PRESIDENT TRiUMPh
If the BBC – or ‘Auntie Beeb’ as we in the UK refer to the institution, affectionately – was in mourning after the outcome of the European Union Referendum, she’ll be positively suicidal this morning. Almost choking on his words, James Naughtie, the BBC’s special correspondent in Washington, has just announced – at 0735 hrs […]
THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Ah well, for us political anoraks, it’s going to be a long night. When it came to the EU Referendum, my head said Remain, my heart said Leave – and I voted Leave. When it comes to the US Presidential Election, my head says Clinton and something in me (it’s not my heart) says Trump. […]
EU REFERENDUM: WHAT IF REMAIN?
The British Government’s View In recent weeks we’ve experienced the somewhat unedifying spectacle of a (fractured) British government cajoling and coercing its citizens to vote to support the ‘ever closer union’ of 28 nations becoming a European superstate. That superstate (today in the guise of the European Union) is, and would continue to be governed by […]
EU REFERENDUM: BREXIT – THE MOVIE
Please pour yourself a beer, or a glass of your favourite plonk, tune in and watch this. You might not agree with the message, but you need to understand what you’ll be forsaking if you decide to vote Remain in the EU Referendum … Please do your fellow countrymen a favour and share this post
EU REFERENDUM: HANDS UP ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR OF THE EU!
Brussels is Being Bombed This is a quick one-off article outside of the series of four posts I’m publishing within the EU Referendum debate. Today, Brussels is being bombed. Brussels is being bombed because the laws of European Union member nations – which include most of the laws of the UK these days – are […]

Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission Post # 1-of-4 on the subject of the UK’s EU Referendum: how will you decide which way to vote? A Punter’s Guide. Who Speaks for You? Hello and welcome to Moraymint Chatter. I’m assuming you’re here because you saw the notice I placed in […]
IMMIGRATION TO THE UK – THE FACTS
As the debate (if you can seriously call it that) about the rate of migration onto the shores of our relatively small island becomes ever more frenetic, it’s always worth staying focused on the facts of the matter – which are pretty horrendous regardless of your political, philosophical or religious persuasion. Migration Watch – an independent, […]
IMMIGRATION AT RECORD HIGH (AGAIN)
Note: the image above is a mistake. The word ‘No’ should be inserted after ‘UK’ and before ‘Border’. So, last year saw the addition of about one Coventry’s worth of new citizens to the population of the UK; some 318,000 people. Our nation is grappling to accommodate and provide work and public services for one […]
800 YEARS OF MAGNA CARTA
Warning: Controversial Comment Today, the Daily Telegraph reported, ‘Horrifying animal slaughter in [a] halal abattoir’ in Yorkshire. If you have a strong stomach then click on the link at the bottom of this post to witness a little bit of hell on earth. Now, what I don’t understand is this. This year marks the 800th […]
JE SUIS CHARLIE
What on earth has happened in France this week? One of the biggest issues faced by my children’s generation is this.

How do we deal with […]
