I was not aware of the total dictatorship by Blair until I saw two of the three programs on his management of our affairs, on BBC TV – it was frightening. What has passed can’t really be corrected in most cases, but what frightens me is that when Gordon Brown and David Cameron are quoted… Continue reading Blair and His Divine Right

I’m worried, I’m sad, that things seem so bad For the child today, with nowhere to play. They’ve taken the commons, the playing fields For cash, other ploys, which only reveals How thoughtless they are, how narrow of mind, When money means more than a mind refined. By childish pursuits, not jointly with friends, Before… Continue reading It’s Not Fair!

The worry of excess immigration. With a probable world recession staring us in the face, we cannot continue allowing immigrants to swarm in here, which they will if not stopped, the figures coming out, at last justify that prognostication. There must be pre-vetting and skill assessment, and a sure knowledge of the needs and positions… Continue reading 03.12.07. Close Our Borders, and Give Respect.

Politicians and politics generally have suffered a lack of respect in the last decade, which to those, who care and have lived through the guardianship of many famous Prime Ministers, regret and could never have foretold. There are still some in Parliament and Stormont who work hard and act with dignity, but the main scenario… Continue reading 02.12.07, TV and PCs, The Scourge of Politics.

(Further to 22.11.07, A Number of political Comments,) Identity Cards are still going the rounds and also another product of immigration. I propose to try to analyse the need for them more deeply, as I feel they are an expensive aberration. The Government seems intent upon pushing ahead with universal ID, paid for by the… Continue reading 01.12.07, Politics, Immigration and Incingruity, 2

Mohamed. I find the story of the teacher, the little Islamic boy and the teddy, totally incongruous, by being made highly political. The boy is probably a 1st or 2nd generation immigrant. The teacher is clearly a political innocent, dedicated to teaching and wants to interest her class in her experiences in the Middle East.… Continue reading 30.11.07, Politics,Immigration and Incongruity. Pt 1

Who would be idiot enough to be a teacher today? With everyone jumping on the Educational bandwagon, with ideas, theories speculation, and shortages, is it surprising that those who know, and have no vested interest believe standards have dropped? There have been 13 articles on education in the Daily Telegraph inside 4 days, not including… Continue reading 28.11.07, God Help The Teachers!

The computer age has been a bane, for my generation, the over sixties, vulgarly referred to as ‘The Wrinklies’. We use it, some badly; it is used against us, it is unreliable and open to a level of crime in £bns per year, when we only think in thousands. We were brought up, and brought… Continue reading 24.11.07,You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide.

It has been said surgeons are overpaid. This is ludicrous, in the light of the earnings in the entertainment industry, the sporting industry, spec builders and entrepreneurs. Today stress is greater generally than 20 years ago. Never more so, it seems, than in the medical sphere, with spurious targets, a public more prone to self… Continue reading 23.11.07, The Maligned DHSS Medical Staff

I started to write about our political scene before I heard of the loss of personal information of half our population. The loss didn’t surprise me as I have been preaching that Government, from top to bottom, is computer illiterate, vulnerable to the computer technocrats, and thinks big is beautiful, when in fact in computing… Continue reading 22.11.07, A Number of Political Comments
