A Chicken Heads to Ukraine to Offer Support
Now that’s a first!! The question is though; in what capacity? However the word capacity implies capability/performance so in this situation I’d suggest a more accurate question; in what form? As a chicken tikka masala perhaps, or as a KFC style chicken….the options are endless. The fact of the matter […]

The mess continues in what I call No. 10 Drowning Street and no one really knows who’s driving the country; a completely incompetent/immature child or a dysfunctional cabinet or a confused party scrambling for position not knowing what’s coming next. PintPal Johnson as the name I coined for the CHILD […]

It seems from latest announcement by the chap occupying No. 10 that EU talks are over and we’re in the No Deal territory. I’d say in my opinion as a British/Pro-European not represented by this current mob in charge in Britain that no further EU effort /action should be taken […]
