Trump waffling? No....really?

Ridiculous waffle is what the Daily Express says. Yeah, about who and what? The beautiful manicured and gay haircut wearing PM, Keir S. Indeed the foremost distributor and owner of the Pulitzer prize for meaningless waffle. Has there be anyone more unprepared to be Prime Minister than K.S? I knew his number was up when Trump warbled from the White House he could do business with him. That alone is more than enough to bury one. Just look at how the American present-day political crowd think. Zelensky is nailed on the cross and Russia is now the cleanest country in the world worthy of emigrating to for a better life. Friends, this is how we, ordinary people are led. By idiotic half-wits who cannot think beyond their front door. How sick is the reported demand by the US for $500billions worth of Ukrainian minerals as ‘payment’ for their ‘help’. Who needs friends like that? As I said, the Ukrainians are thrown to the wolves or dogs, depending what you are used to say. Now, it may all be st...

Anyone care to tell what's going on?

Three years ago an aggressive nation invaded a neighbour on the pretext it needed ‘security’. Whatever security they were thinking of is not very clear but it seems that even today Russia because that's the nation we are talking about, needs for some reason a hundreds of miles wide belt of land around its borders to ‘thwart’ those nasty Europeans who are all members of a military organisation called NATO. Obviously no-one mentions that NATO was set up to ‘thwart’ those ‘nasty’ Russians from invading or even start a nuclear war. So, yes the impasse is right in front of our eyes. It is not going to be solved either, at least not in my lifetime or indeed anyone else’s life time. Simply because the Russian mindset is about one thing – world domination. Probably a left over from their Mongolian forefathers who were rampaging all over the steppes, probably just to see how far they could get. Europe and that unfortunately includes the more populous western part of Russia, ever has suffere...

Housing? Sure...but how?

If you haven’t figured out what goes on, please wake up. Politicians talk an awful lot about housing. We must build more houses. More and yet more. Even to the point to free up green belt land. This to be named grey belt land. Yet this morning there was shown a BBC news item about the hospital crises. How many older people are in beds but could be at home as long as there was some care. Care at home or care in care homes. I know that sounds odd but care homes are NOT homes, private homes. Anyway, the point here boils down to yet another so-called effort by government to alleviate pressures on society because there are too many homeless or families living in unsuitable accommodation. In other words, for a long time now the demand for housing has outstripped availability. This has been so for a very long time. It seems the government has still not figured out why this is so. Or if they know do not really want to address it right from the bottom. The question of whether just building ho...

A political view - outlandish? Well...eh...is it?

How about that! The Americans, or rather the American president is selling out Ukraine. After a cosy telephone chat with Putin, it has been decided to throw the Ukraine to the wolves. Russia’s conquests will stay Russian and Zelensky will be declared a criminal. It seems to me that although I applauded Trump for his stance on all the woke business that has pervaded the western world, I do not think we can trust the Americans. If you do not dance to their tune, you are a dead duck! The United States is no longer the fighter for freedom unless it is theirs, anyone else can go fish (but not in the Pacific). More and more I want to see us here, the UK, take up the cudgel and form together with France and Germany the beginnings of a strong European army! But not to dismiss any other European nations. Nations like Sweden and even Italy. We can no longer depend on the US. Europe has to become the greatest power on the planet. The US is finished and on the decline. Now, I know it sounds the b...

Now something more brainy again?

Staring up at the sky one clear night in South Wales, ignoring some of the light pollution in order to see if I could notice the asteroid which was promised could be hitting the Earth, I saw precisely what you are able to see on most clear nights. Clear nights in present day South Wales is a bit of an hit and miss affair. Even so, I started thinking it did look endless. Reading some of the many technical websites concerning the Universe and pondering words like ‘Big Bang, String Theory, Expansion’ to name only a few I began to wonder whether the BB actually happened. Obviously, astronomers have figured out as the Universe seems to be expanding, ie the space between matter is enlarging there must have been a beginning point. A black hole of gigantic proportions perhaps. First of all I think the Universe is the wrong name. Especially as most people think it’s all there is. I equate Universe with the matter, anti-matter, dark matter that originated some 13 or so billion years ago. But all...

Interesting times? Hell yeah...

 Interesting times we live in, not? America’s Trump throwing executive orders all over the place, to Britain’s David Lammy, a British politician who has served as Foreign Secretary since July 2024, insisting Britain owes a few trillion pounds to Caribbean nations. I’ll have a look at my bank account straight away to see if I had my annual interest. To Rachel Reeves insisting the UK is buoyant. May I ask what have we, citizens , done to deserve all of this? But to be fair, does anyone ‘normal’ (i.e proper male or female and loving his or her country) think Trump has done anything wrong? Surely, it was about time to right this woke hurricane that has enveloped the western nationalities? It is about time LBGT+ people button the cakeholes, and let them get on with trying to make a living. It is about time that someone said there are just two genders, female and male. OK, we might think trying to wrestle Greenland away from Denmark is a bit much but let’s have a look why Trump wants i...

You're flying to oblivion? Ask Eddie...

There are some uncomfortable truths to be highlighted. The accident in the States with a helicopter flying into a descending aeroplane carrying over 60 people is a case in point. Just have a look at Flightradar24 to see how many aircraft are in the air at any given moment. Apparently 100,000 every day, every hour. Imagine the stresses on flight-crew and more so air traffic controllers. Perhaps it is time to have a real chat about the impact on everything caused by the air travel industry. There are signs that in the States people are using air travel like we do bus trips here. ‘Oh darling, just popping out for a Chinese, be back in an hour or so’. Perhaps a bit too flippant but it has been said by a few people. It is also why I am also convinced we will not deal, we cannot possible deal with climate change with this going on. Besides leaving the political side such as off the cuff marks by a certain president, it is surely time to start thinking about what humanity is actually doing. I...
