Nach einem ganzen Jahr ohne Besuch auf der Insel (daran war wirklich Corona Schuld) sind wir Anfang September 2021 endlich wieder nach England gereist. Meine Eindrücke aus einem Land in tiefer Seinskrise verarbeite ich natürlich im unserem Podcast, den man seit Mitte Februar 2021 auf Spotify, Apple und Deezer findet. Hier fühle ich weiterhin zusammen mit Florian Schwarz und Tobias Wannieck dem Brexit auf den Zahn.

Unser Podcast beleuchtet wie immer die Hintergründe, folgt den aktuellen Entwicklungen und wirft nebenbei noch ein Auge auf die verschiedenen Exzentrizitäten, die England so besonders machen. Ungefähr alle zwei Wochen, 30 Minuten, auf Deutsch.

Neue Folgen und auch alte zum nachhöhren gibt es hier:

Between them, in different roles and on apparently opposing sides, David Cameron and Boris Johnson, both examples of a snobby, entitled, amusing and globally envied ruling class, have well and truly pissed away the Continue reading →

Here we are. Jeremy Corbyn has been even worse than thought possible and delivered a thumping majority for the shitshow that is the current incarnation of the Conservative Party. This is not Boris Johnson’s or Dominic Cummings’s amazing victory – it is Continue reading →

The German Handelsblatt tells it as it is: Boris Johnson’s attempt to force a general election in the next few weeks was not only his only real option as someone who wants to retain power, but the only move that fulfils everything politics is about (unless you really do put the good of the country before party and self): he will most likely Continue reading →

Over the past two days, Boris de Pfeffel Johnson has taken the entire concept of a liberal democracy, governed by the respect for and the rule of law, to the very edge of the abyss. Holding the highest elected (although, in his case, not really) office in the country, he stood in New York, telling reporters Continue reading →

Here we are. It’s August 28th 2019 and unelected PM Mr Johnson has asked the Queen for permission to prorogue Parliament (at least we’ve all learnt a new word) until mid-October. It has really Continue reading →

Now 0.2% of the British electorate have anointed Mr. Johnson (do let’s stop calling him Boris, as if he was a lovable chum), it’s time to resume a spot of blogging. His “out on October 31st, do or die” claims have done, what they were supposed to do: put the idea in people’s heads, as if it Continue reading →

For three years now, I’ve been trying to make sense of what’s happening with Brexit and Britain. From the initial horror of having to digest the result of the idiotic referendum, to following Mrs. May’s hope- and hapless premiership to Continue reading →

The current absurd theatre being performed in the UK trumps (quite literally) anything even the most out-there writers could ever come up with. It’s a never-ending comedy of inept and/or pompous characters, falling over themselves to Continue reading →
