Man Up May – Let’s Just Leave
CSM EDITORIAL Mrs May is off to Brussels to ask for a short delay to the Article 50 process. It is impossible to imagine what her short delay will achieve. The only point of it is to threaten MPs again that if they don’t vote for her deal they risk a no deal exit. This is a threat that has already been used extensively and … Continue reading Man Up May – Let’s Just Leave
TIG is Pointless
BY ANDREW MOODY Yesterday’s news that TIG MPs are being thrown off select committees marks the beginning of the end for this group of “People’s Vote” campaigners. The Ex-Labour ones are already in the process of being unseated by Momentum. The Ex-Tory ones are not welcome in their own constituencies. In short, TIG is gone. Why? They are merely an extension of the EU – … Continue reading TIG is Pointless
Thoughts on Christchurch
BY FRANK HAVILAND Terror attacks are now sadly so ubiquitous, there is usually little left to say which wasn’t said last time, or which won’t be recycled the next. Indeed, many politicians appear to be doing little more than a cut and paste job these days, with the affected grief a trifle harder to muster each occasion the cameras demand it. Perhaps the only thing … Continue reading Thoughts on Christchurch

CSM EDITORIAL And so in the final week (or is it 19 days?) there were five choices: Vote for Mrs May’s Deal – Highly Unlikely. Revoke Article 50 – Civil War. A last-minute longer extension offered by the EU before the 29th March/12th April with conditions (likely financial and attached to either a second referendum or some other significant game-changer like a General Election to … Continue reading The Final Countdown
Hold Your Nerve
BY JAMIE FOSTER As Theresa May prepares to bring her contentious deal back before parliament for a third meaningful vote, presuming John Bercow gets over himself, members of the ERG have some serious questions to ask themselves. Do they back the deal this time round to ensure that Brexit is achieved or do they hold their nerve in the face of all the threats that … Continue reading Hold Your Nerve
L&G Denials Exposed
On January 10th this year Country Squire Magazine published an Open Letter to Legal & General asking them why they were risking the L&G brand in a proposed care village development in the Devon countryside at Sladnor Park, which will destroy the environment there and put unnecessary pressure on the local community’s services and infrastructure. The area in Torbay affected is full of L&G customers … Continue reading L&G Denials Exposed
Sunshine On Keith
BY BEN PENSANT There isn’t much we can predict with absolute certainty in 2019. In the old days, if your best mate told you his new girlfriend was a Tory you could deduce with confidence that she’d be white and wealthy with a penchant for throwing stones at disableds. But the modern world is so arse-about-face, the dumb public so susceptible to fascist gaslighting, that even … Continue reading Sunshine On Keith
Pointless Circle of Revenge
VICAR Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I trust that You are well. This week I feel obliged to mention the Christchurch massacre, which has killed 50 so far. Lone gunman Brenton Tarrant was responsible. In a hate-filled manifesto published online, Tarrant claimed three events in Europe in the spring of 2017 turned him to violence. The first was an attack in Stockholm by an … Continue reading Pointless Circle of Revenge
