That sound? It's the patter of tiny rat feet on the hawsers as they flee from the good ship Tory.....

Their lack of courage is exceeded only by their lack of any kind of morality. They've reduced the UK to a rotting hulk. And now they'll all get six months' severance pay at our expense while they find cosy directorships to settle into.

"We must control our borders" they said. What is the point when our infrastructure is almost completely owned by foreign investors?

Children in the UK have rickets from malnutrition due to poverty, but we're paying for Cameron to loll around in luxury.

Once upon a time, long long ago, you might have expected to read this in a national newspaper - the Sunday Times under Harold Evans, or the Guardian until a few years ago when it went corporate, or the Daily Mirror (which was on the side of Labour and Labour was on the side of the working class everywhere)

Now only people like Byline Times and Bella Caledonia dare speak the truth.

I'm sorry for the thousands of workers losing their jobs but for ?
Nada. Zilch. Zip. May the wheels of Karma roll right over him.

are rapacious b*stards with sociopathic tendencies. Boycott them.

And may their executives rot in hell for what they've done.

Spare me the " supports thousands of rural jobs" schtick, please. Those jobs are mostly seasonal, poorly paid and precarious. Were those moors not regularly burned and devastated as part of the grouse shooting business, they'd regenerate, improve the climate and become an environment where better, reliable jobs would thrive.

Mug an oldie in the street and you'll go to jail. Defraud them of their pensions? Suspended sentence.

Who says white collar crime doesn't pay?

Read and weep. If the only popular music available is anodyne algorithm - generated pap that enriches yet another bloated multi national corporation , we will all be the poorer. Music, all is one of the . It's not a product.

Scotland - it's time to cut ourselves loose from England. Parliament is now officially a joke in the worst possible taste. This collision of historical precedent and politics is just not working.

Call me a cynic but watch, now, for articles about the danger of woodburning stoves.
