Unitary havoc
I understand the five little district councils in Oxfordshire are plotting with some neighbouring districts to have Oxfordshire County Council scrapped with some responsibilities transferred to the NHS and others to the districts which propose to form four unitary district … Continue reading
Boris shows his mettle
Well done, Boris! I am sure this was not an easy decision either in terms of your personal relationship with DC or your ambitions in politics but I am so glad you are voting Leave. I am quite sure you … Continue reading
Dress down Britain
We are becoming a scruffy nation, led by the media. When I turn to Channel 4 News at 7:00 pm on a weekday, mainly to avoid the dreadful The One Show on BBC1, I expect a bunch of lefties to be talking … Continue reading

Cameron’s Campaigners
When I read that DC’s mother and aunt had joined him in campaigning against cuts to Oxfordshire’s children’s services, I was unsure whether to be amused or angry and I think the result was a mixture of both. Mainly anger … Continue reading
Cameron’s clash with constituencies
David Cameron seems to have stirred up a hornet’s nest when he told his MPs to ignore the views of their constituencies in deciding how to vote in the EU referendum and I am not surprised. A parliamentary election campaign needs two things: … Continue reading
