Guess who’s contritely telling al-Jazeera he should have resigned from his senior State Dept. post when he and Colin Powell lost their battle with Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, John Ashcroft and Don Rumsfeld over observing the Geneva Conventions in America’s two wars, one illegal and the other totally botched?
Yup, [...]

Your campaign of fear and hate? It didn’t work. Your attempts to portray our next President as a “lying Muslim socialist with no experience who hates our flag and Constitution and what this country was founded on.” It will put you further on the fringe than you already are. I’m really just sick [...]

We’ve celebrated for 2½ weeks and what better way to remember Jack Kennedy on this solemn day than to watch President-elect Obama’s deliberate, studious and principled leadership in action. The hard work began precisely at 11:00 pm on 04 November, healing our land and cleaning up our reputation in the world, after the [...]

A tidal wave of emotion after 20-months washed over me sitting in BBC’s studio Six. The host asked a question and for a brief moment I could not speak then the words tumbled out like a cascade. The realisation hit me like a ton of brick square in the chest. After a brutal [...]

Throughout the primary and election campaign, I’ve received lots of smear-mail about Barack Obama. Much of it includes knowingly false statements about him being a Muslim meaning, whether the smear-mail says it openly or not, that he is one step removed from the 19 evil men who crashed planes into the World Trade [...]

Ooops, there now goes the McCain as Commander in Chief mantel. There goes the inexperience mantel. There goes the not ready to lead mantel. The Republican Party, already forced onto their heels for a disastrous and divisive McCain campaign saw their last great endorsement hope fade away when former George W. Bush Secretary [...]

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.
