If you can’t – or don’t want to – believe the cancer at the heart of Labour Party, please read this pamphlet handed out by the counter-demonstrators (“Labour Against The Witch Hunt”) at yesterday’s protest against anti-semitism within the party. These are the views not of a random rabble but of organised card-carrying members of […]
The Ericle, in both his personal & political personae, is a keen user of social media in general and Facebook in particular. I think it is not unfair to say that I spend at least 30 minutes of every day on Facebook. I do not regard this activity as trivial or a waste of […]

Hello
I am writing to let you know that I am leaving The Labour Party and that I have cancelled my monthly direct debit subscription.
I joined the […]
Just when you think the FIFA World Cup saga could not drag ‘The Beautiful Game’ any lower, another revelation sets a new low. As if it wasn’t bad enough that Russia & Qatar bought the 2018 & 2022 Finals, and that much of FIFA officialdom lined their pockets by-the-by, it now transpires that […]
The Ericle has become quite exercised by the experiences of the Offspring, as they try to gain a fingernail-hold on employment in the current economic climate. Over the last couple of years, I have witnessed their oft-exploitation by way of ‘internships’ and ‘work-trials’. To be fair, some of these have been straight up […]
Mrs Ericle & I, having been invited to a wedding in Nice on June 28th, decided to turn the Happy Event into an extended break in the area. Accordingly, a British Airways return ticket was purchased departing Blighty on June 19th & returning July 1st. Cost: £127 per ticket. Unfortunately we had overlooked […]
Last year it was ‘Go Home’ poster vans cruising our streets, yesterday came a package of miserly unpleasant Government proposals aimed at dealing with ‘the immigration problems’ facing the UK. According to The Institute for Public Policy research, when one takes into account the 2.2m Brits living abroad in the EU, the UK is […]
In my Inbox this week appeared an email from a close relative, (a holocaust survivor, now living in the USA), with a link to ‘England’s No. 1 Song’. (This is the link here). I hope & trust that he sent me this with an unwritten: “WTF?”, but I suspect […]
Sickening stuff in today’s papers. Tomorrow’s Panorama news programme, trailed in today’s Sunday Times, tells of three Labour peers revealing their willingness to accept cash to use their influence to push for new laws to benefit particular business interests. Their is an audio recording Lord (Jack) Cunningham, the former Cabinet Office minister, haggling for a payment […]

21st Century Highwaymen
According to Wikipedia:
The Great Age Of Highwaymen was the period from the Restoration in 1660 to the death of Queen Anne in 1714. What favoured them most was the lack of governance and absence of a police force. Most of the highwaymen held up travellers and took their money. Some had channels by […]
