really didn’t want to like what prime minister David Cameron said yesterday about the need for benefit reforms but the more I read, the more I was surprised to find myself agreeing with some of his reasoning. Normally when a member of this government starts talking ‘benefits’, it is to paint a bleak picture […]
Not Many New Friends Are ‘Liking’ Facebook
If something sounds too good to be true, then it normally is, which segues nicely to the sale of shares in social networking site Facebook exactly a week ago. The internet is a mystery to many of us but if there is one thing that has been proved since its inception, it’s that a fool […]
Are We Just Feeding The Madness?
If you ever needed proof of what a mad mad world we live in, you only had to watch last night’s BBC news bulletin on TV. The top story concerned the present crisis in Ethiopia and the plight of the thousands who are likely to die of malnutrition over the coming months, due mainly […]
