"The Ericle Has Spoken"
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED. Apparently this is a picture of Karen Pierce, the British ambassador to the UN, addressing the Security Council at yesterday’s debate on the alleged use by Syria of chemical weapons:
– is this how an ambassador dresses these days?
– is it so […]
When Ken Livingstone made a prosaic – but totally insensitive – point that, because Hitler had espoused the concept of German Jews being transported to Palestine he was acting like a Zionist, he was rightly suspended from the Labour party. (Some feel that he should have been expelled.) When the UK’s ‘Joke’ Foreign […]
2017 and all that.

The Ericle is by nature a positive thinker and I am not prepared to consign any year, let alone 2017, to the dustbin of history. Moreover, I am continually surprised how some/many/most people view their world in terms of a status quo and then project forward in a straight line, inevitably foreseeing doom […]
Have a Good One! Hope to see you on The Other Side….

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 […]
The Ericle considers himself very fortunate to have been away from the UK for the Referendum Leave decision. That is not to say that I did not follow the results, the aftermath and the massive over-reactions that they excited, with great interest. I say ‘fortunate’ only in as much as having declared myself as […]
As a responsible citizen, The Ericle finds himself sorely vexed as to which way he will cast his vote in the forthcoming EU referendum.
In the long week since the June 23rd ‘date with destiny’ was announced, I have been trying to bend my head around on what it is exactly that we are […]
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 […]
My reader may have noticed that I am lending my very modest support to Jeremy Corbyn in his bid to lead The Labour Party. In fact, I have joined the party – as opposed to paying £3 to vote – in order to carry on supporting him, if he wins. Some of those […]

Anti-semitism & The Labour Party
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 […]
