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 […]
Today, Christmas Day, I picked up the book – Sapiens: A Brief History Of Mankind – that I have been reading for most of the year. The Ericle is indeed not the swiftest of readers but, even by my standards, I have spent a great deal of time with this […]
21.12.16. Dear Eric, welcome to the Liberal Democrats! I want to thank you for giving your support to the Party. The Liberal Democrats are fighting for an open, optimistic, liberal, diverse, and tolerant Britain…….Tim Gordon, Chief Executive of the Liberal Democrats.
Jo Grimond, Leader of The Liberal Party 1956-1967.
If the LibDems […]
[The Ericle recently posted a piece (see here) on this subject. This week, the leader in The Spectator was exactly on this theme. I am re-publishing it here for my reader, who may not be a subscriber.]
Vote Leave was outward-looking, pro-trade and globally minded; Trump’s campaign was the opposite

ɪˈvɛnt/ event. Noun. A thing that happens or takes place, especially one of importance.

Sub-titled: Everything you need to know about football but were afraid to ask.
Psychotherapists love to hear about their clients’ dreams. Mine is no exception. Last week I had two dreams that involved the England football team. As a consequence of this, my Thursday session revolved around the topic of the role that football […]
The subject of my blog piece today will not be ‘news’ to my younger reader; though, the fact that I’ve become an avid fan of This American Life may be. This American Life is an hour-long radio show, originating out of the Public Radio station WBEZ in Chicago. Its content is documentary in nature […]
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 […]
My Reader kindly commented on my most recent post – Tempus Fugit. Again. (here) – with the famous quote: “Those who cannot learn from history are condemned to repeat it”. You may recall that my post, referring to my electronic daily scrapbook on Pinterest (here), considered how the major news stories […]

😨 about Facebook? You should be, but for the right reasons!
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 […]
