My valued UK reader will be very aware of the row that has been rumbling on, over the past few months, around Anti-Semitism within the Labour Party. Ever since Jeremy Corbyn’s ascendancy to the leadership, his long history of cavorting with extremists has brought the matter into question. Further fuelled via asinine proclamations on […]
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.

(Some feel that he should have been expelled.) When the UK’s ‘Joke’ Foreign […]
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 […]
This is the first time The Ericle has re-published a piece from another source. It comes from THE SLOG, a brilliant example of what a blogging should be, written by John Ward with whom I worked in AdLand in the first half of the 1980s. John expresses, in his own inimitable style, many of the […]
Late Saturday I wrote the piece below on my voting intentions. I put it aside upon learning of horrendous events that occurred on London Bridge at 10 pm that night. My first inclination was not to post it at all, seeing it as being if not an irrelevance then unnecessary. However Theresa May’s remarks yesterday, […]

BREXIT: It’s not too late to stop this MADNESS!
Almost 50 years ago, I well remember seeing the Ken Russell film, The Witches (1971), in which group madness takes over the inhabitants of a town resulting in the burning on the stake of the central character of the film – a priest, played by Oliver Reed. The film was based on a 1952 […]
