About Scribo Ergo Sum
We are a bunch of writers who publish thoughts and articles on this blog.
We largely write on politics, but we do try to keep up in other areas too. There are sections on music, film, books, the media, life, the universe and almost anything on the site. Admittedly, some of them may be quite small at the moment, but we're working on it...
Please visit the About page to get a bigger picture and for details on how to join our number.
Please feel more than welcome to comment on the site: we always welcome debate and discussion.

It doesn’t excuse anything, but you have got to remember how politics works. Ken Livingstone’s £25 on 4×4 plan would have looked almost identical on a map. Politicians make money from those who are never going to vote for them (thus making that all the less likely).
With the obvious difference that the Kensington & Chelsea 4X4 drivers were easily rich enough for pay for the damage they were doing while this is about the disadvantaged being denied assistance from the state.
