UK Election: Nigel Farage

by  • 

I wrote this piece originally for March edition of The Astrological Journal.

Just when his enemies think it’s all over, there he is again climbing out of his coffin with a Rothman’s in one hand and a pint of beer in the other. He has almost died twice – for real. He also reinvented his career at least three times, and not so long ago it looked like UKIP was all washed up. Now, of course, like Dracula himself, […]

Our Time Change Weekend

by Jude Cowell

On Sunday November 4, 2012 at 2:00 am, we’ll turn back our clocks and ‘reclaim’ the hour of sleep we lost in the Spring.
