In fact they see chaos as being highly desirable, even though it may hurt them personally. Now in Johnson they have a Prime Minister who is promising change will occur.

I cannot reveal the source of this draft document. However, it seems to be an interesting approach that could just break the current Parliamentary logjam. . . . discussion draft for No 10 strategy group circulation only . . . . proposed statement re the EU … Continue reading
On the Border
You can drive to one of the most historically significant memorials in Europe in under an hour from where we are staying in Eastern Austria. And yet most of us will be unfamiliar with the name – Sopron, a small … Continue reading

Return to the Wienerwalt
The drive from Lake Simssee to the Vienna Woods is quite short, about four hours. We make a good stop at a Landzeit service area for lunch. The quality is superb, and we reflect on the sorry state of particularly … Continue reading
