The Budget. What budget....?

Well the Budget has his the podium and the play has begun! Will anyone with a brain shut the door when they leave for the airport or port? Does anyone think this Budget will do what is said it will, do? Fat chance! Will the loss of the two-child limit do what our brainy Chancellor says it will? No chance. What it will do is give more money to those on drugs and booze, or pay for the gambling habits. The kids will be as poor as they have always been. It is the bane of humanity especially in Britain. There will just be an increase in the unemployed as for some it will be so much easier not to work at all. I know this is a pretty negative state of affairs but can anyone dispute the reality? For the most part it is already and has been so for quite some time. To diminish the rules is not what people need. Overall the welfare state has just grown again. What did we expect? Labour is the party that murders the economy and has done so every time they came to power. I was listening to the bell...

What plan? 28 points too many!

Good grief, the Americans are at it again! Frankly, does anyone, in particular good-willing politicians trust America and their negotiators any more? I doubt it. But let’s have a look as to why I want to pinpoint this. Obviously, the first point is the treatment dished out of the Ukrainians and in particular their president. Frankly, Zelensky towers 6 miles over that silly Trump. All Trump wants out of this is mining rights and the cash to rebuild what has been destroyed. Nothing else matters. The broomstick behind the door is withholding the needed weapon systems. Then we have this idiotic 28 point peace plan. Does anyone with a brain think that will work? With the Russian penchant for breaking agreements, who would? Zelensky is in an impossible situation. Many wonder what Russia has over Trump? If I was an American I would certainly press for Trump’s accounts to be minutely researched. The adage is where there is a question of probity, look at the money and sex. I wonder how the Amer...

Is planning up to scratch?

Just wondering why planners, indeed the government, think it is a good idea to plaster the countryside with small houses, no garden, and acres of solar panels? Does every person in the various offices think it doesn’t matter about a healthy environment, indigenous wildlife? Humans don’t need areas for growing their food any more? Perhaps it is easier to import? The problem with all that idiotic planning and rules is eventually the pigeons are coming home to roost! As the climate heats up growing areas in southern lands will dry up and importing their once plentiful fruits and vegetables will no longer be available. Those that are still will be exceedingly expensive. But hey, we are alright in Britain, we are warm and can drive our EV’s. Except, just to remind our clever lawmakers, we cannot eat or drink electricity! One of the problems is overzealous politicians with one burning desire to fulfil an idea they have and come what may to do it. Ed Miliband is just such a man, wanting to ma...

Social issues here? What does that mean....

Do people ever think about how the nation pays its bills or even how it distributes its income? Probably not, viewing the ever increasing demands. Also of course by government itself seemingly not able to curtail its spending habits. This idea to drop the two-child cap is one of those issues. One wonders who thought it is a good idea? Are British people now so accustomed to hand-outs? Indeed, too many now believe we do no longer have to work. Life is a never ending holiday. How did we ever think that a society can just sit back, smoke cigars and drink beer all day long? A society only will be successful when its people work towards it being successful. Even more, it is a continuing action. Today one can see this across all the nations of western Europe. Worse, to pay for this ever increasing social bill fracas, our collective defences have been denuded of money. As a result we have left ourselves open to aggressive action by belligerent states like Russia. It is despairing to see the y...

Hey, have some good external insulation?. Ah, I see....

Whilst watching TV News this morning, there was a snippet on the Energy debt in this country. We’re told it is a total of some £4billion! On top of that the reporter said that everyone gets charged some £52 extra per annum to cover non-payment. In other words we all who still pay their bills, like me included get charged to pay for those who don’t. So, why do we have a £4billion level of bad debt for energy then? Or are they saying there are so many now who do not pay their bills that even the £52 extra is not sufficient? I just wonder if those who make the rules and are in charge actually do know what the ‘eck they are doing? How many times do we have to point out the mediocrity of those who are in charge? In this country if anything goes wrong there comes a law or rule that increases the cost. There seem to be no action to correct the problems. It is just, people are charged more. Of course it is the easy way, why should those in charge worry? We, the general population that still wo...

Anyone for a bit more land? Well...

Astounding though it may be, Canada has demanded that the American States Washington, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota are returned to them forthwith. As a matter of fact, President Trump has denied they were ever Canadian but Canada’s premier pointed out that most of the States were once. In fact there were no States at all, Trump said something to the tune of that America once was the only nation on the planet and that his great great times sixty something father was the president. He had a standing ovation in the psychiatric hospital of Washington DC. In the meantime Canada has now occupied part of the requested land and is demanding that the US will disband its military. Wouldn’t you think this an interesting scenario? How would America actually react to something like that, especially if an outside nation, let’s say a man like Keir Starmer said that ‘Yes, America should concede land’. Well, this is the same situation, a real one that faces this, Ukraine. The question is also – ...

Something else to talk about...

A lot goes on in the scientific world. Loads of information is published every day, year on end and increasing. That’s great but for ordinary mud-skippers like myself, we are struggling to find a meaning of all that. As it gets it amounts to a type of brain-dead and putting everything away in a dark corner of our minds. Yet the question of life remains. How did it start, why here on Earth? For me and I suspect for others as well, it seems that life is something that automatically happens when conditions are met. When talking about conditions it should be obvious these can and will differ across the vast expanses of the Universe. Hence life will come in many different forms. An example would be Earth’s dinosaurs. Most perished, why? The conditions changed. Whether a wide conflagration changing the climate or overpopulation I will leave that but yes, conditions changed and the then lifeforms could not cope, or change fast enough. The same rule applies to us, humans. Although there is no ...
