I propose to use my own experience of the credit crunch to show what has happened to thousands of people and thousands of businesses, because those we trusted, chose to and were allowed to steal our money, hive it off, and not only not be taken to book, the government gave them even more money… Continue reading The basis of education is undermined

In all my life, I have never seen such insecurity as we have been subjected to in all those aspects of our lives that affect us most, created by the ever-changing mindset of a Labour Cabinet since Tony Blair came to office. It is no wonder that the educational and NHS environments are almost at… Continue reading The ever changing aspirations of No 10

This is not one of my serious posts, but matters that I take seriously, because they are so unfair and so absurd. Take the latest transfer fee of £80 million for a football player in the Premier League. If you take into account the unemployed, the children, the retired, the lower paid and the high-paid… Continue reading Just comments on absdurdities

I am referring to this daily diet of politics, in spite of the fact that I am also another one at it. I have already written my objection to politicians having others write their speeches, because I believe they should all be forced to write their own, if nothing else, so that what they say… Continue reading Stop! For pity’s sake, Stop!

It seems that everybody on TV and on the Internet is advising the world how to save money in the credit crunch, so why should I be different? Some of what I write here I have probably touched on previously, but for the sake of those who have not read it, I repeat myself. My… Continue reading On a lighter note, mix and match

It is not a game, it is our political future which has been ripped apart, often unreasonably, and it will not be possible to put it together overnight.… Continue reading My final word on Westminster and perks in general

I fear it is not only the government but the other parties as well, who have double standards. The people in charge of the banks, who through their actions orchestrated the credit crunch, and in most cases are still in office, are being paid now, presumably, by the public purse. At the same time MPs… Continue reading Rules for the very rich, the rich,and the poor

The fact that almost daily young men and women in our Armed Forces are being killed or maimed in wars that have nothing whatsoever to do with us, and for reasons which could be thought spurious, brought this plea to the fore. If the world requires policing then the world should supply the policeman, not… Continue reading The plight of the injured and the handicapped

I have been thinking about the amount of work, the cost, the vast number of people, the complication, and the amount of paperwork or computer storage that will be required to bring about these changes that is being bruited aboard with such energy and theatre. This is not to say that change would not be… Continue reading An addendum to yesterday’s post
