Welcome to the Real World Kiddies:Top-Up Fees

Felicitations to all who enquired as to Morag’s health and whereabouts this past week. She has been in Devon walking the moors and contemplating the state of the universe. Back in town and all fired up! Firstly……………
I am sick to the backteeth of all this whingeing about top-up fees. Dragging themselves around Central London in [...]

KELLY HOLMES & DAME EDNA : Portrait of the NHS

Picture Dame Edna Everage and Kelly Holmes doing a three legged race and you’ve got the NHS in one. Half of it fleet of foot and pure of spirit; half a plodding, over-fed, over-padded behemoth that can barely walk never mind run.
There’s nothing wrong with the NHS that an efficiency expert couldn’t sort out in [...]

TELEVISION FRIEND OR FOE : From JFK to Cameron

We’ve come a long way since one got elected by hiking up your toga and handing out grapes from the back of a chariot. A rousing speech in the Coliseum for the general citizens and a slavegirl or two for the hard-to-reach councillors. When the likes of Morag was young politics was live. Then newspapers [...]

THE 978 REASONS THAT TAGGING DOESN’T WORK

Let’s try : 1 murder, 4 manslaughters, 56 woundings, 700 assaults, 100 cases of possessing an offensive weapon, 100 cases of obstructing a police officer and 16 other violent attacks. That means almost 1000 reasons why this ridiculous system needs to be scrapped.
What part of ‘You’ve done the crime now pay the time’ does [...]

Twitchin In The Tesco – How Hamza Made Me Cry

Of All the Cockamamie Ideas This One Takes the Biscuit

Once a year Morag goes to Paris and buys a yearly agenda. The covers there come in all sorts of fancy leathers and beautiful colours and somehow the chi-chi-ness of it all chirps her up. The only problem is she sometimes goes awry with the days and months and has been known to show up [...]

“BOURNEMOUTH – I HAVEN’T HAD THAT MUCH FUN SINCE THE 14 SHOTS OF TEQUILLA”

Despite rumours to the contrary Morag is actually a card-carrying grown up person. As a Conservative at heart she believes in doing it herself, whatever ‘it’ she turns her hand to therefore she is taking this going from Leftie to Rightie business very seriously. This means research, research, research. Well what better opportunity to learn [...]

“FOR THE LOVE OF WEE WILLIE”

Morag will be honest and say that she probably is not what you would expect your average Conservative woman to look like or be like. She might be a bit too flash, too loud and doesn’t have enough hair to hold back in an Alice-band. But don’t let appearances fool you Morag is about as [...]
