A political pet peeve of mine is an inclination towards believing that conservative, capitalist or “fiscally prudent” beliefs are inherently more logical than leftist, social, policies.
The idea that financial and compassionate plans have to be opposite sides of the spectrum to one another seems completely illogical to me, and yet is massively perpetuated as an idea both in the UK – and occasionally here in the Falklands.

INEVITABLY, perhaps, I arrive at my last editorial taking stock of my time at Penguin News. I say my time here, but it has at times felt not so much like I’ve passed through Penguin News, but that it has passed through me like a horde of marauding Mongolian plainsmen.
