EU REFERENDUM: IT’S GETTING CROWDED IN THE UK
The rate of net immigration to the UK has risen to one-third of one million human beings per year. “Uncontrolled immigration threatens to deconstruct the nation we grew up in and convert [the UK] into a conglomeration of peoples with almost nothing in common – not history, heroes, language, culture, faith nor ancestors. Balkanization beckons.” […]
EU REFERENDUM: HANDS UP ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR OF THE EU!
Brussels is Being Bombed This is a quick one-off article outside of the series of four posts I’m publishing within the EU Referendum debate. Today, Brussels is being bombed. Brussels is being bombed because the laws of European Union member nations – which include most of the laws of the UK these days – are […]
CHRISTMAS AND SO-CALLED ISLAMIC STATE
Heresy The debate rages about whether we should cuddle up to Islam, or destroy it. Our Establishment elite exhorts us to love Muslims; to do anything else makes one a fascist. Meantime, the British government sets about bombing Islamic State. The BBC struggles with this one a bit and almost chokes on the term, ‘Islamic […]
ON REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY – LET’S REVIEW AIRPORT SECURITY
According to the BBC, ‘airport security will have to be reviewed in areas where Islamic State militants are active if the air crash in Egypt is found to have been caused by a bomb …’, said the UK Foreign Secretary. Erm, now hang on a minute; the UK is home to a huge number of […]
GREECE – THE EURO AND GROUPTHINK
As the Greek government, a paragon of economic and political ineptitude, pressed and bullied by the European Union, moves to impose yet more austerity on its people, a thought comes to mind. The desperate attempts to keep Greece locked in to the euro currency – and with it Greece’s total socio-economic destruction – will go […]
WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO (INTRO)?
Introduction Despite the worst fears of at least one of my daughters, I am in fact a happy chappy. You could be forgiven for thinking otherwise if you read most of the posts on this blog, or my contributions to the comments pages of the Daily Telegraph or, indeed, many of the posts on my […]
INTERLUDE – A MILITARY MATTER
Before I put up my proposed next post entitled ‘What Are We Supposed To Do About It?’, I felt moved to say something about a BBC News item I saw this evening. I know we can’t wind the clock back. However, when I was minded to join the armed forces (in the 1970s) and then […]
PUBLIC DEBT HEADING FOR STRATOSPHERE IF NHS NOT REFORMED
Today Jeremy Warner pointed out in the Daily Telegraph (link below) that unless the National Health Service is reformed, root and branch, then the UK’s national debt will hit 220% of GDP by 2062. It won’t get to that situation, of course, because as the economist Herbert Stein once said, “If something cannot go on forever, […]
OPTIMISM … AT LAST
A GUEST POST I’m delighted to present a guest post today, prepared by Carlos. You may recall that in my previous post (Almost Time to Look to the Positives) I made reference to Carlos and some of the views that he holds which (on the face of it, anyway) are quite contrary to my own. […]
ALMOST TIME TO LOOK TO THE POSITIVES
Introduction This post is the longest one I’ve written to date. You might wish to make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, or pour something stronger before reading on. Indeed, you might decide to wander off and find better things to do; if so, that’s fine by me. If you’re sticking around, though, you’ll […]
