Ready for war? Let's go...

      One of the many questions that are or should be asked is this – Can Britain fight a war? From where I am sitting my answer would be, are you kidding? Just look at the state of our armed forces. Virtually no navy and we are very dependent on the sea being an island. Just look at our army, some 70,000 strong with most of them being upper class officers. We could just about have two brigades in the field. But we are good on parades. The air-force today is struggling to get planes into the sky and on top of that cannot decide whether these planes should be purchased from America (F35’s) or we should build them ourselves. We can’t even decide whether we should be a part of an European army. Certainly we are part of NATO for whatever that means today, as surely we can no longer depend on the USA for 100 percent. Besides that argument comes the realisation  political interference or inability to make the relevant decisions in the liberal governments of Europ...

Sir James out of order, nah not really...

     What is the problem with Sir James Radcliffe? Eh? What a terrible man, they say. A money bogey man, they say. Well, let me tell you this, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. When he speaks, it is in proper English, he puts his money where his thoughts lead him. So, when he speaks it is well formulated and talks of his views of how British society is performing. Frankly, it is not performing well. When Sir James talks of ‘Immigrants having colonised Britain’ he is not far for the way it is. The government, or rather our esteemed permanently dazed PM might ask for apologies which as we all know is the daily act of our ‘wonderful’ man of the world. Our PM, might blow hot but the reality is here the good Sir James said it as it is. Strong words, yes of course but in my and loads of other people’s feelings, not strong enough. We can all see non-indigenous characters in positions of power. It is not saying these are uneducated morons but they do not have the...

What is happening Starmer baby? Get head out of arse!

     How many times does it need to be said – There is something iffy about those in power. Whether power corrupts or not is not in question – it seemingly does. Take our PM Starmer. A nice enough person I’m sure, became holder of a nice job, a solicitor, lawyer and then a reasonably good barrister dealing with immigrants and their problems. Why he suddenly got aspirations to want to be a politician and in particular seemed married to the idea that to be prime minister of this coutnry was precisely the thing for him. To be PM needs balls of steel, so to say because as we all (except Starmer) know women are different. But ‘balls’ in this sense is an allegory, if you get the meaning. That is precisely the problem with Starmer, nice guy trying hard to ingratiate himself with the wider public. Instead of steely governing his party, his MPs, he continually governed by looking at what social media said. Well, you simply cannot govern like that, U-turns to ‘satisfy’ socia...

Do the rich and powerful err - sure they do...

     How deep the rich and powerful can fall. On top of that the details can be quite sordid. One of the questions I would like to see answered is, how did this Epstein fellow get all his money? On top of that what did he do with it besides giving it away to politicians? A quick search through AI shows some nefarious actions. Billionaires are mentioned and one of the mysteries is how Epstein managed to act as a tax expert without any qualifications or even being licensed. Besides all of that the amount of documents, photographs and more shows that the man exercised some power over others, possibly through a form of blackmail. The other thing that is shown through all of this is how low the entitled persons go. Either to satisfy their depraved sexual ideas or simply get some ‘easy’ money. As I have mentioned many times, we need to look closely at the behaviour of those who ‘lead’ us, either elected or not. Although I accept we can never eradicate the sort of situati...

The Holocaust.... problematic?

     It might have escaped most people’s attention but today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. A day when it is remembered six million Jewish faith people died and an untold number of soldiers during the last World War. It takes some soul searching why it was possible to carry out the atrocities as described in many films recovered from that time. Who can forget the visions of emaciated corpses heaped up in hills of rotting flesh. Of walking skeletons? It is hard to believe there are people today who glorify this, who believe it is the Jews responsibility. Ask yourself why? Do we in the UK think like that? Do we in Wales? There are people who believe it never happened. It is all something drummed up by politicians or nefarious organisations. God knows for what purpose that would be.      The question though is this – how do rational beings with a thinking forward capability believe that a subsection of humanity is subhuman and needs to be exterminated?...

Politics or a comedy show?

     American politics is collapsing into an absolute farce. Instead of well-researched details properly obtained and verified we now get off the cuff remarks that bear litle truth to the reality on the ground. What is even worse is the continual kowtowing of European leaders in order to ‘safeguard’ their perceived standing. I remember the ‘Dear Donald’ moment performed by NATO secretary-general Mark Rutte. He was just seconds away from trying to kiss Trump. Hopefully without tongues. But it is the situation today. So, an emboldened Trump who has seen his ‘off-the-cuff’ actions succeed has now started on a serious attempt to acquire Greenland as being part of the United States. That must be one of the silliest mistakes a leader can possibly make. Attacking an ally who is also part of many of the same institutions. NATO in particular. As soon as that came to the Kremlin, they held a champagne party to celebrate the obvious legitimising of their Ukraine invasion. If ...

Infrastructure? What infrastructure...

    This morning’s TV news is as per the usual an eye-opener on the incredible incompetency of our hallowed public servants. Whether elected or just employed they all seem to have gone to the same school. It was incredible to listen to the leader of Cardiff Council talking about there not being enough school places for the children. Really? No shit, baby. It is something people like myself have been saying for so long it has become a song. The problem is quite easy to see. Housebuilding by the thousands and when people have moved in there will be children. Either ready made or being born. You know what they say – new house, new baby! Might be something to do with the soothing noise of the Air source heat pump I suppose. Time and again the same problem surfaces, the lack of infrastructure. It is fine to build houses but what about the services that will be needed? The shallow thinking is so pathetic it is akin to the American White House style. Are these the people lea...
