HOUSES CREATE MORE HUMAN HAPPINESS THAN FIELDS
… or so we are told today by Mr Nick Boles, Planning Minister (see link below). I live in the Highlands of Scotland: relatively low population density. Recently I found myself spending a couple of weeks living on the eastern outskirts of Bristol; I went down to arrange my father’s funeral. My experiences in the […]
WHO IS ‘NUMBER ONE’ IN THE MODERN-DAY PANTHEON OF IDIOTS?
To discover who is Number One in the modern-day pantheon of idiots running countries around the world, watch this …
CHAOS AT HER MAJESTY’S REVENUE & CUSTOMS
Front page news in the Daily Telegraph today (link below) and billed online as ‘Chaos over biggest employment tax shake-up in 70 years‘. The Daily Telegraph informs us that “under the new ‘Real Time Information’ (RTI) system, more than a million businesses – as well as charities, churches and families who employ nannies or cleaners […]
EUROZONE – KEY INDICATORS TO WATCH
During my lunch break today I walked the dogs on the beach and, as you do, I mused over the question, “What are some of the key indicators to watch in the Eurozone?” I concluded that the first indicator of interest should be ‘Youth Unemployment’. By December 2012 Eurozone youth unemployment was at a record 23.9%. […]
THEY’RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY, HA HA, HO HO, HEE HEE
Over the past decade or so, perhaps longer, the British political class – homogenised as it has into a single Fabian Society and with its eyes fixed firmly on a vision of the UK as an Orwellian dystopia – has been on the warpath. Peter Oborne described the situation rather well in his book, ‘The […]
CYPRUS – HOW WOULD YOU REACT TO BEING ROBBED?
It’s important to realise that what’s happening in Cyprus at the moment is seismic. European Union politicians, bureaucrats and bankers are colluding to plunder the assets of ordinary citizens without an iota of democratic consent. If they pull it off, it will in the fullness of time be rolled out across the Eurozone and quite […]
DAVID CAMERON BREAKS WIND
Once again I’ve just been reading Jeremy Warner in today’s Daily Telegraph (link below) where he’s written an article entitled “David Cameron is ‘pure wind’ on the economy”. Mr Warner makes reference to George Orwell who pointed out that, “political language – and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists […]
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 […]
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 […]
ENERGY – REALITY INTRUDES
Since around the end of the last century, and certainly within the first few years of the 21st century it seemed clear to me that the only game in town for the coming 25 years – and quite possibly for the next 50 years – would be energy; specifically, mankind’s insatiable appetite for energy, exacerbated […]
