In the good old UK and particularly in Wales, we have loads of by-laws, laws, and regulations to keep us all happy. One of these fields is Planning. T hat seems to be designed to make as much money for Councils as possible. No friends, it is not for your benefit as a citizen of your area. That is what they want you to believe. Don’t fall foul of political talk. I live in an area that is called the Rhondda. Once the world’s supplier of steam coal to power ships, trains and in so doing make it possible to travel and trade with the rest of the world. Today that has, as we now know, helped to heat up the atmosphere because of increased CO2. So, what then about planning? Well, you only have to listen to central government and their ideas. Opening up the countryside because yes, we all know we need 2 million new homes. It is plainly ridiculous. If we only just control immigration properly, then we would not now be one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. I am not saying we

Hullabalooh and all that, I’m hearing rumours that Piers (Morgan) might be coming back to ITV. Interesting that. Not really important to most I suppose but nevertheless interesting. Especially as he is known to have walked out of the ITV studios after a spat with the woke Alex Beresford. Well, just look at the occasion. Piers said that Meghan had been lying in her interview with the obviously starstruck Oprah Winfrey. Personally, I saw that interview, well, at least that bit shown in the UK and I have never seen or heard such drivel portrayed as prime world news! If that is what Americans like to do, it shows what I suspected a long time ago, Americans in the main are vacuous and money obsessed. Yet, the US has some great people in their midst. How did a two-bit soap actress get so much influence? It shows the Tinseltown’s approach to life. You go over dead bodies to get what you want. So, well done Piers to point some of that out. It is high time that lifestyles like that are portraye

Eurovision a laughing stock? No, people, it’s not. The Eurovision Song festival is just that , a festival. It has nothing to do with singing. It is simply a show, a show that leans heavily on gimmicks. That is just something we here in Britain do not understand. Look who won. Yes, a third rate rock band, nobody had ever heard of, not even in Italy. Then here came the Brits, a serious singer, bit overweight, no backing band, he didn’t appear out of a Stonehenge replica, nor did he have the royal crown on his head throughout or even wore a kilt and played the bagpipes. What chance did he have? None whatsoever, actually nil points was good, it could have been minus 10! Problem now is with the way we select here is that there will be no-one interested to apply next year. It was already traumatic this year with only one or two applying, so our choice was simply this, do we have a man or a woman? We should have chosen the cat. But it was fun. So, what next? I don’t believe we should withdra

Isn’t it lovely to have friends? Friends like Mr Cummings. Just love the guy. Its just great to see people like him that can put the knife in and lovingly turn it around a few times so we all can see the blood flow. It has to be obvious as well that Mr Cummings is as clean as a just born baby. Like he said, ‘ This Covid is not my fault you know. No, the Prime Minister, he is the one! I only went on a little drive to escape London! Why? Oh, a rampaging mob was outside my house. I love my cat and the poor moggie just was cowering away under the settee. That’s the reason I went to Barnard’s Castle. It's only some 250 miles you know. The cat likes to see swans swimming majestically. Blah di blah di blah....blah’. You know it says once again how rotten our political world is. Deadshead Cummings is just another of these charlatans. Why do we listen to guys like that? I said before ‘Don’t dig up your friends, let them rest in peace.... ’. He is someone who thinks everyone else is an idi

Oh la la, he’s at it again. Rod Liddle my favourite journo, that is. Having a go at the police. He has a point you know. Police in high heels (South Wales) to show solidarity with women, police with blue nails (Avon & Somerset) showing solidarity with the movement against slavery. Painting a patrol car in the LGBTQ+ colours to show solidarity with I can’t remember what the ‘eck that was. As he indicated since when is the police politicised? Yes, because like it or loathe it these things are around today. We need the police to yes, police it! Not join it! I am a paid up member of the ‘Normal’ movement. Our gesture is not to bend the knee, have blue nails or dance naked on Porthcawl beach but have the forefinger and middle finger permanently displaying a ‘V’ gesture.  One of my daily papers, the Sun, reported another artist becoming an ‘IT’, non-binary Demi Lovato. An eminently forgettable entity that. Not human I think, at least she doesn’t look human to me. Perhaps Obama, who belie

As probably everyone knows by now I am not a particularly avid royalist but at the moment I feel pretty strongly that the royal family is under threat. Not by me or the ‘normal’ public but by one of their own! I have to say from an outsider’s point of view that Mr Harry Windsor (note I am not using any titles) has completely lost the plot. Unless, and I say UNLESS, this is a new style attempt to take the crown. It has happened before of course. Richard III did it, two small princes disappeared. But I will be certain this is MR Windsor's coup d’etat when I see Price William and his children incarcerated in the Tower, London. However it is portrayed, Harry is wildly overstepping the mark. I think it is high time he is told, ‘Shut the gob mate’. And God only knows why the media here are reporting this claptrap. Once we thought Harry to be a brilliant exposition of how royals should be. Caring for the country. A soldier of note. But these latest outpourings of his show without a doub

And so we are all wondering where we are as far as Covid is concerned. Kent, India, Brazilian variants are all creeping about. Lovely. But let’s have a look at governance. Despite the wonderful words emanating from Wokestan, sorry London or rather Westminster, you know the stuff ‘We will control the travel to countries that are on the red list’. Right, I feel much safer already. Then I see shots on TV from Heathrow Airport where travellers from the self-same red list countries freely mingle with everybody else in the halls. You must forgive me because I am a bit stupid really, I don’t understand what red list countries mean and nor does the management of Heathrow Airport. But you know as well as I do that the world has changed, what you could do prior to 2020 is now curtailed. Let’s be honest even before Covid ransacked the planet we need to understand we would have to change anyway. Change our attitudes, our life-styles if we want to continue living decent lives. Perhaps it has esca

If you already think the world has gone stark raving mad you are forgiven, if you haven’t please watch BBC programmes like ‘Click’ or indeed any other semi-scientific claptrap. I looked at the science which is trying to increase the ageing process. Sounds good doesn’t it? Who doesn’t want to be 200 or even 300 years of age. Well, think of this – I am 250 today, I get in bed and next to me lies a wrinkled, parchment-skinned being who mumbles, ‘Hello darling...’. There are no teeth, they have gone long ago. She (I think it is a she, although my memory recalls she might be my wife) has a wig, apparent because it moved as I got into bed. To my consternation there was something hard in the bed (No, not that bit!) it was a false leg. During her 80’s she had an accident falling down the stairs. Anyway, you getting the point? Actually, talking about sex is fun but during my 120th anniversary I had a prostate operation and since then I needed the blue pill in ever greater quantity. I now take

Does anyone remember the name Enoch Powell? Yes, him of the rivers of blood in our streets. You might ask what was it all about? Well, quite simply coloured people outnumbering Caucasians. He was poohpoohed at the time and I also have problems with such opinions, although I know what was meant. But the establishment, that includes our media like TV and such does not do a lot to make life as smooth as possible. Let’s take the newest advertised series called Anne Boleyn. Did anyone know that Anne Boleyn was a coloured lady? I must say it is an interesting view on history of course and I wonder where C4 (that’s the station) did their history lessons? Probably at Eton I suppose. Obviously I am aware like everybody else that racism is about but this surely is the reverse? Or are we now rewriting our history because the Wokestan ultra liberal luvvies don’t like it? Wokestan used to be called London but London as we knew it is no more. Our new national capital now is Cardiff or if it isn’t i

You know what worries me? The government’s mealy-mouthed approach to homes for the people. You hear a lot about ‘We must build more affordable homes’. Really! If there are builders who want to build ‘affordable homes’ you would not want guys like that ever repairing yours! Because in too many instances ‘affordable homes’ really stands for ’mediocre secondary quality’ homes. Now we have heard that the government wants to wrench local council control of planning matters away and make it, what I would say is, a ‘Free for all’. In other words, open up the country including national parks to developers. It is rather sad that diverse government departments do not work together. In fact I would say they are ‘enemies’ of each other. One states we need more and more homes, millions by the sound of it and another says we need more forests! Yet another says, ‘We have no money’. We have to start thinking – what happens if we literally concrete Britain over? What then for diversity? Has anyone ever

HaHaHaHaHa, OMG, what next in this woke country? I love it, it is better than one of those great episodes in ‘It aint Half Hot Mum’! Do you understand what I’m saying ‘Lovely boy’? Imagine now Windsor Davies (The sergeant) saying to one of the soldiers ‘Hey you, non-binary git, stand up you, twinkle toes’. Plus the media storm following that. Yes, I am so happy to be a gender recognisable person, well at least I recognised myself when I took my pants off and thought ‘What the ‘ell is that then?’ But recognition dawned and I remembered. Am I sorry to have been born a man? Like ‘ell I am. Of course I now need my passport altered because the new non-EU ones will have a whole page in it that will show all the possible gender possibles. We will have Male, Non-male, Possibly Male, I thought I was male but not sure, Female, Non-Female, Possibly Female, Binary, Non-Binary, Possibly Binary, amongst many others. I think we should have separate entry points in stations, in trains, trams and bus

This country has absolutely lost its credibility. Just watching Countryfile (a TV ecological/farming programme) talking to some people who are planning spaceports. Not just one, no siree, quite a few, Cornwall, Scotland, even in the National Park of Snowdonia. Let me just say this, all talk about reaching for the stars is baloney. It is just not possible. I have heard otherwise sane people talking about, ‘Ah yes, not possible today, but tomorrow anything is possible’.  The question that needs asking is - why bother? What benefit is this going to have? The nearest star is over 4 light years away. I am not going to bore you explaining that beside telling you, if you left today with your wife, your descendants 200 years hence might see Alpha Centauri. You also might find out they will not discover habitable planets. Because they are dead from cosmic radiation. Humanity might reach and colonise Mars but we cannot really live there unless shielded behind miles of rock. In the meantime we

Aren’t elections exciting? You never will really know beforehand what is going to happen. Who would have thought that Labour was going to be dumped, and in such an easy manner. We are not talking London of course. London actually is not part of the UK, it is a total anachronism. The wokest of the woke! In other words London is a country all by itself, called Wokestan. Wokestanners have a different brain. That brain does not recognise there are other people in the world, or even other countries. For a Wokestaner everything outside the M.25 circular is like the planet Mars to everybody else. So, London is probably the only region now that votes Labour. It just shows the mindset of a Londoner. There was some talk about re-organising the Civil Service but I think like a lot of other things, good talk, bad action! Nevertheless things have not ended just yet, the main government has a few years to run. So, we will wait with abated breath! In the meantime the Conservatives have had a very go

Dyn ni wedi bod siarad am annibyniaeth yn Gymru am beth amser. Yn y lle cyntaf ro’n i ddim yn siŵr achos ble mae’r arian, eh? Does dim unrhyw ddiwydiannau mawr gyda’n ni. Heblaw yn Porth Talbot yn y de. Gwneuthurwyr dur wrth gwrs. Mae llawer o swyddfaoedd yng Nghaerdydd wrth gwrs, ond a fydd hyn yn ddigon i dalu Llundain am gynnal yr amddiffyniad? A felly, o ble fyddwn ni’n cael trethi i dalu’r gwleidyddion? Mae Plaid Cymru yn dweud y gallwn fforddio bod yn annibynnol nawr. Ond wn i ddim. Cwestiwn doniol a beth am breindal, y Frenhines, tywysogion a thywysogesau ac hefyd llysoedd brenhinol! Eto beth allwn ni ei allforio nawr yn enwedig i’r Undeb Ewropeaidd? Dim ond cig oen? Efallai cig eidon neu porc? Yn amlwg bydd twristiaid yn bwysig nawr ac yn y dyfodol. Ond a ydd yn ddigon? Cwestiwn dda! Felly, does dim cwestiwn am all Cymru oroesi annibyniaeth ond y cwestiwn am pam nawr. Rydym adeiladu llawer o dai ar hyn o bryd. Ond nid oes angen ac mae cymaint o bobl o Loegr bell

Has anyone ever wondered why political parties need so many people at times to deliver leaflets, knock doors, canvass? Perhaps we as voters need to be persuaded to vote? One might wonder why that is so? Could it be disillusionment? One might wonder but I think it is the general feeling that it is all a waste of time and money. Things do not get better, politicians do not stand up for anyone despite boldly acclaiming they do. Has anyone got the feeling that we are ‘Moving forward’? Well, Welsh Labour does! But I’m thinking at best we are pretty stationary! You have to forgive me people but when a political party that has been in power here for over twenty years is claiming that they will generate a ‘greener’ country I have to ask where have they been these last twenty years? Asleep? Never heard of global warming? Melting icecaps? This can be blamed on all political parties, except the Greens perhaps. Looking at all the party leaflets that came through my front-door you would think that

 I often wonder about the British relish for court cases where they 'try' soldiers who have killed civilians or other unknown characters. In Iraq, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and others, perhaps the Falklands too. I am waiting for court cases where British soldiers will be tried for killing Argentinian soldiers. What is the matter with this woke country? Look, it is relatively simple, we have soldiers that defend the interests of this nation. That may happen locally or internationally. This will be done on the instigation of those well-known half-wits called politicians. Things happen in battles that ordinarily would not happen. We must get away from the idea that you can win a war by waving a small flag saying 'Sweets for free here'. I am not a pacifist, I have been in the army. Not the UK but on the continent. It is not really a world of or for pansies. But I am not a warmonger either. I would prefer peace but a proper peace not the usual shambolic package that toda
