Independence? Why not...

Perhaps it is high time to figure out whether Wales should be independent. To be fair being a member of the United Kingdom has not been too brilliant for the Principality. Having been mostly used as a ‘Get-Rich-Quick’ area for predominantly English investors. That however is not to say Wales can afford to be independent. At least not without vast tax rises. Although it might have to establish a harsh social security system. In other words, it would have to be very difficult to obtain the sort of benefits as we see today. You either work or employed by the council at the minimum wage. The age of freebies would be over. I am afraid it sound very right wing but surely is there an alternative? The UK today is in hock for trillions, it has no change to pay it back, not in my lifetime or mine to come great-grandchildren. 

Even today £2.5 trillion national debt means that each and everyone of us is owing in real terms. No wonder the present government (if you can call it that) has no option but to increase taxes yet again and I am certain, with more to come in 2026. The fun bit is the chatter as to why it has to be, but no words about curtailing the overbearing and grossly overstaffed public services. We might call Mr Reform Party Farage for whatever misdemeanor we can think of but to be very honest, can we find anything wrong with what they say? As I have personally said before, our present government and a few before it, are criminally responsible for the mismanagement of the public finances. Criminally responsible for quite openly having abrogated the work they were elected for. Abrogating laws, agreements, customs or simply avoiding something they should do. 

Perhaps ask our fully fledged human rights lawyer what it means and how he sees his responsibilities. The same goes for our judiciary system and judges, even the police as it is today. Certainly, we have heard all the excuses but the reality is plain to see, authority has abrogated its responsibilities. Instead we have had to cope with badly formed woke platitudes which has meant we had to decide whether women have penises, moreover encourage young people to decide whether they should change gender.

People talk a lot about Gaza. The government decided to recognise a Palestinian state. They did that without researching all the facts. Again it is basically virtue signalling – look how good we are, we care. No-one knows if something like a Palestinian state is actually viable. Meaning if it was established it would almost certainly be dependent on foreign money, and lots of it. On top of that the West Bank would most probably not be part of it or perhaps just in a sort of federation. As you can see plenty of problems and we haven’t even mentioned Ukraine. Will someone tell Blair the facts, please?

Money, money, it's just so funny....Not

Just in case you thought everything was great then you have not heard the latest wonderful news from the US? Their debt ceiling might have to be £30+ trillion dollars? Eh? That is thirty million million million dollars. Excuse me, who is running that show? $30,000,000,000,000,000,000 debt. Well, that puts my own debt with the bank in some perspective. Just wondering what the US banks charge for all of that? It’s just mind boggling. What is more worrying is this – when such a ceiling will collapse, as it will, then what? We are always talking about how wonderful it is to live in a free world but is it really free when we are shackled by such debt? It is not just the US, Europe is just the same, in fact all countries seem to be burdened with debt. So, a good question to ask is who pays for all of that? Well, in a way it is you and me. We might save some money in some sort of a savings account (if we are lucky!) and the savings banks and others will invest that in government bonds hooveri...

Do we really understand our adversaries?

Having read one of the Telegraph’s articles, the ones that are sent called Top Stories on mobiles, named ‘Putin will soon turn his war machine on Britain’ , I wasn’t sure whether to start packing my belongings or laugh uproariously. It was attributed to Ben Wallace , a former Secretary for Defence, so it must be taken seriously. Looking at the article at first one can easily dismiss it as a bit of fanciful drivel, much like loads of other ‘ Telling you what is going to happen’ stuff. Obviously most does not, will not happen or are just fancy personal emanations of deep-seated fear of the unknown. Whatever, I wouldn’t think someone like Sir Ben would succumb to such fear. So, I read the article again and picked up the psychological slant on meetings with people who have had little discourse or meetings with opponents in foreign climes. People like Gerasimov, Shoigu for instance. What I picked up was the insular thinking by the Russian leadership. But these are the people who decide or ...

Bit of everything under the sun...

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...
