http://boreofvenice.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The Bore of Venice. Friday, July 24, 2015. The Weekly Diary: A Week in the Life of Labour. The Labour Party faces a crunch moment: does it oppose the Welfare Bill or abstain? Acting Leader, Harriet Harman, has called for an abstention because Labour, in the face of an unexpected Tory majority, is more concerned with taking stabs in the dark to see whether this was why people didn’t vote their way, than it is with representing the people who actually did vote for them. 8220;Not to worry,” says Marga...

The Bore of Venice. Saturday, July 4, 2015. The Weekly Diary: 29th June - 3rd July. Although, today is the first day of Wimbledon. So, we’ll probably talk about that instead. Exciting news from the world of opera. Well, sort of. At last night’s first night of Guillaume Tell. By Rossini at Covent Garden, there was booing mid-performance from outraged Frasiers and Nileses at an unexpected rape scene, which involved nudity and violence. Well, of course it did. It was a rape scene. One of the reasons for the...

The Bore of Venice. Saturday, June 27, 2015. The Weekly Diary: 22nd - 26th June. David Cameron has been a majority Prime Minister for almost seven weeks now, and the time has come for him to start coming clean on the £12bn of welfare cuts. Whilst he has always been honest about the figure, he has been somewhat evasive on the detail. When I say “somewhat evasive”, I actually mean “more evasive than Peter was when asked if he knew Jesus”. A lot of news to pick from today. There is an extraordinary migr...

The Bore of Venice. Saturday, January 11, 2014. She will come as a vision in the meadow:. As the summer's evening sun. Trickles down the westward sky. She will come gently in her loveliness,. She will come as a bright day's warmth. Amidst the winter's chill;. As the February hour that steals. Another minute's light from the dark. As a peace after the tumult,. As birdsong in the spring's morn,. As a brook in the fastness of the forest,. As the whispered promise of dawn,. She will come,. As we move through...

The Bore of Venice. Saturday, July 18, 2015. The Weekly Diary: July 13th - 17th. Trouble at mill for Labour. No change there then, but today’s particular example concerns benefit cuts. Acting Leader Harriet Harman has said that Labour will oppose measures including cuts to Child Benefit and the reduction of the Benefit Cap, saying “We cannot simply say to the public you were wrong at the election”. This means they will vote on a law which will not effect Scotland, and on an issue that Nicola Sturgeon spe...

The Bore of Venice. Sunday, June 21, 2015. The Weekly Diary: 15th - 19th June. Turns out the United Kingdom Independence Party know bugger all about unity. What excitement there has been. Some people have lived to fight another day, whilst others have been cruelly cast aside, perhaps never to be seen again, and even I’m not sure whether I’m talking about the Season Finale of Game of Thrones. Or the Labour Leadership Race. There are more Republicans running for President than FIFA Officials running from t...
