British Things: Gavin Williamson……Where The Hell Do They Find These “Charming” Politicians?
The clip below speaks for itself in demonstrating not just the ignorance of a man in top job but the utter lack of experience / decorum particularly at a moment when we’re in crunch negotiations with the EU for a BREXIT deal. In fact what experience/track record does this charming […]

Stop Loi Sécurité Globale Ou Réaffirmer l’Insécurité Globale de Sécurité

We Must STOP Seeing the World with a Black & White Lens & Begin Seeing it In True Colours
Recently I’ve come to notice how Christmas movies (now that we’re approaching the season) have become – and possibly have always been – a true representation of a really White Christmas; in other words the main characters mostly being caucasian. Even parliaments are less representative of the composition of our […]

The EU’s Deafening Silence to the Assassination of Iran’s Nuclear Scientist is Loud, Clear and Sad
What we hear from EU leaders is plenty of talk of values and the rule of law. But it seems that these “traditions” are only applicable on certain ad hoc basis; in other words baseless. Now I am a big supporter of the EU project but I see many weaknesses […]

Going Absolutely Tango!

State of the Union: Poland & Hungary Busy Building Roadblocks in the EU
