A pertinent view on the Church

May the Pope rest in peace as some reports stated, ‘He has gone to see His Father in Heaven’. A recent article I read on the web pointed out about the Roman Catholic Church’s position on quite a few things. Positions on women priests, abortion, death by choice (such as with a terminal illness like cancer), and a few others. In contrast with the Anglican Church which it said to be rather too liberal and tried to go along with many changes such as women priests, meddling with the dogma, changing services left and right centre. Although both Churches have had their problems with sexual deviations, in the main the Catholic Church seems to have dealt with these mishaps better. As a result the Catholic Church is reputed to be growing in the UK whilst Anglicanism is on a steep downward curve. We will not hear anything about it as in my own backyard the many Anglican priests have taken the view they should be more ‘in the world’. Meaning to be seen at festivals, embracing a very liberal attitu...

Pertinent observation? Yes, Minister!

O h why oh why do we have people in charge who just cannot tell what is right and what is wrong. Sitting on the fence all their miserable lives. One of those, Keir Starmer, yes he the one sitting on the prime minister’s chair, he is a case in point. When it suited him was very happy to jump on the bandwagon of wokeness, even declaring women could have penises. Sure, he was part of the Labour opposition so that’s OK then. He boldly declared, showing himself to be a man of powerful intellect, ‘trans women are women’. Right o, we get it Keir. Forward to 2025, some three years later and the Supreme Court has now declared ‘A woman is defined by biological sex’. Obviously we all already knew that, except Sir Keir and quite a few of his mates as well who needed a court decision to get it into their thick skulls that a woman is a person defined by their biological sex from birth. It remains to be seen whether their skulls are too thick for something as profound as that statement to get through...

A few thoughts for a change....

O ops, Labour is still on the control part. Controlling everything, inclusive of how we behave, speak, sleep, defecate, urinate, kiss, even masturbate. Angela Rayner is on the warpath! Just hoping she told master Keir what's going on. Sure, Labour has this communist legacy, it is not the majority but like everything in this woke country, the minorities have the upper hand. Thanks to their big mouth and willingness to step up onto the ramparts. Whilst most of the ‘normal’ people are just too willing to step back and let them get on with it. But there is a danger to that approach as we are able to note what’s happening in totalitarian countries. Freedom of speech has disappeared, one does what one is told or else. The red-haired AR would love that I suppose, kill off all men for a start. Well, let’s be fair only the Scots now know what a woman is. The rest of the country still dithers to figure out whether a trannie is a tranvestite or a man disguised as a woman with or without oper...

Complacency... OK, where..? Oh, yes...

A lot of words have been written as well as spoken about migration. Obviously migration as we experience it today with the so-called boats across the Channel. Firstly of all I believe this will not stop. Certainly not with the way present and past governments have tried to deal with that particular situation. There seems to be a belief by a lot of MPs migration is a good thing. Also it seems the governments are living in a different type of country the rest of us are. The present PM Keir Starmer is incredibly fond of burbling on about ‘Making the hard decisions’. It seems to have said to him it will make people more amenable to accept whatever you might have to come up with as far as taxation is concerned. Well, let’s see what the ‘hard’ decisions really are. As far as I can see it has just been taxation. In other words we all have to pay more for continuing the same ways, the same rigmarole, the same calamities. There have been no ground braking changes in the way we must deal with so...

Penguins of the world unite! Uncle Sam is after you!

I f there was any doubt at all that the White House is now staffed by imbecilic persons read this what Ian Dunt, a columnist for the British publication iNews said - "This might be the single stupidest thing any of us will ever see" , Dunt argued. "It is stupid in every way: presentationally, intellectually, politically, methodologically, morally and of course economically. The word stupid doesn’t really suffice for the full level of idiocy we’ve now reached” . Dunt found himself particularly appalled by the chart that Trump showed that contained wildly inflated figures about the tariffs foreign nations slap on American products. "It looked like something out of US daytime television – those garish cheaply produced shows where you can win a cash prize if you spin a wheel," he remarked. "You half expected a showgirl to appear behind the American flags, draped over a tariff quota rate. That’s what he is really: a cheap knock-off daytime TV presenter. The nu...

Broken Britain? What does it mean?

The Sun’s Saturday article of a week or so ago, Matt Goodwin pointed to some stark details of what he called his verdict on ‘Broken Britain’. So, obviously I am not on my own as I have been saying this now for a few years, on and off. In fact the cost of the national debt interest is even higher than I thought! Some £9billion a month interest? We may ask why do governments borrow so much? The rules of borrowing go for everyone. People, businesses and governments. You must keep an eye on borrowing as it can easily get out of hand. In the case of governments they just issue bonds. When the UK Government needs to borrow money, it can issue a bond, gilts as they are known. This is a way of requesting a loan from investors via the financial markets. In buying a bond, investors are lending the government money. By all accounts this debt stood at the end of March 2023, at £2,537.0 billion, or 100.5% of GDP ie £2.5trillion. The annual bill therefore is about £100billion! So, again why borro...
