Not much longer to go now …

Last night at 7.30pm I tuned to BBC1 to see another of Andrew Neil’s interviews with the protagonists in the EU Referendum campaign – this time with Remain’s George Osborne. Now inside the last fortnight before 23rd June Mr Neil has taken upon himself the unenviable task of challenge the [...]

Counting down …

Now with just 19 days to go to the EU Referendum, it seems that both the Remainers and Leavers campaign have finally settled into their respective comfort zones – the economy versus the ‘leap into the dark’ for the former, ‘Let’s get our country back from the twin evils of an unelected [...]

The times we live in

From time to time the Rust recommends to its readers an article or two that we have spotted somewhere in the media which seems worthy of being brought to our readers’ attention, just in case they have not come across it for themselves. Today we have no hesitation in placing this [...]

One things leads to another …

Going down through history, one wouldn’t doubt that being Prime Minister of the United Kingdom must be one of the most frustrating jobs in world politics. You fight your way to the top of the greasy pole – and then the greasy electoral poll; you receive the keys to Number 10 Downing Street; you [...]
