Grant Shapps Tells Public It Will All Go Back To Normal

Grant Shapps Tells Public It Will All Go Back To Normal This is an interview g iven by Grant Shapps , transport secretary during which he muses on the notion of sending kids back to school in June. Your government is putting money and power ahead of lives. The soft soaping of the questions doesn't help to get to the truth of the matter. There is one reason they want to get children back to school and it has nothing to do with educating our children. They need them to go back to school to free up Mum and Dad to go back to work but more than that when your kids are going to school and there is a routine everything APPEARS to be 'normal'. If it appears normal people will start to believe it is and return to what they have known their entire lives, work. At no point when this ghoul is talking about kids going back to school does he acknowledge or warn of the real issue. He couches what he says in terms of children being safe from Covid-19. Whilst as a parent my...

The Left Wing Information Project is Open for Business

Hi there, Have you ever been trying to find some information about Left Wing politics that you just couldn't find? ​ Found yourself with a ton of disparate links that have bits and pieces of what you want but not quite what you need? ​ Been trying to get a picture of what group is what school or discipline of left-wing politics but not able to piece it together? ​ Yeah? Me too! ​ This project is an attempt to provide a central repository for the left online no matter the 'school' or 'discipline'. This subreddit is not the actual repository but a way to build a team that can work together to ultimately design, develop, deliver and maintain the 'library' itself. ​ I appreciate that this is a big undertaking. So, it is not something that I could do alone, nor would I want to. Any good central source of information usually comes from a dedicated team that all have something unique to offer whilst working towards a common goal but over quite a period ...

Fear, Terror, Horror: Current Reality for an NHS Family - Let's NOT go back to 'normal'

Fear, terror and horror seem to be the norm. At least if you are an NHS family.  Fear at what could happen to your loved one, the terror as these thoughts creep up on you. The horror of what awful outcome could await. Any family member of someone working for the NHS will happily tell you how proud they are of them. They are smart, strong, confident, diligent and of course, caring. These all go to make up the person that you love, that you admire that you are so, so very proud of. Is that what makes us the most proud? Well, it would be a lie to say it didn't go a long way but these wonderful people do a demanding job, over long hours, in not great conditions for money that they could earn in other, less demanding roles. Above those remarkable qualities there are other things that make them stand out, that make us so proud of them. Selflessness, bravery and the fact that their vocation is given to anyone that needs it and it is given freely to their community. Our children have the m...

Party Political Puffin's Podcast is up an running!

It has been difficult to realise the original vision of what the channel would look like. Originally, the thought was that a 'Daily News' article would go up on YouTube every day, giving an overview of the days news. The channel would also provide a weekly 'Opinion' piece at the weekend. The 'enthusiastic' view of being able to get this done was just that, enthusiastic, but it wasn't realistic. With the channel just starting and having to be organised, the fact that I am just one person, for the moment and all the technicalities of getting pieces up, there just wasn't the time to do all of this. As those of you that have see the YouTube videos will be aware, they go quite in depth in an attempt to cater for those of us that do not spend every waking minute reading, listening to or watching some sort of news content. I wanted to make sure that if people didn't quite get some of the nuance or terminology or background to a piece then they woul...
