  • Drivel

    I kept hanging on, waiting for the panel to talk some sense, to actually reflect on the causes of the challenges the UK faces. But no, more virtue signaling and harking back. Zero understanding of the real world and peoples struggles. Zero understanding of the utter rejection of 'progressive' politics the US has chosen. They don't realise why the UK is circling the drain and the USA is booming.

  • Never change.

    The cast changes over the years, but the spirit continues. As long as Andrew Harrison is there with his reassuring Dad humour, all will be well with the world. An island of sanity.
