Yes, we love this guy because he is seriously funny, and, apparently very frugal in his expenses claims. Which is excellent politics in my mind. However, if you are going to rant and rave like a crack dealer,and, it is clear he does think of himself as a hoodlum, then you must follow the rules. […]

David Cameron Is A Big Loser
David Cameron is beginning to look like a serious loser! He lost the 2010 election when he could not get an overall majority against a Labour party ran by a dour Scot who just called a pensioner a bigot. His Chancellor of the Exchequer is then booed by disabled athletes during the Para-Olympics 2012 marking […]
Road Map For Egypt
As a rabid democrat and pragmatic humanist it is strange siding with a military junta that has just taken over from the democratically elected President. But in this case it needed to be done because President Morsi was not protecting the minorities within his country. I maybe bias in that I believe religion should be […]
Mohamed Morsi As A Poker Player
As thousands of people head for Tahrir Square it is clear that Mohamed Morsi is in a crisis of his own making. As the first fairly elected leader of Egypt he should be looking to be the father of a democratic nation, instead he has 24 hours to quell the disquiet of the people and resist […]
Fantasist Of Poker
The problem of being involved in poker, pubs and online marketing is that you do end up dealing with a load of nutters, dreamers and plain downright weirdo’s. I would like to put myself in this category and probably include politicians. C’mon lets be honest when you play poker you are basically putting money on a turn of […]
George Osborne As A Poker Player
George Osborne as a poker player is a rather wicked thing to write about. Clearly he is out of his depth in the game of politics and as we know politics is poker for megalomaniacs, but the megalomaniacs need to be clever and he certainly is not. Why did he string his whole career to […]
Hillary Clinton As A Poker Player
To define Hillary Clinton as a poker player would be equivalent of describing Barbara Streisand as a singer of songs. Yes Hillary Clinton knows how to make moves and play her cards correctly, but she is a bit more than that. In fact she would be more like a chess Grand Master, rocket scientist and a […]
Bashar al-Assad As A Poker Player
The idea of a left wing government has a dynastic element always seemed like a wrong idea. Clearly there are more to the dynamics than meets the eye but hereditary rule is surely the one thing progressives are against? Anyway, Bashar al-Assad is a beneficiary of this abomination of an idea and it clearly shows. He […]
Ed Miliband as a Poker Player
Ed Miliband is a political figure and poker is a game of card. So these two are not same but in a scene these two are very much related. In poker no one can the card of opposite player and also in politics no one can see or read the mentality of their opposite political […]
Nancy Pelosi As A Poker Player
To say Nancy Pelosi loves power would be an understatement! All politicians love power if truth be told, the only difference with Nancy Pelosi is that she looks like she loves power. Not because it makes her look good and important but because she can do stuff. As a poker player Nancy Pelosi would be […]
