New Year Musings

As I am a reader of Quora and know that 95% of it is absolute crap, somethings the remaining 5% show up some insight what is really going on. One of the those asked ‘Is Britain (the UK) on the brink of collapse? Now normally I would laugh at such a question but lately? No, I am not. Let’s have a look, are there indicators? Well, yes weak government as the article says ‘Complex, ineffective government systems’. I would go further and say simply, ‘The government has lost the plot’. The article also states ‘People have lost faith and question legitimacy in institutions’. That would be a recipe for insurrection or let’s just say ‘revolution’. It also stated there was ‘Inequality rising towards dangerous levels’. Yes indeed, that is very visible. Looking at Wales , Scotland and comparing that with London and environs, there is an unbelievable difference. What’s more most of those who support that situation are MP’s from the Home Counties. Even so, in the middle of all that excessive ‘wealth’ there is insurrection brought about by the self-same fools who call themselves MPs not controlling proper integration of those who need a better life and come from outside. Of course the majority come from Asian and African countries but some from poorer home backgrounds, ie Wales.

The youth in Wales cannot find work unless filling shelves in Tesco or wiping someone’s backside. Even those with a proper degree can be found in the superstores filling the shelves or are based on time limits filling trolleys to go out for delivery. That is the ‘economic miracle’ of Wales, you know. The English once again are desecrating our land building big solar panel farms and poisonous wind turbines. The story is different from the coal era but the results are exactly the same. The other thing very visible today is the building of substandard houses, one of the ideas of that ‘wonderful’, ‘knowledgeable’ set of ‘nunbskulls’ in good ol’ Westminster. The solution of the Immigration problem? Oh yes, simple, just build cheap housing. We have plenty of green belt land the Cons had set aside for wildlife and plant but who cares, bees and insects do not matter in the scheme of things do they? Will someone tell the wonders, they absolutely do?

The thing the article omitted to point out is that one of the signs the UK is collapsing besides overspending on social issues, is allowing the degradation of the environment. On this New Year’s Day I was doing a walk around after coming back from my daughter’s home celebrating the ending of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. We had a small glass of bubbly, yes unbelievably just one bottle was purchased- weren’t we good? And had late night chats with all the family across the world via WhatsApp because it’s basically free. Just as well because we can barely afford all the increases the Westminster wonders have decided to charge for their ‘Making Britain great again’ effort. But on the way back it was devastating to see the amount of rubbish that lies on the roadsides and on our New Year’s Day walk through the woods, even there tins, empty bottles, discarded Big M packaging and uncollected dog sh*t. Then back home the main road where I live was festooned with discarded Amazon packaging and Evri packaging left by its drivers who could not figure out who lived where and decided it had to be their Christmas bonus. Britain collapse? Yes, sir it is already happening and it will not be long before an enemy decided we are easy pickings. Ask Trump or Vance what NATO means?

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 ...

The mantra is 'Build, build, build!

The m antra today, the political mantra that is, appears to be – 'affordable housing'. Sounds good doesn’t it? Well, at least it will sound good for those looking for a home, house or flat, which they can afford. The new Labour government and it was the mouthpiece, the deputy PM who stated unequivocally, ‘We will be building millions of new homes all across the country within three years’. Absolutely bl**ding brilliant. I am applauding. Hey wait, are there any thoughts on this? Has the government researched this properly? Or is it as per the usual government action, a lovely soundbite? Let’s assume they will do what they said they will do. First, the land, where will they be built? Londonistan is full and the land around the city is needed for recreation. They are not going to build on Hampstead Heath. Birmingham and other larger cities similarly, so they will as already indicated compulsory take land. It is not quite clear whether this will include ‘Green Belt’ land but I wou...
