UK Crony Capitalism: Pork Barrel Politics
The 2019 Towns Fund made unhappy reading for those who believe public money should not be used to promote Party interests.

Why Boris Johnson Is Even More Dangerous Than Trump By Patrick Cockburn
Johnson’s supporters say that one should not take too seriously his overheated and mendacious campaign rhetoric, implying that he will adopt a more moderate approach in office.

Moral capitalism? What an insult to our intelligence! By William Bowles
PM Cameron’s call for a “moral capitalism” would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic and hypocritical. After all, hasn’t it been capitalism’s alleged occupation of the ‘moral high ground’ what they now choose to call ‘humanitarian intervention’ that has been used as a justification for mass murder and genocide? But plainly the millions killed… Continue reading
