Happy world? Hmmm, I wonder....

If anyone here thinks we are safe in the UK or indeed, safe in the western world, think again. For a start the climate which is worsening will make it almost impossible to live in the drier parts, plus make harvests in cooler climates due to excessive rain much more problematic. Hence, it is predicted that starvation will become common. Coupled with vastly increased human populations, already half the 8.2 billion people live in Asia, necessitating those that can to seek a life in the richer parts of the world. Politics also, that is viewing the autocratic regimes, will make people pack up and seek work and a life somewhere safer. These are not predictions, they are already happening. Nearly a million a year get into the UK bringing the (in)famous boat people.

Through a few experiments in the fifties to the seventies, researcher John Calhoun made efforts to study the effects of population density on behaviour. He provided limitless food, and secluded little apartments. He studied the behaviour of mice to see the effect of how it would develop when due to the plentiful food the population would increase. Due to overcrowding the once ideal living conditions spiralled out of control and fights, and killing ensued. Working with rats between 1958 and 1962, and with mice from 1968 to 1972, Calhoun set up experimental rodent enclosures. He hoped to learn more about how humans might behave in a crowded future. Well, viewing the results of the experiment and the behaviour of humans today, I think it can be assumed that overcrowding will be a problem of some magnitude. In the mega cities already established, the crime rates have increased already, drugs, physical attacks amongst a few more now being common place.

It is not how I would like to view the human race but the results are visible. It is incredibly worrying since our worshipful representatives and other non-elected wonders such as the (hard) labouring Civil servants, do not appear to be aware or even thinking about things like mentioned here above. I would have thought listening to their emanations of how they are going to save the human race prior to the General Election(s) one might have started to see some understanding and action! Now, they would contest what I just said here, obviously they would but the way politicos are performing, both local and world-wide leaves no doubt that things all in are not rosy. The key arguments as I see them would be the Middle-East, great swathes of Africa, the war in Eastern Europe and the general behaviour of the Russian Army. Not to forget the impending trade wars looming because of a newly elected American president.

One of the strangest financial exercises is also being fought out in the US, the ‘voted’ for bonus amount for Elon Musk. Anyone thinking that $58billion is fair? No? Me, neither. It is not so much the amount to one person, for whatever he will use it for – as an aside I wonder how much tax he would have to pay – but the standards set for other high-ranking CEO’s and company owners to want similar excessive bonus structures. Already the pay gap between these leaders of commerce and the ’normal’ population is at the 500 to 1 level.

These are the signs that the world situation is far from healthy, and frankly seems to be aided by elected politicians. Perhaps they have been looking at guys like Putin who does similar things but has no problem getting what he thinks he wants because there are no other people who are looking over his shoulder. Whether they have long memories remains to be seen, but I would continually be looking over my shoulders, just in case someone has taken offense.

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...
