Theresa May Is Touchy About Brexit

06Jan17

Don’t let Theresa May catch you dissing Brexit! She’s got a zero tolerance approach to dealing with people who have a go at the way the government is handling this mess. Last month she declared war on a band of trouble-making Members of Parliament because they were planning to form an anti-Brexit backbench group. This […]

Power To The People?

12Nov16

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” That’s one of my favourite quotes from the American comedian, George Carlin.

Trumpeteers

20Oct16

I hope the opinion polls show there will be a landslide victory for Donald Trump. There are too many people in America right now who believe Trump will not get enough votes to be President. If the people who don’t want him to win think Hillary can stop him, they won’t vote and that could […]

Sink or Spin?

13Oct16

  Britain is all at sea! The British Government has invited plans for a successor to The Royal Yacht Britannia. Britannia wasn’t a “yacht” at all, it was an ocean going ship that was used exclusively by the Royal family. It was retired in 1997 because it cost too much to run. Around 100 Tory […]

In the book he talks about what he calls the ‘maturity continuum’ – the levels of dependency that demonstrate the relationship of the 7 habits. They are: Dependency Needing others to get what you want. – This is the […]
