If I said or wrote that I have inconvertible proof that Mr Keir Starmer is actually a Martian would anyone believe it? Apparently, the answer is yes. Notwithstanding I’m a Martian as well so I know what I’m talking about! Obviously, I am referring to the world of the almighty Web. The place where you can postulate stupidity like being a Martian and quite a few gullible persona’s will believe it. Hence we have autocratic regimes, nations even who have taken this on and flood the world of web with incredible falsehoods, fake news . All to subvert the free thinking, democratic world. I am not saying that the free democratic world is actually entirely free. In all societies there have to be rules. That is not to say we can do it right. Even in democratic societies we do not seem to be afraid to throw around a few porkies! Take the British fondness for inventing black holes. The present Labour top people whilst discussing their need for more money and swigging a pint of best ale suddenly fo...

And the freebies keep rolling on. We might think we elected a wonderful new government, socially adept and what happens? No change baby! The freebies keep turning up and are gratefully accepted by our wonderful governing elite. It wouldn’t be so bad if their earnings were on a par with those of most of us. You know, in the region of £24-£32,000 per year. But these elite will never learn as they feel themselves superior to the working man and woman. They think they fully deserve their £150,000 per year plus allowed freebies like housing and drinks to name a few, plus the others that are basically a sign of corruption! Did anyone think that Indian nabob gave all these clothes without expecting something in return? And then you hear a squeeky voice saying, No, No, he did it because of his high standards and those we share. He expressed his gratitude for our consistent financial acumen. Oh yeah, I saw a pig flying over the Rhondda, I heard the sonic boom! There was a condensation trail but...

Humans like myself have for quite some time talked about how people change when they get elected and become a politician. I am convinced that prior to the election they are fully charged (as they say) with a fervour that states ‘I am going to change the world and will make much better financial decisions than the present lot, vote for me is a vote for prosperity’! Except of course that actually never happens. We, the voters, have something I call 'Eternal hope ', we hope things will improve. However looking at the UK situation we see we have just exchanged one set of charlatans for another. Despite the weasel words mentioned here about making a better financial regime, it turns out it is the old, old way, just increase taxes. Instead of having a strong look at how society should be, ought to be, and change certain aspects of it like how we should be as a nation, how to bring the national debt under control without increasing taxes. Plus ensure all have a good understanding how ...

For some time I have been pretty busy thinking and writing some commentaries of the political scene. But it can be a bit much really although it is important as it influences everyone’s life. The way we earn our bread, the way we are housed, the way we exist. But there are other interesting things around. For instance Space exploration and knowledge. Looking at pictures taken from the old Hubble and now the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) I marvel at what can be seen. What’s more it generates loads of questions and possible explanations of what we see and how it could have occurred. I mentioned in a past blog article the question of where all the aliens are? Let’s be fair – we are here so it must be possible visualising the Universe and it’s enormous size there has to be an very large number of planets where life has developed. It’s simple probability theory. I think the reason of why we do not see or know about aliens is not that they exist, they do but because the distances are ...

Some days are dull, you know it when the skies are grey and drizzle falls . Other days are sunny and one can sit in the garden or on the balcony. Then we have other days that are just a bit of both but interesting because of some news. Today, apparently poor Donald (of the Trump fame) was targeted again. But on this occasion can I smell a rat somewhere? There isn’t a lot known, apparently there was an older guy in bushes at some golf course where Trump was playing or due to play. If it is all true then yes, it is a bad day for democracy but I cannot help but think someone in Trump’s entourage has thought how popular the presidential candidate was after the first assassination attempt. And because it seems the other candidate, the fiery Kamala seems to be running away with the flowers. Indeed, the Americans have become much more aggressively involved in politics. As a respondent on the BBC News Channel said, it seems like the 1930’s period all over again. That is when 4 nations were sub...

It so sad to continually have to listen to Labour’s mantra – ‘There is a £22billion black hole left by the Cons’ . Sorry people but it is a lot of absolute tosh! First of all I’d like to know who thought that one up and give him,or her the Pulitzer price for the best lie of the year. Almost everyday you will hear this, on TV on Radio and Keir Starmer has the note written on his coat. He even pronounced it on the plane whilst travelling to the US. I just hope Biden will be awake to listen to it and marvel! What a shower. Frankly, there is no explanation bar saying ‘just shut it people’. There is no black hole although there has been a black hole in the finances since the year when King William invaded at Hastings. All governments keep borrowing and borrowing like there is no tomorrow. This was highlighted by some busybody at some think-tank who declared that this country will need to raise taxes by £40billion every decade to get the national debt under control. Yes, you heard it, that’...

Although I was born in the Netherlands but have lived in Wales for most of the time, I feel Celtic inside and out. Ca i fy ngeni yn yr Iseldiroedd ond wedi byw yng Nhgymru. Gwych, wrth gwrs ond yn anffodus does dim llawer o bobl lleol yma siaradwch yr iaith! Hefyd dydyn nhw dim yn gwybod am ei hanes! Hanes Celtaidd. The fight for existence, first between tribes, Romans, Saxons and now the overbearing English. Slowly our character is diluted to such an extent that the word Welsh, Cymraeg no longer has any meaning. Mae’n drist iawn! It’s fine to have a few pints on a rugby match day, especially against the English but it’s not enough! Si ŵ r, byddwn ni’n hapus, os dyn ni’n ennill y g ê m, dim ond g ê m ydyw, on’d yw hi? Yn y cyfamser mae’r llywodraeth yng Nghaerdydd yn dawnsio ar ô l gorchmynion San Steffan. The Welsh government needs to be independent from Westminster, perhaps in a form of federalism (ffedraliaeth) since as we are together on a small island, defence needs to be share...
