Rate this postThe world news is reporting on little more than madness and tragedy. But the the way the news on the middle east is being reported is ridiculously poor. The history of the current situation is being ignored and I make the case for better reporting below. I have to say first that I am not a supporter of the misogynistic regime in Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UK Prince Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud was

I have supported ‘We Own It’ for several years and this is my small contribution to reverse what Thatcher did to us forty years ago.

Rate this postThe creation of GB Energy sounds like a very positive move from by new Labour government, and indeed it should be! But… … it means that 12% of the profits from it end up in the pocket of King Charles III! Unless of course the government just takes the Crown Estates back into public ownership. That would reverse the armed land grabs made by Edward III in 1337. More on that below. Sir Alec Douglas Home’s main claim
Rate this postThe US and UK support for Israel is way past its sell by date. Biden’s response of “unwavering support for Israel” was chilling to hear . He and Sunak have learned nothing from history! I understand the violent attacks by Hamas because they have been side-lined by the UK, France, the USA and the UN since 1948. I do not support their violence, nor do I understand why Israel’s president Netanyahu is not in jail for corruption, but
Rate this postWater privatisation? Thatcher’s legacy? Gimme strength! All of us should understand why we are in such a mess with our water supply. In reality, only a few of us do, certainly not the BBC interviewers when questioning the water supply companies. Their ignorance is jaw dropping. The simple fact is that the UK of GB has more than enough water, even now, to supply everybody’s needs. The UK is very lucky in this respect. To quote Paul Waugh of
Rate this postToday John Major slated the current Conservative government, for the second time, for its lies and hypocrisy. He is probably correct in what he said but… Have the journalists who televised this man’s words forgotten what he did whilst Prime Minister between 1990 and 1997? Back to basics In 1993 he introduced a policy called Back To Basics. He intended this to be a nostalgic appeal to traditional values such as “neighbourliness, decency and courtesy. Just prior to
Rate this postTime to act on China, I link to a Sunday Times article written in July 2020 A page or so down, I link to a Sunday Times article written in July 2020. It traces Covid-19 from 2011 to 2019. An illuminating article which few seem to have read. It is long but worth the effort. It reinforces the position that Covid-19 really is “the Chinese virus”. I read it, open mouthed, when it first appeared in print last
Rate this postIt is not about you MPs – it is about the 17.4 million of us! The sight of those silly school girls & boys skipping down the road away from their political parties was just sickening. Who do those adolescent MPs, who have never created anything of worth, think they are? It is simply not about them or their failed political parties. It is about us, the 17.4 million of “We the People” remember them / us /
Rate this postThe words anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic suffer from obfuscation (lies), misdirection and at its very heart, an absence of a rational definition. The current row about Anti-Semitism, and what most people think it means, is flawed and dishonest. It is made far worse by sensationalist journalism. Truth and a rational debate is almost impossible to find and to quote almost all the media, “We are all very upset and angry about all those nasty people who are anti-Semitic, particularly
Rate this postThe Supreme Court is today ruling on something that really does not matter very much to ‘we the people’. Lawyers, who form the largest and probably the most vocal part of our so-called democracy have missed a very simple fact, on purpose. That fact is that a referendum is a direct approach to the people, and is the most powerful democratic tool that ‘we the people’ have. The executive, that is our government ministers, devolved the question of EU
Rate this postFrom Irish RTE TV channel program called The Meaning of Life. Fry was being interviewed for the Irish television show when he launched into an impassioned tirade about God’s existence. Stephen Fry, when he supposedly meets God, he says “How dare you create bone cancer in children! What’s that all about.” Just in case you have not seen this, I think Stephen Fry puts it quite well!

Rate this postIn the UK we have private schools treated as charities for tax purposes for no good reason that most of us can see. Other than, perhaps, the establishment who made those tax rules to save themselves money on their children’s education. After all, they need to separate their offspring from the great unwashed (that’s you and me if you were wondering) and therefore invented charitable status to protect their socially divisive academies. We also have a divisive education
