A low turnout today will favour Farage

This article is dedicated to Dave. He’s a good guy, but he told me this week that he doesn’t vote, he can’t see the point, he doesn’t think it makes any difference. Dave – and all others who have the same view (and sadly, there are many of them) – need to be reminded of […]

Remainers unite! Divided we fail

The entire Brexit fiasco has sunk our democracy, leading the country to disaster. Yes, Brexit is […]
