Yesterday was one of those days where trying to catch up with comments on the blog was hard enough; doing another blog as the day progressed proved impossible. Maybe that's what happens when you have an empliyment.
As a result it took me until the evning to look at Theresea May's much heralded corporate governance reforms. And then it was hard work to find them. No workers on the board. A pathetic regime of voting on directors' remuneration. And nothing of consequence on disclosure.
Yes, I know it is a consultation. And I know that it is claimed that this is the start of a process. But that process began when Theresa May promised big reform when standing for election to be leader of the Tories. And now we have nothing of note.
Still, compared to the disasters for which history will recall her delivering a watered down fudge should be considered a good day for her.

For sure. I tremble. If I were younger, or had no family ties, I would be away somewhere. Maybe Germany. What can we do, we of the moderate left, remainer tendency?
Unfair to fudge, one of the delicious treats I enjoy. Could we find another word for this, botch is one as arrangements of this kind almost invariably lead to it. Muddle would be accurate. Then there are cock-eyed, codswallop and calamity. Or why not the brutal reality of deceit or deception?
As I have reluctantly pointed out, lying is in these days. And it works. It is after all a ‘post-truth’ world.
It is normal to seek solace at moments like this in a futurised history. But it does not help here in the ‘now’. Not really.
But the key question for the Left and all progressive is this: Can we lie in order to get to a truth?
And the left don’t lie? I think a history lesson might be in order!
Why do you think George Orwell attacked Socialism in 1984 and also reached out to children with the cautionary tale in the Animal Farm?

We all know all politicians can lie
But what influence do you think the hard left gave in the UK right now? And please don’t call Corbyn hard left: his policies are like Miliband and Balls and Hammond is adopting them
I strongly suspect you are wasting my readers’ time and linking David Icke is some evidence to suggest that
Please provide a reasoned argument or stop posting
