Talking science on a Channel5 program Prof Jim al-Khalili tried to explain something about the end of the Universe. Or rather how it would end. Now it has to be said if that happened it would be billions of years from now. No wonder we have sleepless nights. Whilst this is interesting the question is should we pay so much money into educating about something we will never see or experience? Is there something palpably important about knowing how the Universe will end? Obviously in performing these studies there will be attached discoveries that are important and undoubtedly will aid in the development of our present attempts to travel to the outermost reaches of our own solar system or even such a mundane thing like trying to establish humans on the planet Mars. Whatever. The whole talk began to sound like guesswork with attached scientific explanations such as the composition of the galaxies and how they measured the speed of them. All I got out of it was that either the Universe wou...

Whilst it is undeniably true knife crime is on the increase, possibly due to the ease at which the so-named ‘zombie’ knives can be bought, even from places like Amazon despite their denials; the efforts of politicians like PM Starmer will only drive it underground. The blunt truth of the situation is knives can easily be obtained. The political solution of yet more laws is the usual bit of, ‘Hey, look we are doing something’. It would, however, make it more difficult to buy from places like Amazon if one had to provide a picture of a passport without deleting the accompanying meta data. In fact it ought to be so that a personal name should also be in that data. The name of the person that registered the phone. Obviously even that could be falsified but the truth is that we are talking about people. And people are the most vindictive, aggressive and inventive animals to roam the planet! Politicians like Starmer should start to understand those few simple adjectives. Another problem is o...

Despite the world shattering message that the Clock that measures how much time we have left on this Earth has been set to 89 seconds before midnight, we learned Wynne Evans has decided to ‘take time off’ to strengthen his mental well-being. For those who don’t know this, Wynne is the Welsh tenor acting the part of Gio Compario in the TV ads for ‘Go.Compare’, the insurance comparison website. Lately he has been under fire for his purportedly sexist remarks. Interesting that people in the public eye still think they can say whatever they like. One would have thought that people in such positions would know by now how woke this country has become? Even a burp in the wrong place would ‘cancel’ you! Let’s have a look at what he has supposedly said. Also remember the ‘furore’ about his ‘wandering’ hands. This was shown on TV this morning and frankly it is the usual pooha about nothing. His hand was on the lady’s waist and she moved it slightly. Tell people who ‘saw’ the world move towards t...

As a former Reader in the Church in Wales (Eglwys yng Nghymru) I am aghast at the decline. I suppose there are reasons, probably the general decline in public standards, the voracious Internet and morally defunct social media, just to name a few. But we cannot dismiss the standards themselves within the Church. When I say Church here I mean the Anglican Church. From the problems commenced with the continuing attempt to accept gay marriage, to the belief that rock music will save the day and everything in between. The funny thing is that all of that has set myself thinking about what religion, what faith is all about. For instance, I have begun to see the many discrepancies within the Bible. Not a real problem obviously as the Bible is basically a great story of how a people became used to the idea of a single God. But the underlying message is a very powerful one. It is about spiritual strength. The truth is that I have never believed, along with quite a number of others about the Bib...

The focus this morning is on ‘Rubbish’. I have long worried about the huge amounts we discard. Our Council has changed its collection method from so li d ‘Wheelie Bins’ to black plastic bags. Not sure who thought that one up in the hallowed palaces of local councils, probably someone they have dug up from the local primary school. The result was as anyone with a brain could figure out in five seconds, an enormous amount of rubbish floating around. You ought to visit the area on collection day to see what happens. First of all, if it’s a windy day bags fly all over the place, even onto the roads. Do cars stop? Oh, Welsh drivers don’t stop for anything. Obviously the results are simple to figure out, the amount of rubbish within the environment has increased vastly. My town looks worse than a third world country city. Even Cairo looks better. The Rhondda is suffering bad decision making, careless attitudes from citizens and lack of maintenance. There have to be answers, even if some co...

Anyone thinking Britain is governed alright? Alrighty then, here is why not, paedos are going to be deported, yes but are still here after some 10 years and worse still living in the same house! Then we have a government which promised paradise on earth, which has rescinded almost ALL promises! Then to follow that jacked up NI tax so much that a lot of businesses are shedding labour. Borrowing, instead of falling has now reached levels unheard of. All by a government and led by an incompetent Prime Minister that keeps on telling everybody how bad the previous government was! Even to the point of pretending they had found a £22 billion black hole. A black hole no-one has even seen or detected. We have had sound bites after sound bites. Let’s not forget this tinkering with the NHS (National Health Service). The facts are simple – it will never stop needing money. The reason is simple, research advances and an aging population. But also the NHS itself trying to provide unnecessary procedu...

We seem to have a lot of foreign people interested in the UK. Politically speaking and some of them are pretty rich and have some clout. Take Elon Musk, a clever man, who is holding together a vast fortune as the ‘richest man’ in the world. But is he? Usually that wealth is measured in the companies owned. So, asset rich but cash poor. Anyhow, whatever . He sure does not hold back from attacking British politics. We should wonder about two things, both a positive and a negative one. The positive side here is, is he correct? The negative side is, he is wrong and a charlatan. Obviously, what he is saying has happened. Take the case of Rochdale child-grooming gangs. And not just there, others as well, Bristol for instance. Musk is blandly saying that Keir Starmer our PM has been lax, defunct in ensuring these men were prosecuted. Mr Starmer was the CPC (Crown Prosecutor Chief) at the time. That service has not been covered in glory, there are many things one could say about it. For instan...

If you you want to know how far this country has sunk, look no further than our ‘national’ broadcaster, the BBC. It seems the BBC is driving the woke attitudes now promulgated as ‘The way to live’, and to heck with everything else. I was reading an article in one of our national newspapers the ‘Sun’ about one of the Welsh shows called ‘Gavin and Stacey’. Where apparently people from the BBC were complaining about it being too white! Well, excuse me what is the name of this country and in which part of the world is it situated? Are we perhaps part of the African continent? The show is about Welsh people and their ups and downs, not about pushing same sex marriage, homosexual relationships, or transgender issues, all of which are pushed hard by the BBC. Any BBC show now must show mixed marriages, one or two gays, even someone in a wheelchair. To be fair, obviously these things exist, but if we are changing Queen Victoria into a black person I think you are just making a fool of yourself....
