United for the Kingdom

Good afternoon everyone. How are we all doing? I guess I should start by apologising in advance, for I am indeed about to bore you with a politically related piece (I'm not sure which you'd prefer: politics or religion?). Click 'back' on your browser now if you'd prefer to return to reading about what [enter random chav's name] got up to last night, and how far they got with the 'hottest guy' in the club because you won't find such trivial nonsense here. I've been inspired to write about something Continue reading [...]

Clegg in action – And by gosh did he make a good impression.

Wow! A political rambling?! It's about bloody time. I know, I've been very lapse of late and I think this is probably the first proper ramble I've had since the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.

Even if not, I just thought I'd give a quick analysis (wrong word perhaps?) of this week's Labour victory in the Oldham by-election. I actually feel quite guilty. Being a member of the Lib Dems I get invited to all sorts of meetings and really cool things of the political type, one such thing included Continue reading [...]

It’s been a long day, so let’s round things up.

As the title says, it indeed has been a very long day and one filled with drama, both personal and political. I've moved house which, let's face it, is never an easy task especially when my mother is involved. After only two hours of living in the new flat she was on to the landlord informing him that we were locked in because the front door lock was jammed and could not be opened - a great start to a new life! Another personal drama; I had the clippers used on my hair for the first time in about Continue reading [...]
