Faith in the Future: Is faith the glue for 21st century society?

3rd February 202122nd February 2021 Daniel Singleton

Over the past few months, I have found myself considering the knotty issues of integration, citizenship and cohesion. Life in lockdown acts as a pressure cooker for the issues already present in society. Tensions have been bubbling up between communities, social classes, blue and white collar, young and old, and even within families and households […]

It’s October 31st and this is NOT a blog about Brexit

31st October 201914th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

My team are a cunning bunch and a few weeks back, with the 31st October coming up, they said to me, “How about you write a blog for Brexit day?” Well, I agreed as I was rushing out the office. But, of course, now there is no Brexit to speak of and we still don’t […]

The Treaty of Versailles is 100 years old – so what?

1st July 201914th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

The Treaty formally ending the First World War was signed a hundred years ago, on the 28th June 1919. Most school children in the United Kingdom will learn about this event, yet it wasn’t really a long lasting treaty, as much of what it laid out was overturned within 20 years. So what’s the point?

4th April 201914th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

One day, the current political impasse will be over and our politicians will start lifting their heads from their tightly-wedged positions gazing firmly into their navels. It is, of course, a little unfair to put all the blame on Westminster: it’s not like Parliament is disunited and the rest of the country is at peace […]

The Brexit stab in the back – lessons from 1919 for 2019

31st January 201914th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

Have you ever tried to explain to someone that they’ve got their facts wrong and have totally misunderstood what is going on? How about if that person felt a little threatened? How about if they were suspicious of your motives and suspected you were undermining them? How did that conversation go? Did you change their […]

Don’t pay the NHS an extra £350million a week!

10th November 201714th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

Don’t pay the NHS an extra £350million a week, but well done to Simon Steven’s who may have single-handedly moved the Brexit debate on from political machinations, to life after Brexit and what we want it to be. The NHS will always need more cash, and there should be a steady increase of what it […]

It’s Time to Lift the Fog and Describe a Vision for Tomorrow

28th June 201614th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

There was a sober tone to Boris Johnson’s and Michael Gove’s response to David Cameron’s announcement that he would step down after the EU Referendum, as well there should be, after the painful campaign we have had.

Entering the EU debate with fluster and squeal

24th May 201614th February 2020 Daniel Singleton

I am still very much on the fence about which way to vote in the EU referendum, but this doesn’t stop me having a strong opinion on the nature of the debate.
