Britain may have kicked off the Industrial Revolution, but our days as the economic powerhouse of the world are long passed, coming to a close round about a hundred years ago, give or take a few. The Empire on Which The Sun Never Set (ours) withered and died in the changing world order of the twentieth century, and we found our pre-eminent position... Read More →

When the unholy alliance of Tory and Liberal Democrats were voted in no one knew what to expect. Even the experts on Sky and BBC News were unsure what would come from the surprise result of the election. Both parties were proclaiming that cuts need to be made to lower our deficit. You would have been forgiven for thinking that these cuts would be confined... Read More →
