Well the Budget has hit the podium and the play has begun! Will anyone with a brain shut the door when they leave for the airport or port? Does anyone think this Budget will do what is said it will do? Fat chance! Will the loss of the two-child limit do what our brainy Chancellor says it will? No chance. What it will do is give more money to those on drugs and booze, or pay for the gambling habits. The kids will be as poor as they have always been. It is the bane of humanity especially in Britain. There will just be an increase in the unemployed as for some it will be so much easier not to work at all. I know this is a pretty negative state of affairs but can anyone dispute the reality? For the most part it is already and has been so for quite some time. To diminish the rules is not what people need. Overall the welfare state has just grown again. What did we expect? Labour is the party that murders the economy and has done so every time they came to power. I was listening to the bello...

Good grief, the Americans are at it again! Frankly, does anyone, in particular good-willing politicians trust America and their negotiators any more? I doubt it. But let’s have a look as to why I want to pinpoint this. Obviously, the first point is the treatment dished out to the Ukrainians and in particular their president. Frankly, Zelensky towers 6 miles over that silly Trump. All Trump wants out of this is mining rights and the cash to rebuild what has been destroyed. Nothing else matters. The broomstick behind the door is withholding the needed weapon systems. Then we have this idiotic 28 point peace plan. Does anyone with a brain think that will work? With the Russian penchant for breaking agreements, who would? Zelensky is in an impossible situation. Many wonder what Russia has over Trump? If I was an American I would certainly press for Trump’s accounts to be minutely researched. The adage is where there is a question of probity, look at the money and sex. I wonder how the Amer...

Just wondering why planners, indeed the government, think it is a good idea to plaster the countryside with small houses, no garden, and acres of solar panels? Does every person in the various offices think it doesn’t matter about a healthy environment, indigenous wildlife? Humans don’t need areas for growing their food any more? Perhaps it is easier to import? The problem with all that idiotic planning and rules is eventually the pigeons are coming home to roost! As the climate heats up growing areas in southern lands will dry up and importing their once plentiful fruits and vegetables will no longer be available. Those that are still will be exceedingly expensive. But hey, we are alright in Britain, we are warm and can drive our EV’s. Except, just to remind our clever lawmakers, we cannot eat or drink electricity! One of the problems is overzealous politicians with one burning desire to fulfil an idea they have and come what may to do it. Ed Miliband is just such a man, wanting to ma...

Do people ever think about how the nation pays its bills or even how it distributes its income? Probably not, viewing the ever increasing demands. Also of course by government itself seemingly not able to curtail its spending habits. This idea to drop the two-child cap is one of those issues. One wonders who thought it is a good idea? Are British people now so accustomed to hand-outs? Indeed, too many now believe we do no longer have to work. Life is a never ending holiday. How did we ever think that a society can just sit back, smoke cigars and drink beer all day long? A society only will be successful when its people work towards it being successful. Even more, it is a continuing action. Today one can see this across all the nations of western Europe. Worse, to pay for this ever increasing social bill fracas, our collective defences have been denuded of money. As a result we have left ourselves open to aggressive action by belligerent states like Russia. It is despairing to see the y...
