     The question of what Britain has become is shown in the name I have just used. The word Great has disappeared. We are no more than just a small European nation that still pretends it has an empire. Except no-one in the real world knows exactly what it was. Even if some small minority groups feels the urge to protest about slavery we had been busy with, forgetting the whole world was busy with it, and want to pay reparations for actions our forefathers thought was just business, not a single person thinks that you cannot change history. At the same time they will not learn from history so that old mistakes are not being made again. Something which is noticeable throughout the world. Humanity does not learn from previous historical mistakes.      It seems that due to hardships such as going through two world wars and previous ones like Waterloo as well, the present stream of most western politicians reflect an attitude that wrongly wants to ch...

  OK, so the UK is slow, perhaps listening to what our valued PM says, is a coward? So, it’s OK to have bases all over the world, Chagos, Cyprus, wherever but when it comes to planning their defence, ah we don’t have the money now. We just pay Child Benefit for every child under sixteen. Lovely. Oh, and since the worthy Unions have decided that we only work from 9 to 5 in the marine shipyard because we do not want to miss our tea, the frigate we have still floating must be restocked with weapons we still have to buy, the boat cannot leave here for another 2 years.      It wouldn’t be fair to just blame the present Labour government but all the same didn’t we vote for them to sort the mess the Conservatives left? What happened to that promise, oh I forgot there were 2,000 U-Turns. It must have been one of them I overlooked. It sure looks like as I have mentioned before, our worthy MPs, also the various governments have lost the art of leading the country. Sorry...

     Whilst watching Prime Minister’s Question Time yesterday one could not help but feel a bit sorry for the PM. Talking about seeing and hearing someone who is way out of their depth! This is the man who wanted to be PM, now he is and I wonder what his blood pressure is at the moment. A few things he said though were true. It is not just the Labour government who is guilty of reducing the armed forces. It has been all governments since 1945. Not just in this country either. In that respect Trump was correct in denouncing Europe, western Europe as ‘freeloaders’. But Trump also needs to remember it was the American desire to be the "numero uno" in this world that facilitated it. In other words – Follow our systems, buy our weapons and we will look after you. The problem was our own governments were only too happy to follow it, never looking at possible consequences, never even considering future implications. Yes, Russia is a problem, it has been a problem ever sin...

      Beginning to wonder whether Trumpy is reading my blog. He seems to be saying many things I have been writing. Whatever. Perhaps I am a ultra-right individual? But let’s be fair, the Prez is doing rather than just talking. We may argue about International Law until the pips squeek, the reality is, there is no International Law except in the woolly minds of daft politicians. Humanity has never learned the lessons meted out from history, we continually make the same mistakes over and over again. This is rooted in our make-up, our natural instincts. It is something we continually disregard. Look at these two politicians (although I smile ruefully when I say politicians) Trump and Starmer. You would not see two more diverging minds. One thinks he is Napoleon and the other thinks he is the greatest economist the world has seen. Of course, one can be belligerent having the greatest number of weapons on side as well as a sizeable army, navy and airforce. Whilst th...

      The only thing I remember, living in Wales, of St David’s Day, (G ŵ y l Dewi) is my, well ours of course, wedding anniversary. In any case there was precious little. No flags, all very quiet. Bearing in mind I feel that the bit about Welshness is being lost. Slowly but inevitably. Don’t ask me why, Pam? Well, I will leave it to your own opinion. But take the Rhondda, it seemed just another mucky Sunday. I am not sure what the people of the Rhondda feel about the degradation of their environment? Rubbish floating all around. I have mentioned all this before of course but people generally have lost their sense of pride in their environment. You get words thrown at you when pointing out we have bins at home or plastic refuse sacks, whatever but they will tell you whilst throwing out the Big Mac wrapping from a moving car, ‘It’s a job for you, innit boyo? Even yr ieunctydd lleol who are quick to protest will have no problem leaving the family ci’s emanations f...

       The panto is now playing to rave  reviews! It has been confirmed finally, the weirdos have taken over the country. What’s worse the ‘normal’ people are just letting it happen. Standing on the sidelines and shaking their heads. You must excuse me but I’m too old to bother I hear you say, possibly true but is it not time we do something? What happened to the so-called white majority? Are we still a white majority? Just asking. Who in all blazes started to think and act on we need millions of immigrants? Well, it has happened and still continues to happen. Everywhere the ‘normal’ people have lost their senses. Most have just simply withdrawn to their houses and closed the door. In fact not just closed the door but triple bolted it plus a guard dog sitting in the hall. Oh yes, and a killer cat. It is a terrible mind-set that has come over us. A sullen mental state of the fact we cannot do anything about it! It is why we tend to vote for people like Starmer, w...
