DO I WANT ANOTHER LABOUR GOVERNMENT?
I made some comments on a Jeremy Warner piece in the Daily Telegraph yesterday (link below). In one of the replies a correspondent (andp) asked me if I wanted to see the Labour Party in government after the next General Election. This is what I said to andp (edited slightly for this post) … I think […]
DECLARATION OF ARBROATH
Went to Edinburgh this weekend to watch the rugby. Teamed up with a couple of my old Regimental pals, one of whom was Irish. Had a leisurely breakfast in the Craigiehall Mess before easing in to the city to start soaking up the atmosphere; usual routine. As we sauntered along William Street towards Teuchters Bar […]
FOR HOW MUCH LONGER WILL ELECTORATES TOLERATE THIS?
… asked one of my favourite journalists (Jeremy Warner) in the Daily Telegraph today (link below). Whether he realised it, or not, he was referring to the steady, predictable and inevitable collapse of the European Union economy and, therefore with it, the collapse of the faux-society that is the European Union itself. You and I […]
LET’S ALL CRY WITH JOY
In the last line of this BBC piece written by Mark Easton, the Home Editor, considering why London’s population now comprises just 45% of “white Brits”, Easton declares, “It is a story of aspiration. It is a story of success“. To which I would add, “It is a piece of risible political correctness gone stark […]
MID-STAFFS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST SCANDAL
In the firing line are some hapless nurses, to name but three: Bonka Kostova; Biju Reni; Ragula Lice Tagiteu (see link below). One wonders where they were trained, and what the culture (norms, values and beliefs) was of their training establishment? Just an off-the-cuff thought. (Edit: My ‘thought’ here is not racist-motivated, but is me […]
IF PROOF WERE EVER NEEDED
In one of my recent posts (‘Energy and the Dismal Science’) I said that “our complex society … doesn’t work – it just doesn’t work – unless the economy grows consistently and reliably at around 3% per year … without economic growth the system starts to implode, and pretty quickly at that; honest.” If proof were […]
COR BLIMEY … IT’S NOT JUST ME
… who thinks that the European Union is a very dodgy organisation indeed:
THE EUROPEAN UNION CRANKS UP THE SOCIALIST-FASCISM
You’ll see from some of my other posts here that I’m no great fan of the European Union: it really is nothing less than a ‘soft dictatorship’, with tens of thousands of unelected, extremely well-paid and institutionally corrupt apparatchiks (about 45,000 at the last count according to Craig & Elliott in their book “The Great […]
STATE BULLYING
As I understand it, according to the classical music purists, Classic FM is for philistines. So be it. Notwithstanding, here at Castle Moraymint we do listen to Classic FM where we refer to it as ‘nursery rhymes for grown-ups’. It’s comforting listening to popular classical pieces (or usually parts thereof) being played time and again. […]
