Is destroying a statue OK? In the UK it is now....

You wouldn’t believe how far this country has sunk into being woke. You might remember a year or so ago a mob in Bristol took it upon themselves to dump a statue of some 200 year old guy called Colston into the harbour. It was all over the news at the time as lo and behold the TV wallahs knew what was going on. Anyway, the TV News was interesting and there were wonderful shots of the faces of quite a number of participants. Anyway, after some investigation time, four were arrested and a week ago were set free. The Crown Court jury found them NOT guilty of criminal damage. What??!! You must excuse me, I am just a dimwitted citizen but I know criminal damage when I see it. It appears the jury was as woke as you can be. I can just about hear their conversation in the Jury room set aside. ‘Hey babe’ you know these upstanding citizens? Yeah, they protected our values!’ ‘Ooooh, did they do that? That’s a miracle in these days’. ‘Yes, BLM, babe, BLM, Colston was the devil, carting all these coloured people off to provide sugar for our daddies and mummies’. ‘Ohhh no, did he?’ ‘Yes, may he rot in hell, babe’. ‘Yes, Colston is guilty darling, by the way did I tell you I admire your tattoo?’ ‘Yes, it’s a nice picture of a heart entwined with roses all around and a sword pointed with words to describe that love is eternal but won’t last forever, don’t you think’? ‘Oh? Spic baby, span all over’. ‘So, Colston is guilty? That means these four are not, they have upheld the nation’s values’. ‘That’s it babes, we can go back now to deliver our well debated verdict’.

How can a jury decide on points of law when political overtones are at large? Let’s look at the occasion, the televised pictures show a crowd toppling a properly constructed statue to the ground and hauling to the harbour and throw it into the water. Obviously the jury thought that to be a daily occurrence everywhere and quite normal behaviour. It is without doubt that Colston at the time an example of a successful businessman was engaged in the slavery trade. Today that is not allowed (but is that exactly true?) but then it was normal and no-one thought any different. I repeat what I said a few times before – WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS DID! If people want to remove a statue of a person from the past then do it through proper channels, have a vote or whatever. The other thing is this – you cannot change the past, you cannot change history. But you can learn from it. I do think the verdict needs looking at. It should be obvious that politics played a part. That must not be allowed. The law is the law. If you are not happy about it, see your MP and ask him or her to change the law. I would suggest the Court of Appeal should sit immediately.

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
