The saying goes history is written by the winners and Felix Dodd’s book certainly feels like it was written by those who won. It’s an entertaining read for old Young Liberal hacks like me and I commend it to you. Whether the machinations of the famous Janice versus Felix election for the Chairmanship of the […]

The Land – by way of tipping my hat to my Liberal friends!
THE LAND (Words: unknown Tune: Marching Through Georgia; Henry Clay Work) Sound the call for freedom boys, and sound it far and wide, March along to victory for God is on our side, While the voice of Nature thunders o’er the rising tide, “God gave the land to the people!” Chorus: The land, the land, […]
Linkybrains…
I always admired experts. Those people who really understand one thing in great depth. At times I’ve worried that I just don’t have whatever gene it is that allows me to be that smart about one thing. Frankly I say admire but I’ve often been jealous… life sucked being a generalist like me. There again […]
What if politics moved at the speed of technology and someone other than Labour sounded as though it offered a better future, asks Allan Biggar, Liberator Magazine Feb 2018
I joined the Liberal Party in 1979 having torn up my application to the Labour Party as I could not stomach the bigoted racist attitudes of the 1970s Labour and trade union movements. I simply could never have been a Conservative. My parents were in domestic service on a country estate in Northumberland – not […]
To proud to ask! A hidden problem
It’s been a while since I was actively involved in politics and campaigning but that’s about to change. In this messed up world one group of people I think get a rotten deal and missed out by the caring agencies and that’s men! In particular middle aged family men who have all their life kept […]
What a shambles! They can’t be serious…NO assessments of impact of BREXIT on UK?????
Apparently the UK Government haven’t carried out impact assessments on the impact of Brexit on our economy. Sorry… run that by me again…???….none! Given a teaching assistant isn’t allowed out of school to the zoo with a bunch of five year olds without a risk assessment let alone the acres of paperwork required by for example […]
Why Corbyn is Nick Clegg’s fault?
I joined the Liberal Party in 1979 having torn up my application to the Labour Party as I could not stomach the bigoted racist attitudes of the 1970’s Labour and Trade Union movements. I simply could never have been a Conservative. My parents were in domestic service on a country estate in Northumberland – […]
Why does the EU keep saying the don’t understand? More on the art of the deal
Why are we endlessly told the EU don’t understand the UK position and need more clarity? Perhaps if you were Mr Farage the answer is simple.. they are Johnny foreigners (worse French!) and just don’t understand English. Well perhaps not. When you’re negotiating being told by the other party that ‘they don’t understand’, can […]
Bah humbug!
I love Christmas… I really do… BUT! I often spend time hanging out in a local café. Working from home a lot sounds amazing but is as boring as watching paint drying in my view! I miss the company of people and the stimulation of an office. Try as they do my two Lucas terriers […]
