With only a few weeks till the UK general election, I thought it might be useful to do a series of, ahem, partisan blogs explaining exactly why you might want to vote for each party. If you’d like a more sensible view do check out Rick Edwards’ excellent new book ‘None Of The Above‘ which […]

I’m not an economist. Anyone that’s ever seen my bank balance will know that. I have always been a bigger fan of spending money rather than saving and investing it, and nor have I ever been that wise in what to spend it on either. Hence why my flat is filled with graphic novels and […]

I had big plans for pt 2 of this blog today, but as it happens I have little time to do some proper research and bestow you with awesome facts and figures. The reason for this is, much like a lovely repeat of this time last year, our flat is without internet while we swap […]
