     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...

      How is it possible that we, the ordinary public, the ordinary voters, do allow a few individuals to ruin this world? I am talking about Putin, basically a despot and dictator, I am talking about Trump, another one albeit a beginner compared to the aforementioned, also the Iranian clergy. That’s just for starters. Altogether probably no more than 25 people who are intent on leaving their tenure nothing but ashes. It is really incredible we allow it. Every time it is the same old thing, we vote for them because of their sugary words and then find they are nothing but hollow promises. Just look at the United Kingdom, it is beyond me why it is still united but that’s another story. Just look how these promises have stacked up, can anyone tell what has come of them?      We just are saddled with Mickey Mouse university degree holders who think they know it all, while in reality they know less than a harvest mouse. Perhaps they are just capab...

      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...
