So, Mrs ‘I am from a poor background’ Rayner has made herself a bit richer. Well, actually not really because she bought a nice seaside property for some hundreds of thousands which you and me can only dream of. Bear in mind who she is. She is the deputy PM. Basically just a mouth. By the looks of it not even engaged to her brain. I have always wondered how top politicians suddenly come into money? Sure, they don’t steal it, not necessary. The public purse is bottomless, they just find ways to pay themselves. If that doesn’t seem enough they just vote in a few ‘needed’ changes, such as ‘Summer payments’ or ‘Winter support payments’ or even just vote in stipend increases of anything up to 20%. Plus housing allowances, cost-of-living allowances and let’s not forget ‘Turning up payments’. Payments for turning up at Parliament, Constituency do's and Industrial visits. You will notice the names do not appear anywhere in public and I have just named them as I feel they should be called...

Reading some of the blogs, Question and Answer sites like Quora, you quickly pick up that the human population consists of absolute morons. It is like everything else, the world is viewed through and by the emanations of a minority. Meaning of course when one says ‘the human population consists of absolute morons’, it is a poor expression but true in the sense of having just read a stream of nonsense. It may colour even your own views and that is the danger. We all know very well what we are doing to our planet. Some of us suffer enormously, just look at the rain falling in Pakistan. Even the monsoon is getting out of ha nd . Why? Because of the way all of us live our lives. So, yes ‘the human population consists of absolute morons’. In one of the Quora questions it was asked, ‘Why don’t we all, billions of us, lay down side by side on any and all roads, stopping everything’ . A serious question I would say but obviously totally improbable since even my own neighbours here where I liv...

Being a big fan of the journalistic emanations of Ms Julia Hartley-Brewer I read her latest outpouring with a heavy heart. Not a truer word has been written. Her exposition of today’s state of the nation is an eye-opener of a magnitude equal to the nuclear arsenal of the United States. Her description of the way police now works, especially in our larger cities where gangs now operate with impunity and violence just to grab whatever they can from shops that are still open. As Julia said, but for how much longer? In my neck of the woods it happens on a smaller scale but it still does and as a result many shops have disappeared. It is a malaise of gigantic proportions and costs us all billions of pounds every year! I have asked myself, why I accept all of this happening. Am I perhaps part of the problem? By simply accepting the state of affairs and just blaming politicians. Sure, politicians must carry most of the blame by their general attitude. We may call it woke attitudes but that’...

The question whether British governments, yes all of them, are criminally negligent needs an answer, and soon. An answer before they completely sink this nation due to their incredible incompetence. It seems to most ‘normal’ Britons the political hierarchy lives in a bubble. A bubble of make-believe, a bubble of fanciful ideas, a bubble of sunshine, sangria by the beach every day. Let’s take the issue of immigration, does anyone think that this can end with the way governments behave and think? No? Neither do I. Today we have a so-called Human Rights lawyer as Prime Minister, what he has forgotten is the rights of those who elected him and his abysmal party. The whole British nation is now feeling the effects of the government’s failure to act decisively. More and more small places are seeing immigrants entering, immigrants who must be fed, clothed and educated. The costs are loaded onto to the backs of local people who are fleeced of every penny the councils can get hold of. The other...

An old wise chap in the distant past said something along the lines of ‘When leaders lose the trust of the people, revolution follows’. An interesting saying in view of the way government performs in Britain. It goes without saying really that we elect governments to lead us. But perhaps it ought to be pointed out that we do not elect governments to dictate to us how we should eat, sleep, speak or think. The problems stems from people who think they know all and insist to impose this on others. Take Human Right lawyers, I have said before ‘What are human rights’? Now before someone throws a load of law books on my lap, explain then why just born babies do not get born with a list of rights in their tiny hands. The point I am trying to make is that no-one is born with rights to live. If there is no care by parents you’re a goner. Rights are made by societies, for the betterment of all. Rights come with responsibilities, if we decide on a right of free speech – as we did some time ago ...

It ought to be obvious to every Briton, rich, poor, or even comatose, the UK is not governed. In other words there is no government. There are people in the corridors and rooms of buildings designated to ‘house’ government, leaders of party or moronic personnel from something called Civil Service. Whatever that is. I said obvious because those that occupy the seats are people plucked from the street because they were happen to walk by the door at the time. The present day PM sat in an office, working on his latest diatribe against a nation called Israel when the coffee-lady came in to tell him a political party called ‘Labour’ needed help. As he had just visited his bank to complain about his overdraft charges, the teller who had ‘helped’ him, a nice lady called ‘Reef’ or something like it, he thought would be good at counting. That’s it, we have a new government as no one else could be found. Like this scenario? Who says it isn’t true? Every decision is followed by either a U-turn or ...

There are a few things bothering me today. They are the Post Office scandal and the idea that farmers must pay Inheritance tax. Now, it is beginning to show the government has lost its grip on the economy and hasn’t got much of an idea how to get out. Let’s take the Post Office scandal, we have here a clear mismanagement issue and possibly some bad influence by the then government when purchasing the computer system. Anyone thinking if there were brown envelopes flying about? Of course, there is no evidence and even if there was a smell they would absolutely deny any involvement. Listen to Paula, ‘I didn’t know anything about the system we purchased. I am not guilty and am a priest now, you know’. In the meantime those that were accused are dying still waiting for compensation. Some were offered much less compensation than they lost to the Post Office. I cannot help thinking the Post Office were pretty fast taking sub-postmasters to court and even forced some to sell all they had but ...
