We may think that the world is small planet peopled by protesting humans in the richer parts for more stuff to get their mitts on and peopled in the po o rer parts where they have to live on two grains of wheat a day and have to make do with water in which cattle have p*ssed. And then we have the what I think is known as Generation X or Z. Dim-witted, no-brained twenty somethings that think they know it all and want to change the planet so that it is fit for robots. Take a look at what is on show in Australia, known as ‘I am a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here’. Showcasing some of the best opiniated characters. A politician, although he can’t remember. A singer, song-writer, nice guy who has left his stunning wife to do their TV slot in the UK. Also to cap it all a former boxer, and a female food critic who on ‘Medical’ grounds has thrown in the towel. Then we have an American youngish woman, sister of an singing prodigy. But I believe there is something not quite right about America and ...

The UK is not the only country having problems with its society. Dublin, the capital of Ireland has as well. A young girl and a woman, could be her mother were stabbed. And before you could drink your coffee youngsters and criminals were rampaging around the centre. Setting alight a police car and a transport bus. Plus of course the usual looting efforts. Obviously followed in great detail on TV News channels and wonderful discussions about what we should be doing. A scenario which is all too familiar. First we have the action, followed by film reports, followed by discussions about who is at fault. Followed by calls for the police to do more. Followed by politicians discussing what has to be done. Afterwards everyone goes home thinking about what a great job they have done. Except the victims are silently crying at home feeling bereft and let down by the society they also belong to. Knife crime has been a scourge for a very long time. It is an easy, too easy, weapon to obtain. You can...

A pertinent question was asked and written about in the Telegraph. This is a newspaper but also with a broad reach on the Internet. The question came about because the reporter Douglas Murray was in Israel and many asked him ‘What happened to Britain'? Well, it is a question I have asked myself a number of times as well. As I have mentioned before, I came to the UK in the Seventies, yes there were problems then but those were to do with the fights between Unions and the Government. Remember the man called Heath? But now, the focus has shifted to lifestyles and individual gratification. The famous, ‘I know what I want and I want it right now’. And ‘I don’t care what you think or want, the only way is my way’. Instead of a straightforward fight between downtrodden, lowly paid workers and ever-more grasping employers as well as a government that tried to be a dishonest broker (nothing new here then) we now have to suffer loud, very woke, liberal leftie groups clamouring to be treated...

Blimey, for once we had a HS (Home Secretary) saying the things that have to be said. Surely, anyone can see that political demonstrations such as have been happening lately are merely a basis for mayhem? So, now the lady has lost her job simply because our government has gone woke. Now we are in the business of pandering to all sorts of liberal idiots just in the belief that it will maintain a peaceful existence. Peaceful for who m though? As has been indicated now by many commentators, Britain has become ungovernable. We have had a procession of billy-goats, nanny-goats, even a few elephants all vying for the annual Pulitzer prize given for the best woke performance in government. Well, Suella is no more. Luckily she is still alive and now has become a dangerous backbencher. Did I say sometime government in the UK is rudderless and not fit for purpose? Every day there is something happening that shows it, without any doubt. Anyway, perhaps Shappsie is in line for another pr...

One of the problems about demonstrations is that they tend to be extremely one-sided. It is in the nature of the beast, so to say. When it is reported that thousands are demonstrating about ‘Free Palestine’ and other slogans which I am not going to repeat, you can figure out that no-one really is thinking about a possible solution. To simply ‘free Palestine’ if there ever was such an entity, will not solve the problem in any way. In Britain where we are used to a type of democracy which also has problems from time to time, we have little idea about the mindset of those who live in the Arab influence sphere. To set our values onto them, will not work. We might think that Israeli politicians are warmongers but we would be wrong. They are doing no-more that we have done for centuries and that is trying to impose influence and control over land. Indeed, as necessary by military methods. For years now, even before the world wars, arguments over who owns what and where in that area of the M...

Anyone remember Enoch Powell? The Conservative politician who was minister of Health in the Sixties. He was the politician of the (in)famous words ‘Soon there will be more of them than of us’ and ‘There will be blood on the streets’. Or words very similar to that. So, what was he referring to? Well, he presumably was referring to the influx of immigrants. But also their propensity to have more children than the then ‘norm’ of two. Personally, I believe there was never a ‘norm’ but presumably it was the ‘ideal’ number, having 2 children, as not to overpopulate the planet. Well, whatever, but I think he had a point. Looking at the present situation, the resigning of British politicians with Middle Eastern roots or just following the Islam faith, it seems somewhat a prophetic couple of sentences outed more than 50 years ago. There are no rivers of blood but one wonders – have the battle lines been drawn? I am just an observer, I have no problem with immigrants except to say that it is a p...

Rather than typing some political diatribe, this morning I was listening to a financial discussion. In particular about the amount of money paid back by the banks on account of cyber crime. That is to say the crimes like criminals impersonating banks or service industries like the power companies, and those are not the only ones! Billions of pounds are lost every year. Well, that might be so, but again despite hundreds of warnings, people generally do not seem to be aware of the danger. I too get the occasional phone call from the bank and almost immediately know it is not the bank. The person calling, a nice lady, sounds far too friendly and starts by saying ‘Am I speaking to Mr ???’. Well, my bank does not speak like that, I can tell you. And that’s the way I like it. Although phonecalls are not often received, one can easily receive an official looking letter, again you have to ask yourself ‘What is it, why do I get this?’ If you are not sure, phone the bank on their official tele...

People are talking about the planet being in trouble. I’d like to rephrase that, the planet is not in trouble, we are. Humanity is in trouble. We have and still are, fouling our nest. And like all nests that have that treatment, it will fall down, rotten, disheveled and no longer fit to harbour the life that built it. For those with the right mindsets, clearly thinking individuals, it all seems a lost cause because the situation is quite clear. The general public across the globe know full well what is happening. The media is showing the extent every single day. Be they storms, wars, uprisings, droughts, heat, ice melting, polar icecaps disappearing before our very eyes, we see it all in glorious full colour 3D! Yet is anyone changing their behaviour? Eh? What do you mean, changing behaviour? Me? Are you mad, I need a holiday in Spain. Yes, that is the general answer to the problems. It is the old Dutch saying ‘Na mij de zondvloed’. Translated – ‘After me the deluge’, For me it simply ...
