One of those most wonderful sounding statements from politicians such as our knowledgeable PM is “ Making lives better for working people”. From where I am sitting that’s not very much then is it? The way our country is going and being governed is there will be more and more people who are NOT working. One way or another, either being so-called “Unfit” or have the latest fad “Mentally unfit”. It doesn’t seem to bother them because loads more are in the waiting queue. We hear more and more of young people who just want to travel. Vietnam seems to be the place six-formers dream of. The funny thing is our PM seems to be totally unaware of this state of affairs. Or if he is, just closes his eyes and stops cotton wool in his ears. He just loves being on the world stage looking like a prat. He has no idea what is going on, he just carries the royal letter of invitation to come and watch Trooping the Colour. We are good at that. In any case the lives of working people is not getting better it...

How many times has it been that some politicians are shysters, or at worst criminals? It seems the human preponderance for liking money and power outweigh anything else. To get to the top come what may is the wet dream of many aspiring to what they believe is greatness. The biggest examp0le of course is a certain American would-be politician. One of my most liked political correspondents or if you will journalist, is Trevor Kavanagh. His articles pull no punches. You might argue he is a rabid rightie but I think you’d be wrong. As he indicated in this Saturday’s article in the Sun newspaper, “Our Ang knew what she was doing, furthermore Keir did as well and knowing full well what she had done still ‘supported’ her”. When everyone else knew the writing was on the wall. Keir’s political acumen is not great, but for Pete’s sake he is a Human Rights lawyer, a barrister no less. What does that say for the legal profession? If you don’t believe me, read this Wiki – Keir Starmer the Prime Min...

This is probably the mantra all politicians have. There are plenty of examples of this, the latest being the furore about the (in)famous Ms Rayner’s liking for property. I suppose on its own there is nothing wrong with buying a house. If you haven’t got the money, just get a mortgage or a rich benefactor. For me the questions concerning her issue is simple. Two things spring to mind, '1. Taxes and 2. Where did the money come from'. Bearing in mind the lady is always happily mentioning her very poor upbringing. In my mind such situations tend to last a lifetime. Unless you do something about it. Obviously in her case she did,. She joined the Labour party. The Wiki says: She later trained in social care at Stockport College and worked for the local council as a care worker. She eventually became a trade union representative within Unison . Knowing for myself how difficult it is to raise your head above the parapet, one would have to applaud her for at least having done that. The ...

So, Mrs ‘I am from a poor background’ Rayner has made herself a bit richer. Well, actually not really because she bought a nice seaside property for some hundreds of thousands which you and me can only dream of. Bear in mind who she is. She is the deputy PM. Basically just a mouth. By the looks of it not even engaged to her brain. I have always wondered how top politicians suddenly come into money? Sure, they don’t steal it, not necessary. The public purse is bottomless, they just find ways to pay themselves. If that doesn’t seem enough they just vote in a few ‘needed’ changes, such as ‘Summer payments’ or ‘Winter support payments’ or even just vote in stipend increases of anything up to 20%. Plus housing allowances, cost-of-living allowances and let’s not forget ‘Turning up payments’. Payments for turning up at Parliament, Constituency do's and Industrial visits. You will notice the names do not appear anywhere in public and I have just named them as I feel they should be called...

Reading some of the blogs, Question and Answer sites like Quora, you quickly pick up that the human population consists of absolute morons. It is like everything else, the world is viewed through and by the emanations of a minority. Meaning of course when one says ‘the human population consists of absolute morons’, it is a poor expression but true in the sense of having just read a stream of nonsense. It may colour even your own views and that is the danger. We all know very well what we are doing to our planet. Some of us suffer enormously, just look at the rain falling in Pakistan. Even the monsoon is getting out of ha nd . Why? Because of the way all of us live our lives. So, yes ‘the human population consists of absolute morons’. In one of the Quora questions it was asked, ‘Why don’t we all, billions of us, lay down side by side on any and all roads, stopping everything’ . A serious question I would say but obviously totally improbable since even my own neighbours here where I liv...

Being a big fan of the journalistic emanations of Ms Julia Hartley-Brewer I read her latest outpouring with a heavy heart. Not a truer word has been written. Her exposition of today’s state of the nation is an eye-opener of a magnitude equal to the nuclear arsenal of the United States. Her description of the way police now works, especially in our larger cities where gangs now operate with impunity and violence just to grab whatever they can from shops that are still open. As Julia said, but for how much longer? In my neck of the woods it happens on a smaller scale but it still does and as a result many shops have disappeared. It is a malaise of gigantic proportions and costs us all billions of pounds every year! I have asked myself, why I accept all of this happening. Am I perhaps part of the problem? By simply accepting the state of affairs and just blaming politicians. Sure, politicians must carry most of the blame by their general attitude. We may call it woke attitudes but that’...

The question whether British governments, yes all of them, are criminally negligent needs an answer, and soon. An answer before they completely sink this nation due to their incredible incompetence. It seems to most ‘normal’ Britons the political hierarchy lives in a bubble. A bubble of make-believe, a bubble of fanciful ideas, a bubble of sunshine, sangria by the beach every day. Let’s take the issue of immigration, does anyone think that this can end with the way governments behave and think? No? Neither do I. Today we have a so-called Human Rights lawyer as Prime Minister, what he has forgotten is the rights of those who elected him and his abysmal party. The whole British nation is now feeling the effects of the government’s failure to act decisively. More and more small places are seeing immigrants entering, immigrants who must be fed, clothed and educated. The costs are loaded onto to the backs of local people who are fleeced of every penny the councils can get hold of. The other...

An old wise chap in the distant past said something along the lines of ‘When leaders lose the trust of the people, revolution follows’. An interesting saying in view of the way government performs in Britain. It goes without saying really that we elect governments to lead us. But perhaps it ought to be pointed out that we do not elect governments to dictate to us how we should eat, sleep, speak or think. The problems stems from people who think they know all and insist to impose this on others. Take Human Right lawyers, I have said before ‘What are human rights’? Now before someone throws a load of law books on my lap, explain then why just born babies do not get born with a list of rights in their tiny hands. The point I am trying to make is that no-one is born with rights to live. If there is no care by parents you’re a goner. Rights are made by societies, for the betterment of all. Rights come with responsibilities, if we decide on a right of free speech – as we did some time ago ...

It ought to be obvious to every Briton, rich, poor, or even comatose, the UK is not governed. In other words there is no government. There are people in the corridors and rooms of buildings designated to ‘house’ government, leaders of party or moronic personnel from something called Civil Service. Whatever that is. I said obvious because those that occupy the seats are people plucked from the street because they were happen to walk by the door at the time. The present day PM sat in an office, working on his latest diatribe against a nation called Israel when the coffee-lady came in to tell him a political party called ‘Labour’ needed help. As he had just visited his bank to complain about his overdraft charges, the teller who had ‘helped’ him, a nice lady called ‘Reef’ or something like it, he thought would be good at counting. That’s it, we have a new government as no one else could be found. Like this scenario? Who says it isn’t true? Every decision is followed by either a U-turn or ...

There are a few things bothering me today. They are the Post Office scandal and the idea that farmers must pay Inheritance tax. Now, it is beginning to show the government has lost its grip on the economy and hasn’t got much of an idea how to get out. Let’s take the Post Office scandal, we have here a clear mismanagement issue and possibly some bad influence by the then government when purchasing the computer system. Anyone thinking if there were brown envelopes flying about? Of course, there is no evidence and even if there was a smell they would absolutely deny any involvement. Listen to Paula, ‘I didn’t know anything about the system we purchased. I am not guilty and am a priest now, you know’. In the meantime those that were accused are dying still waiting for compensation. Some were offered much less compensation than they lost to the Post Office. I cannot help thinking the Post Office were pretty fast taking sub-postmasters to court and even forced some to sell all they had but ...

Being an avid reader of all matters Universal my eye fell on an interesting bit about ‘Where is the missing matter of the Universe’. Bearing in mind that the matter we all are made of, sun, planets, comets, stars, us only comprised some 5%. The rest is dark matter and dark energy. The word dark here implying it is there but we cannot see it. Now, bearing in mind that what we can see shows all is in motion. The whole lot is moving but we do not know whereto. There is something called the Great Attractor, a conglomerate of massive galaxies attracting our galaxy and all things close by. But now even that is attracted by something larger again! Scientists have termed this ‘Dark Flow’. In Quora it said ‘ Dark flow is an unexpected large-scale movement of galaxies across the universe, and we thought that our Milky Way, together with other local galaxies, is flowing towards the Great Attractor, a dens e conglomeration of many galaxies’. But also ‘It turns out that behind the Gre...

W e should all wonder what the government, and in particular the Civil Service, thinks about how they have let this country down. I would say down the sewer. It is incredibly sad to find our once pristine country, once a leader in the world hierarchy, so badly led. I just wonder in which book it was written that we will have to accept the changes in our once stable society. Of course there have always been those of a criminal mind but we have always been able to contain the numbers. But now with the incredible influx of foreign nationals, in particular those of the Arabian countries, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and under 25 years of age, the problems are now stacking up and virtually unsolvable. The fabric of our society is being eroded at an ever faster pace. This mainly because those that are flooding in across the Channel have no intention of assimilating. Indeed, many have intentions we better not mention but it includes dismantling this country completely. Then the Prime Minister ...

The PBS Channel is always quite interesting if you like history. In particular the world wars. I saw one about the rise of Mussolini and indeed about some of the ways fascism came to power. The situation after WW1 was not brilliant, many western countries were devastated, cities in ruin, starvation. There were also many refugees. It seemed inevitable that someone charismatic and not afraid to use some violence to impose the will of a party or indeed, an individual such as Mussolini became a prime minister. The two decades before WW2 were characterised by the rise of fascism mainly because people wanted law and order. Unfortunately these two things do not really fit into the fascist agenda. They talk about it but the actions are a poignant sign to what is going to happen. What is more worrying that the present period, also visible here in Britain seems to be a time of social unrest brought on by the inability of government to impose its democratic will. Meaning what people have voted fo...

We all have seen advertisements that want to buy your house for cash. Now, that seems great if you have had problems selling it, such as buyers who try their best to cut the price or legal delays such as boundary issues. Thus an ad like selling your house for cash, without legal fees or hassle, looks just the job. Right, but is it really? Recently I had a friend who went through this process. The first approach was simplicity itself, a phone-call which more or less was a reaffirmation of what the ad said. So, after agreeing he waited for the Contract. This duly arrived. After cursorily reading through it he filed it away. He noted the agreed price and although not 100% happy about the reduction from his original price he wanted, accepted it since he would receive the cash very fast. The company after all was buying. Actually, after some time had passed he received a phone-call telling him that some offers had been received but it seemed the original agreed price was too high for his ...

Well, our American philanthropist aka Trump has been throwing around accusations of European nations not paying their dues. Dues as agreed to finance NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation). Figures banded about are 5% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product). But what exactly are we talking about? What is GDP in particular? It measures the total value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific period. In order to compute GDP, economists employ three different approaches: income, expenditures, and production. Although each methodology offers a unique perspective, they should theoretically yield the same value for GDP. The income approach calculates GDP by adding up all the incomes in the economy, including wages, rents, interest, and profits. This approach is based on the premise that all income must come from the production of goods and services. The expenditure approach, also known as the spending approach, calculates GDP by adding up all the spen...

If you want to know the state of British politics and political decision-making you could do no better than reading an article by Julia Hartley-Brewer. To sum it up in a single sentence – If we cannot stop the boats, how could we stop the Russian Army? Correct. Despite Starmer glorifying the so-called Review of Defence spending, the recent calamity of the umpteenth U-turn shows a different situation. The nation is completely submerging itself in a debt of gigantic proportions because it just cannot get to grips with the sickness culture. In particular the so-called ‘Mental Health crisis’. If you want to travel rather than work the only thing you need to do is devising a mental state where you can begin to claim as many benefits as possible. And off you go. Quite the thing to do now for the under-30 age group. It shows that although the Conservatives left an absolute shambles, Labour has just made it even worse. How you can make a shambles more of a shambles defeats me but hey we are ta...

All is well with the world, Glastonbury is happening! The BBC is cock-a-hoop, let’s interview all the weirdos. Yep, it’s the old old story, we dance as the world around us is collapsing. We dance to forget all the rubbish, simply because we cannot do anything about it, or we are just simply too lazy or stupid. Probably the last word. Why worry, the government doesn’t. Politicians are only interested in their own jobs and even at that they are miserably failing. How long have we had to endure the infernal boats? The ever increasing dinghies? Now full of state-sponsored criminals, rapists, and other odious persons. State-sponsored by even worse criminal organisations such as the Russian state. And some of us in high office are applauding. Why are we wondering some people are so fed up they take up a weapon and start banging on the drums leaving death in their wake? All of this just shows how powerless we have become. Once we ran over half the planet, now we are just shivering half-wits, ...

One of the things happening often in UK politics, the government making U-turns. Now ordinarily that’s not so bad because if you have made a mistake and after a year or so you figure it would be better to change, then do so. But in the UK U-turns happen within days! That shows policy is made on the hoof. Like in No.10 the cat has a brilliant idea, the Prime Minister immediately goes on social media saying cat food should be free of charge. Brilliant, great idea, everybody applauding. Two days later after vociferous opposition the PM declares that as cat food is now made from vegetable matter and Tofu, the cats have gone on strike. They want Kitekat back. So, U-turn. Brilliant, aren’t we doing well. Just a waste of time. Because in those few days there were hundreds of meetings, the Speaker of the House needed a private plane to attend a briefing in Honolulu about why cat food was too expensive and the surcharge needed removing. No-one knows why he needed to stay in the Hilton but appar...

Viewing the deteriorating world situation coupled with the meekly calls by European leaders to ‘de-escalate’, which both Israel and Iran will not adhere to but will increase escalation. You only have to listen to the rhetoric from Iran and the responses from Israel. It is time to declare I am signing up for joining a possible Homeguard. I am too old now to join the Army proper but I have had military training. Having been on national service in an European Army, just across the water. We need to be on our guard, also because of the increased sword rattling by the Russians. Coupled with the idiotic US present policy making and attitude, is a wake-up call of some size. It is strange that after so much time of humans being on the planet in some numbers we are ending up like this, fighting and this time it might spell the end of us. The old research about why increased numbers end up fighting each other seems to be absolutely true. In fact I believe it is genetically inbred. That rat/mice...

It was reported a day or so ago that some Senedd (the Welsh government) members felt that social media is used to viciously attack politicians. Even on a daily base. In other words, continuously. Good Lord, a politician complaining about being attacked? That is unheard of, never happened before. What is going on? Where is the Army, can we send the Royal Marines? Well, Trumpy baby can in the US, why not here? We must safeguard our valued politicians, they do such a valued good job it must be protected at all costs. Yes, yes! Well, it makes you wonder what type of politician we have today. Obviously they do not like it up ‘m, although they do not mind putting the hot poker up others. Miss Rayner didn’t mind calling the other side ‘scum’. There again Welsh politicians, at least some of them, are a different breed, coming from the inner regions where you see no-one for years the only thing they know about is sheep. Sheep listen, say nothing, and are easy to herd. So the poor dabs are not ...

D on’t we all feel great now today after the spending review by national accountant Reeves? Personally we should all be impressed that bank tellers know so much about national accounts. Completely ignoring debt levels and obfuscating how money is spent. Bellowing from the dispatch box how good it all will be. Defence spending? No problem, we will include spies, hide payments to foreign aid as defence costs, include embassy costs, include the military housing renewals and upkeep. Wonderful, we spend 3% on defence. Listening, Mr POTUS? And oh, by the way, we will build 12 nuclear submarines. Yes, Keir phoned me at 3am in the morning, he couldn’t sleep, said he had a nightmare about dolphins we had to do something about them. Stop worrying Mr President we are doing our bit, we are an island and safe. Russians don’t like water. What you mean, drones, what are those?  Dear oh dear, how deep we have sunk. The nation that kick started the world we live in today. Railways, penicillin, an...

The world of science is an absolute fascinating world. New things, new ideas happen all the time. Old theories get banished, new theories spring up. For most people the word Quantum is alike to ‘acrabadabra’ or perhaps ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’. Yet, today it has become the ‘In’ word. An article in the Independent newspaper about new research what the Big Bang is or maybe was. Usually described as the ‘Explosive birth of the Universe’, it might turn out not particularly true at all. Personally I have believed there was no beginning and there is by association of that word no end either. This newer research seems to point out that view. Basically saying we are the result of an ‘evaporation’ of a black hole. Black holes are not just an infinite point in space from which there is no escape. Black holes apparently do radiate gamma rays or even perhaps more. Humans are always looking for the easy answers. The question of ‘Where do we come from’, and ‘I had a beginning so everythi...

I t is unbelievable how proper elected governments actually behave. Yes, behave is the correct word because governing is not what they do. The immigrants problem is nearing flashpoint. But they do not care. The Home Secretary is more interested in upping her money and the Prime Minister is more concerned h i s hair looks good but never does. Shambolic is the word. When national newspapers have been treating the immigrant problem softly softly for some time, it is now becoming clear what excessive immigration, illegal immigration does to communities. The money we pay for this abomination is absolutely eye-watering and rising! We pay half a billion to the French police just to stand and watch immigrants going into the infernal dinghies to make sure no harm befalls them. In fact I reckon some of the police cheer the immigrants on their way. Then when the imm i grants arrive and they do in their thousands every year, we put them up in swanky hotels with free meals, free medical support, ...
