Reprise: UK vanity licence plates still make little sense… from July of last year
WE57 HAM is a UK license number plate that sold last year in a department of motor vehicle auction for £57,000 ($112,000). There are 500 supporters of the West Ham United Football (soccer) Club that would have paid that amount to have [...]

 Zero hour. The gradual re-branding of The Vadimus Post to UK Progressive the last few months will happen pretty much overnight tonight. The technical name for it is a ‘domain switch’ and what it means is overnight we will simply change, (for the purposes of Google, Yahoo and MSN searches and their counting system), so [...]

Since he truly cares not a whit, let’s plan a real tone deaf legacy tour for George and the team. The only thing missing from the current trip is bomber tour jackets made by Bangladeshi schoolchildren earning $1 a week in wages. Is it possible for one man to have so little sensory [...]

Welcome to Vadimus Post

Posted on 12 August 2008 by Denis Campbell | Comments (0) | Tags: blogger, Denis Campbell, e-newspaper, outside the boundaries, vadimus post

What’s in this name? Everything. It took three months to find one not squatted upon by someone like the guy who sold Pizza.com for £1.3 million pounds, we wanted something that conveyed our desire to dig deeper into news, open a dialogue and epitomised moving forward together. When every Greek, Latin, Sanskrit or Taino (indigenous Caribbean language) quotable quote was taken (even this URL [...]

On my 10th US Independence Day abroad, I’ll walk across our meadow to where the UK’s Severn River meets the Irish Sea and toss in the contents of a tea bag to celebrate. US holidays abroad are a bit strange. It’s Friday here. No hours-long parades, political speeches, fireworks, over-stuffing myself at cookouts or other [...]

Hillary’s Nuclear Option

No we’re not talking about her threat to wipe Iran off the face of the earth if they attack Israel. This nuclear option is her plan for winning the nomination at the convention in Denver.
Simply, the plan under wraps and labelled “secret” at Hillary HQ is a page out of former advisor to her husband’s [...]

Geoff Garin, Clinton strategist was complaining yet again about the double standard Senator Clinton is getting from the press, an argument heard since Super Tuesday with the famous Saturday Night Live “pillow fluffing” sketch.
The media abandoned Senator Obama out of fear and he managed to stay on message against a rising tide of negative attack [...]

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.

UK Progressive is a free service. I cringe every time I hear a pbs, truthout or npr never-ending appeal for money. They make much more than we do. We're not your mother, we'll skip the guilt trip.
