     American politics is collapsing into an absolute farce. Instead of well-researched details properly obtained and verified we now get off the cuff remarks that bear litle truth to the reality on the ground. What is even worse is the continual kowtowing of European leaders in order to ‘safeguard’ their perceived standing. I remember the ‘Dear Donald’ moment performed by NATO secretary-general Mark Rutte. He was just seconds away from trying to kiss Trump. Hopefully without tongues. But it is the situation today. So, an emboldened Trump who has seen his ‘off-the-cuff’ actions succeed has now started on a serious attempt to acquire Greenland as being part of the United States. That must be one of the silliest mistakes a leader can possibly make. Attacking an ally who is also part of many of the same institutions. NATO in particular. As soon as that came to the Kremlin, they held a champagne party to celebrate the obvious legitimising of their Ukraine invasion. If ...

    This morning’s TV news is as per the usual an eye-opener on the incredible incompetency of our hallowed public servants. Whether elected or just employed they all seem to have gone to the same school. It was incredible to listen to the leader of Cardiff Council talking about there not being enough school places for the children. Really? No shit, baby. It is something people like myself have been saying for so long it has become a song. The problem is quite easy to see. Housebuilding by the thousands and when people have moved in there will be children. Either ready made or being born. You know what they say – new house, new baby! Might be something to do with the soothing noise of the Air source heat pump I suppose. Time and again the same problem surfaces, the lack of infrastructure. It is fine to build houses but what about the services that will be needed? The shallow thinking is so pathetic it is akin to the American White House style. Are these the people lea...

      You can say whatever you think about Baby Trump. The way he conducts politics, the way he sounds off on social media, whatever. But in one of the Quora messages about him, quoting a post from his Donald J. Trump account he has posted the following about there is only two options to deal with illegals – 1) Deport every 3-world immigrant, illegal alien, and America hating Visa holder and 2) Surrender your nation the way the UK have and watch your society collapse in the coming years.      The observation from point 2 is very spot on in my opinion. In fact it has already well progressed. Society in the UK and viewing it from my sofa is fractured beyond repair. Even in small places such as where I am living we are seeing immigrants, social misfits, drug addicts, you name it being sidled into society. Housing being built in so many places, lots of unsuitable places just to accommodate the influx. What local councils don’t do is quite evident as w...

Reading a Telegraph article about decline was to say the least, eye-opening. Obviously I have been thinking about decline in many different ways, you cannot escape it as the signs are all around us. It even comes to the point of thinking, ‘What is the use of humanity on this planet’? In the wider world most of us, as the Telegraph article pointed out, do not think about decline. Basically, we tend to accept it. Same for myself, I think about it, I wonder why, then go back to sleep. Yet it should really bother us. The problem becomes much worse when politicians do the same. They think about it, then accept it as a state of affairs. It happens, accept it. As such nothing much is really done, visualise the boats on the Channel with literally thousands of immigrants. Basically accepted, visualise the NHS and its inabilities to come to grips with waiting times and also the lack of beds. All basically accepted as the way it is. Bar the usual fuzzy TV debates as how they are going to attack t...

It is a great time for European politicians to start trying to figure out how they so miserably failed. Failed in their own defense, failed in anticipating the way the US is doing its politics and primarily its views on world power blocks. Don’t tell me it was not known how Trump behaves and what he is about. It is like “Ah, let’s not worry, we will control him”. Yes, and how do you control an unpredictable human being? It is like walking through the African savannah ignoring the lion stalking you. Don’t be surprised if you end up in its stomach. The situation with Trump is simple, he has the idea of power blocs. He, that is to say the US, is to control the western hemisphere. The American action in Venezuela shows that without doubt. More might follow there. Cuba, Bolivia and possibly Brazil as well. Greenland is a dead duck, the US will almost certainly take it over. It isn’t really about security, it is more about resources. Greenland has rich veins of lithium amongst other metal...

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...

Watching some of the TV news you might get the impression we are all mad. We have politicians pontificating about issues they have no idea about. You only have to watch the Australian PM or one of our own dwarves named Starmer. As a matter of fact you noticed I did not name the POTUS. I like him actually, at least he seems to know what he is doing. Alienating about everybody else on the planet. I also think it is about high time politicians, at least the top politicians stop putting into the pot ideas they have about how to rule. To be brutally honest, those ideas are just pantomime. It is high time they start thinking about what the country as a whole desperately needs. Politicians also need to understand you cannot be friends with every Tom, D*ck and Harry. But surely politicians need to get to grip with the finances. Basically because what you don’t have you cannot spend. If you do spend what you do not have there will be a cost. Just to mention here that cost to the UK population i...
