Very British (Political) Subjects: Politics Today
http://verybritishsubjects.blogspot.com/2009/05/politics-today.html
Sunday, May 31. A Populus poll for The Times. Published yesterday has the Tories on 30 percent for the euros with UKIP in second place on 19, relegating Labour to third place on 16. The Lib-Dems get 12 percent, the Greens poll 10 and the BNP are on 5 percent (eight percent in the North of England). What is interesting about this is that Cameron's speech. That Cameron meant what he said, doubt that was – it appears – entirely justified from comments in The Daily Telegraph. Thus, as suspected all along, th...

Very British (Political) Subjects: A very British Review
http://verybritishsubjects.blogspot.com/2009/06/very-british-review.html
Saturday, June 27. A very British Review. The odd thing about the American defeat – if such a word can be used – in Vietnam is that it came about through internal problems, not military defeat. The Viet Cong were beaten. The North Vietnamese Army was beaten. The odd thing about the British "victory" in Southern Iraq is … well, it was a defeat. Worse, it was a defeat that came about because of flawed political and military decisions, taken not by the men on the spot, but men in Whitehall. The troops in Ir...

Very British (Political) Subjects: Enough is Enough
http://verybritishsubjects.blogspot.com/2009/05/enough-is-enough.html
Friday, May 15. Fact: MPs regarded their additional cost allowances as an "entitlement", following which a system was set up to enable them to claim them. They represented a covert – and largely tax-free – pay rise implemented on the sly by a legislature which did not have the bottle to make the public case for higher salaries. What will not be addressed – and nor is it being addressed – is the competence of MPs and the performance of Parliament as an institution. Egregious examples of it...Thus do we sa...

Very British (Political) Subjects: The Voters
http://verybritishsubjects.blogspot.com/2009/06/voters.html
Tuesday, June 2. There has been a great deal of comment – also some huge "entertainment" – over the details of MPs' expence claims in the UK media. If the allowances are treated as a salary supplement and thus part of the overall remuneration package, the claims take on a wholly different complexion. That, in itself, is bad enough, but what is really offensive is that MPs then created a tax-free status. It is this cavalier arrogance of our political classes is a message that voters will not forget.
