One Man and his Boy (Ferret’s Festive Comp)

This was going to be a tough Christmas for my son and I. Ever since my wife done a bunk with Bunk the detective I’ve had to resign from my job and take care of Danny full time. She’s always had a thing for men in uniform. Ironically, when Bunk snared her he was wearing a suit because he was serious Police. As Danny’s sole custodian I didn’t need to join Fathers for Justice and climb up on a high roof. That’s where she thinks she is: on a pedestal. The Queen of Sheba hasn’t had any contact with Danny since she left. One day she’ll fall from up on high and there will be nobody to catch her.

‘I don’t believe it, Mildred’

Having recently learned that the National Audit Office has refused to write off the Commons accounts, we now read in the DT that Sir Christopher Kelly, Chairman on Standards in Public Life, has had to speak out against the possibility of MPs policing their own expenditure claims. This is because MPs, including David Cameron, threaten to scrap the existing system run by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

My last blog asked if these people have learning difficulties. We now have the answer. It beggars belief that when confidence in Britain’s parliamentary representatives is at an all-time low, that the Prime Minister supports the possible closure of IPSA. If they continue down this road, these people will be responsible for eradicating the few traces of genuine democracy that remain in the UK.

More global warming

Just looking at yet another layer of  global warming falling outside the window. As usual, the road has not been gritted by the council and cars are having trouble negotiating the hill at the end of it. This is even though it is a bus route, a way to three schools, and there are quite a large number of sheltered housing units just round the corner.

Obama’s Beginning of the End, by Eric Margolis

Obama’s Beginning of the End
by Eric Margolis

In 1956, Britain, France and Israel colluded to invade Egypt to overthrow its hugely popular nationalist leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser. US President Dwight Eisenhower deemed the tripartite Suez aggression immoral and damaging to American interests in the Muslim world. “Ike” ordered the British, French and Israelis to get out of Egypt at once – or else. They got out. Continue reading “Obama’s Beginning of the End, by Eric Margolis”

Note: WHITE British citizens killed by Drone attack in Waziristan

Strange how it seems acceptable to the media to so describe British citizens of European descent, and yet when it is Mr Ghulam Khan, a dual national with a British passport, who is blown up as an Al Qaeda operative, he is described simply as a British Citizen. God forbid Radio Four and the Media should refer to him as a Brown British Citizen, or as yet another Pakistani holding dual British citizenship – the P.C. Brigade must be tying themselves in knots over such fine distinctions…
It is long overdue that the Press grasped the nettle on this. Of course what they were about was conveying the message of, “Shock! Horror! WHITE men of “our” own descent are getting up to this Al Qaeda nonsense now, not just the imported Brits…”
No one in their right mind would describe my wife as British, least of all herself, although she holds a British passport – she is an American, and would tell you she is an American whose husband forced her to take a British passport to save himself and his company hassles with visas for her when working abroad for the last thirty years. So why all the sensitivity, for our TCN British citizens?
