Musk, who is he? Oh, that one....

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 instance we are still saddled by the issue of colour. Public servants and the service do not prosecute because of fear of being ‘racist’. One may ask what the term ‘Racist’ has to do with criminal activities? From a judicial point, a crime was committed and therefore must be prosecuted. In the case of Rochdale there were prosecutions and lengthy jail terms imposed. Well, so far so good but other cases, Oldham for instance where it appears the government has rejected calls for an enquiry. It actually indicated that an enquiry should be held by the local powers that be. So, again Musk is not quite correct. There is a problem in this country, there are, have been 50 or more places where a GB News led investigation found child gang rape gangs were or have been active. Not good news, obviously and some action needs to be taken but I would say that commentary from the likes of Musk needs to be taken at face value bearing in mind his desire to be active in American politics. And as we know there is plenty wrong over the pond! Perhaps it is high time someone told Mr Musk to have a look at his own country before pointing fingers somewhere else. Being a rich business man does not give you the right to start critising other countries and their leaders. Leave that to idiots like myself. I am busy enough doing that in the UK and frankly am sorry to have to do that as in a better world it would not be necessary. It is how it is and we must be able to cope with it and put things right. Although I must say, to put things right is long overdue. Despite lofty promises, we are still holding our collective breaths! So, Sir Starmer, please put a bit of beef behind the effort and get started! Promises are lovely but action is better!

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...
