Change? Let's hope but hold your breath...

As I mentioned before, No change, politicians are still lying. Remember Labour proudly boasting, there will be no tax rises, no nasty surprises? Guess what, as I suspected this so-called £22billion black hole is something Reeves dreamt up after a row with her husband. Or he didn’t make her breakfast with the customary bacon and egg. A total fallacy. Most of that dreamt-up black hole is actually the money Labour wants to spend on their ideas. So it is basically the amount they will be borrowing and blaming the Conservatives for it. They even probably are congratulating themselves for having this ‘brilliant’ idea. If anyone wants to know what shallowness in politics looks like, come to the UK. Frankly the political system in the UK is far beyond its usefulness. Democracy only works well with people of integrity. Lying is not governing, it is just hiding mistakes, or portraying fiction, a fantasy or illusion. The Labour top and spearheaded by Ms Reeves are already living in cloud cuckoo land. We may well ask what it will be like in 4 years time. Labour overall has never had a good input or even output on economical issues. They have always left a legacy of bad management. Unfortunately the last Conservative government tried to emulate that.

But we should ask as careful citizens – Why? Why do we have to have these sorts of situations? Ordinary folk just want to get on with life. It is hard enough without all these problems brought on by these charlatans. Do the elites we are saddled with actually understand that? Most of us ‘normal’ people understand well enough the need for some social care. There will always be the poor and downtrodden. Either through their own volition or through some unfortunate happening. Some help under those circumstances is a must. But there need to be safeguards in order to safeguard against misuse. But first and foremost we all of us need to understand the need to take care for ourselves properly. Perhaps our pension schemes, government and private need to be compulsory. Similarly health care. All working people appear to pay NI (National Insurance) to pay for the health services in the UK but in reality it is just a tax and not really used to pay for the NHS (National Health Service).

We need to have a look at across the water to see how other systems work. As I have mentioned before, the Netherlands operate a compulsory three tier system but with some leeway for social help. In other words I am aware there is no system that can cover all eventualities. The British NHS medical staffs work well for the most part but it has difficulties coping with situations like we experienced. Covid and also the population increase. One of its biggest problems as I see it, is the enormous administration. The paperwork alone eats up millions of pounds. Management has grown enormous. Tales of multimillion pound bonuses for the top do not seem quite appropriate. Certainly not when looking at its performance. Well, we have to see how it will all turn out. Maybe we will improve, maybe it will just get worse. 

Ed: You see the word 'dreamt', it is the British past tense form of the verb 'to dream'.

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...

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...

Legal system a joke? Rather...

Just came back from a very nice holiday in this country. Who wants to go to Spain? I don’t. Not when we have splendid beache s such as at Amroth, Pendine and Tenby. So having returned now and feeling all refreshed and hyped up ready to face the virus I am reading the same old stuff in our wonderful newspapers and listening to the newly voted ‘woke’ liberal-leftie BBC . But one thing bothers me and that is the legal system in this country, Well, certainly as it is at the present. Take those three young idiots, Bowers, Cole and Long. Who caused the death of a policeman when racing away from a crime. No matter how you look at it, they killed a policeman on duty. That is not something you should be smirking about. Then on top when caught they just could not see what they had done wrong. They killed someone by their actions, that is plain murder, not manslaughter. The difference here is that they KNEW what they were doing. These three need to be put away until they are 50 yea...
