SOMETIMES you read an article that is so preposterous that you re-read it to make sure you hadn’t misunderstood something.

While not disagreeing that Sunak has proved to be a hopeless […]

Use it or lose it – the global battle to keep cash

EVERY day is a bank holiday in the East Sussex town of Bexhill-on-Sea. That’s because every major bank branch has closed. A friend who distributes posters to retail outlets in the town, stating ‘cash welcome here’, often writes to any businesses that decide to accept card payments only.  Last week he received this rationale from […]

Rachel Reeves and the Thatcher dilemma

RACHEL Reeves, Labour’s shadow chancellor, has described today’s Britain as reminiscent of 1979.  For younger readers, in 1979 the UK was broke, inflation was rampant, nationalised industries were on strike, militant unions weren’t collecting rubbish or burying the dead, there was no investment and there were three million unemployed.

Nigel Farage Confirms the Obvious – HotAir

The transnational elite went bonkers when Trump, at a campaign rally, mused that if Europe didn’t step up and meet its agreed-upon defense obligations to NATO, then Russia could do whatever it wanted.  It was classic Trump. An outrageous statement that made people sit up and take notice. And it worked.  The MSM and the […]

Some records you want to beat, while others are a badge of shame.  Guess which Biden has acquired? Joe Biden is making history.
