The Raft Journal: The Gambler
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-gambler.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Sunday, 19 January 2014. This vid would never get on TV now because of the references to cigareets and whisky, but it has a good lyric for UKIP councillor, David Silvester, who will be feeling sore at UKIP disciplining him for giving an interview when he was told not to. Best then not to get in to an unwinnable argument instead of sticking to the main thing: we have got to get back control of our own law, borders and negotiated terms of trade. Woman on a Raft.

Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Wednesday, 15 January 2014. Those portraits in full (1). Woman on a Raft. Wednesday, January 15, 2014 7:14:00 pm. I know this chap. Its the same Yorkshire politician/secondhand car dealer in two of his many disguises. One regularly hawks ringers at auction and the other specialises in backdated Insurance and MOT certificates. Friday, January 17, 2014 6:27:00 pm. Woman on a Raft. Not to forget his exploits as a poet and troubadour:. I want to honey-glase you,. Veste...

The Raft Journal: Who writes these adverts?
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2013/10/who-writes-these-adverts.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Friday, 18 October 2013. Who writes these adverts? The Story of Heston's Marvelous Mince. After that 'magic bean' recipe with the cockerel's gonads, I'm not sure I want to know this. Oh well, if you insist. Woman on a Raft. Friday, October 18, 2013 6:30:00 pm. His recipes are the stuff of originality and stability. Each new inspiration sickens with the same consistency. Friday, October 18, 2013 8:06:00 pm. Saturday, October 19, 2013 1:14:00 am. Man in a Shed. The I...

The Raft Journal: It's a bus, not a Tardis
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2014/12/its-bus-not-tardis.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Monday, 8 December 2014. It's a bus, not a Tardis. To anybody with a scrap of common sense, it is obvious that a bus is a finite space which is smaller on the inside than the outside. This means there is a limit to how many people you can cram in, and that the dominant operating mode is first-come, first-served, without regard to who most needs the ride or who is doing the most important journey. Most people seem to be misled by the irrelevancies; was there other s...

The Raft Journal: How to Introduce Rationing
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-introduce-rationing_17.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Monday, 17 February 2014. How to Introduce Rationing. Politicians and civil servants have never forgotten the thrill of total war and the power it gave them to direct all the goods and services in the entire economy. They created artificial shortages to magnify the effects of war so that when rationing was introduced the public saw the coupons as smoothing out supply and accepted them. It was the manipulation of perception. But it may also be that a perfect disaste...

The Raft Journal: Freebie - The supremacy of European Law
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2014/06/freebie-supremacy-of-european-law.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Monday, 2 June 2014. Freebie - The supremacy of European Law. David Cameron and other MPs think they can negotiate with European law. It is a very old delusion caused by not being bothered to buy even an entry-level primer. During the 1980s Mrs Thatcher threw millions of pounds down a series of drains called Factortame. European law takes precedence over English law. Politicians should check what the European Court of Justice said half a century ago; they need not ...

The Raft Journal: Remembrance 2014

Woman on a Raft. IF I should die, think only this of me:. That theres some corner of a foreign field. That is forever England. There shall be. In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;. A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,. Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,. Woman on a Raft. I went in late Se...

The Raft Journal: It makes yer fink
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2013/12/it-makes-yer-fink.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Wednesday, 18 December 2013. It makes yer fink. The film about Nelson Mandela comes out and before the credits have rolled they announce his death. The drama about The Great Train Robbery runs on BBC and just before they screen it the death of Ronnie Biggs is announced. Hope they don't make a show about me, not even if I'm to be played by Dame Helen Mirren. Woman on a Raft. Piers Morgan: The Musical. You know it makes sense. ;). They could call it The Three Stooges.

The Raft Journal: Vibrant
http://womanonaraft.blogspot.com/2014/02/vibrant.html
Anchored just off the Coast of Reality. Saturday, 22 February 2014. I am prepared to apply this word 'vibrant'. To a few places where one can feel the economic energy bubbling up but not. A bus garage outside a station. A gum-speckled area of block paving between shops which are half-closed because nobody wants to walk half a mile from the car park or pay £3 for the privilege of looking at a pile of plastic baskets. A big supermarket, not even one the size of a dozen football pitches. Woman on a Raft.
