Early this year, I saw the above image as part of a post on Social Media. It caught my attention because I live within the jurisdiction of Chelmsford City Council. I had not heard of Averil Price before, but then I don’t closely follow local news. I asked some friends about it but theyContinue reading “My First Freedom of Information Request”

Take Your Pick: Big Government or Society
People used to look out for their neighbours. People did favours for each other. People protected the vulnerable within their communities. Communities were small and close-knit. Then the Government introduced The Welfare State which destroyed that culture of looking out for your friends and neighbours. People now look to the Government to look after them.Continue reading “Take Your Pick: Big Government or Society”
Lockdowns: Freedom or Safety, You Decide
Lockdowns have made me realise there are 2 types of people: advocates for freedom and advocates for safety. I have been a lockdown sceptic since about May 2020. At one point last year I posted on Social Media Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote about freedom: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a littleContinue reading “Lockdowns: Freedom or Safety, You Decide”
Corporations are Undermining Democracy
Governments working hand-in-hand with Corporations is never a good idea. Both of these structures have a lot of power. In a well-functioning capitalist economy, each structure would be antagonistic to the other. Problems arise if the objectives of these functions start aligning with each other. Such alignment is not going to be healthy for democracy.Continue reading “Corporations are Undermining Democracy”
I’m Done With The Conservatives
I’m done with the Conservatives. 10 years now. They’ve had every chance to instill proper conservative policies and they have failed every time. They talk the talk and then nothing happens. The only worthwhile thing they have done was Brexit (and that was an accident). There is nothing else I expect them to deliver becauseContinue reading “I’m Done With The Conservatives”
A Robust Defence of Western Culture
Immigration is the battleground for Western Culture. Leftists say there’s no such thing as white culture. Therefore, there’s nothing to protect from mass immigration. They feel we need to import culture. I can’t decide whether such Leftists are ignorant or lying to further their own warped ideology. A lot of both, probably. However, to counterContinue reading “A Robust Defence of Western Culture”
Live Right, Vote Left
I am often confused by the inconsistency between people’s lifestyles and their politics. The inconsistency is most beautifully exhibited by left wing voters. I have some some nice middle class friends where at least one member of the couple – usually the woman – is left wing. They exhibit all the traits of social conservativesContinue reading “Live Right, Vote Left”
18 Reasons Why Remainers Cling To The EU
I always knew that I did not understand why Remainers set such store in the EU. I wondered what were Remainers seeing that I couldn’t. This bothered me. I wanted to understand. By understanding I would be better placed to debate Remainers. As such, shortly after The Referendum I started reading anti-Brexit articles in TheContinue reading “18 Reasons Why Remainers Cling To The EU”
The Journey Begins
Thanks for joining me! I started this blog principally so that I could publish my argument for leaving the EU. After setting up this account, I started thinking of other things I wanted to write about. I mainly write about The Left (criticisms), or Government incompetence or tales of hypocrisy. The culture wars are alsoContinue reading “The Journey Begins”
