Have we still got Credit for the National Debt?

A few of my friends have said to me, ‘Like to read your comments’, and ‘ How can you believe all politicians are wasters or idiots?’ Well yes, good observation. Obviously not all politicians are wasters but when you view the national debt, now standing at I believe at over two trillion pounds you must ask yourself this question – Did I saddle the nation with that? No? OK then who did? You’re right, politicians. This pertains then to all because it is they who make the decisions. They will defend themselves by saying that all they do is in our best interests, but is that really true? Take the Covid debacle with PPI, millions if not billions, were wasted. Panic buying, bad decisions and more. Take the foreign aid budget, millions again sent to nations who have used it to finance their space programme. Or purchased weaponry. The millions wasted to finance the upkeep of immigrants coming in by the thousand without any reason whatsoever just because they have heard Britain is the new paradise. I don’t blame them, I would have done the same. It is the lack of control and the woke attitude of too many in the wrong positions that seem to run this country. Take our Home Sec, Priti Patel. A woman of some standing with the right ideas but continually thwarted by Civil Service mandarins so that in the end no decisions are made and nothing changes. I would not pretend it is easy to run a country but too often we make laws on the spur of the moment without thinking through possible outcomes. Wrongly or rightly. Boris (PM for now) has turned out to be a man making decisions on a Monday morning and regretting them in the afternoon, repealing them before going to bed. Government is not about looking good in a mask speaking about how sorry he is about the NHS being so busy. The NHS will always be busy, always asking for more money as it is a bottomless pit. Our population is getting older and soon the over 65’s will outnumber the millenials (those born after 2000) if they are not already. This comes with vastly increased cost to the medical services. The other thing that needs tackling is the idea in people’s heads that there is such a thing as a free lunch. To have a NHS which to all senses and purposes is free, is an anomaly. It is not free as someone has to pay. The service is given free, well to some extent but the cash has to come out of taxation which we have now found out through the increase in April to the NI contribution. A service that is free creates an unrealistic demand and expectations which are difficult to fulfill. I have mentioned before we should move to a national personal insurance plan that is rolled out across the nation. Anyone earning over £60,000 annually will be required to have completely private medical insurance and would not need to be a member of the national plan. Just an idea, it might work and it might not. But it is up to the aforementioned politicos to sort it out. That in the end is what we pay them for!

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
