A View (Some Miles Away) From The Greenhouse; The Art Of Diplomacy….Innit?

4th March 2025 Colin Cross 0

I’m sure that by now we’ve all seen at least the ten minute clip of the White House “spat” and I know I’m far from alone, at least in the august company of Going Postal [more…]

A View From The Greenhouse; Reflections

18th February 2025 Colin Cross 0

As expected (once DJT got his feet back under the table), it became more than a possibility that the war in Ukraine could be brought to a conclusion of sorts. It may not bring the [more…]

A View (Literally) Through The Greenhouse: Storms (What Are They Good For?)

4th February 2025 Colin Cross 0

There has been much huffing, puffing and pearl clutching, from the usual suspects, where the subject of “interference” in politics is concerned. Whether it be financial (the hypocrisy runs deep in this particular river) or, [more…]

(Not) A View From The Greenhouse; After The Goldrush. The End

21st January 2025 Colin Cross 0

A View From (Quite Close To) The Greenhouse; It’s All A Conspiracy…..Innit?

26th November 2024 Colin Cross 0

Winter arrives in the Northern backwaters, with a short lived but fierce reminder that the weather, when it chooses, can be the boss of us all. Cue, then, the assorted fanatics, grifters, bought and paid [more…]

Another View From (The Shed By) The Greenhouse……How Corrupted?

12th November 2024 Colin Cross 0

It goes without saying (but I’m going to repeat it anyway, for those tin-eared few at the back) that Labour won the election simply because the Tories had managed to make themselves un-electable and Reform, [more…]
