London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.

Not so long ago the UK voted in a new party to govern us all. Wonderful promises, working people would be treated like gods, they would sort out the ‘mess’ left by the previous ‘idiots’ and more. The question now after only a short time is – what happened to this heaven? Well, of course, it never happened. The trouble is ‘political double speak’ has now pervaded all of society. It is a bit like A.I, we don’t really know what is true and what is not. However, believe me when I say, most of it is untrue. Simple obfuscation of reality. The political class do not wish us to know the real state of the nation and believe me, it is not brilliant. How can the politicos be proud of the years of doing absolutely nothing? Yes, it goes across the spectrum. It is easy to talk about things, caged in wonderful words, like a pantomime. Studied appearances, how they stand, how they frown or smile. It is all just so much cr*p. We have became a nation led by third-rate woke artists. The only thing we do hear and often is ‘We need more money – which tax shall we raise, one or two or all of ‘m’? There is absolutely no attempt to right the wrongs, no attempt to properly lead the nation nor change the system to a more affordable one. The government has become so big a colossus we can really no longer pay for it. Despite promises of ‘streamlining’ and making it fit for purpose in the 21st century, it has just become bigger. It’s like a dinosaur, like them it will not last. The only problem is the mess left behind.

If we look around what do we see? The failure of all political systems – across the world and presently we are in danger of wiping ourselves off the map altogether. Russia might well break up, China is posturing, the Middle-East is a tinderbox, Europe is in financial straights. Like all situations these can only go so far before a rectification will happen. That usually means – revolution or war! It will be a sad epitaph of the gravestone of humanity – ‘We tried, yes really but we failed miserably because we just did not try hard enough’.

Locally, life goes on, we will be poorer whatever they say. The signs are clear enough, the system needs more money because there is no will to re-design it. In other words the government, Labour, despite promises are taking the easy road. Soak the blighters. And we are the blighters. Young people, old people, pensioners, all will pay the price for the unbelievable incompetence as displayed. 

PS - The title is from Sherlock Holmes - fits wonderfully well!

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 ...

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 parad...

Tonyrefail going to jail!

Always I have my ears (and eyes) open to happenings around, especially the rumours that abound. One of these rumours is about a jail. The rumours say that the Welsh Government had written to all Welsh local authorities to find out possible locations etc. The only Authority replied was Rhondda Cynon Taf. Interesting? Of course it is because now my brain begins to tick over. I am sure that the Home Office and as a representative, the Welsh government would want easy access to the motorway system. Here comes the M4! Not too far from the conurbation (Cardiff/Newport/Swansea). So that means Central Eastern South Wales. Next would be land ready for building. Guess what? Tonyrefail has a few sites already in that category. The best being the Coedely Mine (cleared) site. Why? It is not particularly near to housing. So, could it be Tonyrefail being the prime candidate? It could well be. I am sure the tight-lipped Council is playing a carefully laid -out plan and would in all likelihood den...
