Stranded on the road to nowhere/December 27th 2012.

Richie - Greetings from the land of smiles! Old Wob is now in semi-retirement on a Thai beach! At last myself and Mrs Bob No 3 have managed to escape the gloom and misery of Shameron n Cleggie's unelected austerity government. No more hectoring by Tory millionaires! No more crippling back-door taxation! No more "We're all in this together" bull****! I  only wish I'd made the move a few years earlier! Now my biggest daily concern is whether to expose the ample Roberts corsage fully to the sun or not! Lots of plans to start up a little business venture or two as you can imagine. Bob Roberts' Tuk-Tuks4U and a fish n chip shop to cater for the growing number of ex-pats out here just two ideas under consideration. Of course there are things I'll miss about Old Blighty- (er, can't think of any just now!) So, I'll say farewell Rich. Old Rob is signing off for the final time. Off now to my luxury seaside abode which I've christened Wob Bobert's Happy End! You couldn't make it up I say! (Hic!)

Without brave whistleblowers, Ali Dizaei would be running the Met police/December 18th 2012.

Richie - In a week in which the period of notice for redundancies has been halved from 95 days to 45 days by the unelected Coagulation of the Featherbrained, making it easier for employers to sack workers and therefore sucking even more confidence out of people's lives, Old Wob and Mrs Bob No 3 have finally finished packing up our junk ready to be shipped overseas to the Land of Smiles. The Roberts comfy chair and snifter cabinet have been carefully crated and Mrs Bob's array of colourful costumes have been wrapped in moth-proof paper. Needless to say, a long procession of good friends have stopped by to say their farewells, all vowing to leave Rip-off Tory UK as soon as their own circumstances allow. How many other hard working, law abiding citizens are being forced overseas by Shameron and his growth-averse Toffs I wonder ? Immigration isn't the problem, Rich. The relentless Tory-led war on decent honest people is the problem. All in it together ? Don't make me laugh I say! (Hic!)

Windmills for Africa... a policy to DIE for/December 7th 2012

Richie - Well the unthinkable has finally happened. Old Wob has sold up the business, put the house on the market and is leaving the UK with Mrs Bob No 3 for a new life in the Land of Smiles. This once great country of ours is being led to ruin by Shameron and his unelected Coagulation government. Wednesday's disgraceful attempt by Osbourne to fiddle the figures was the final straw. When a finance minister is applauded by his friends in the press for a deceitful performance more suited to a banana republic then you know the game's up and the lunatics have finally taken over the asylum. Sad to say, Rich, but Britain is well on the way to becoming a medieval fiefdom, isolated from europe and without influence in the world. So, it's time to head East where the future lies. In the new year Old Wob's new business - Bob's Tuk-Tuk's 4U - will be up and running and I'll be sunning the Roberts comb-over on a golden Thai beach. No more hectoring Tory Right Wing windbags to listen to! It'll be paradise I say!
