I have just listened to the “I have a dream “ speech from Martin Luther King. I urge you to listen to it without being emotionally moved. A speech that was made in the sixties and still resonates today almost 60 years later. The equality he dreamed of has still not come to pass, better yes but still not a fulfilled dream.

Yesterday there were protests up and down the country against the proposed bill limiting the ability to do so. Once again I warn you that our basic rights and freedoms are being taken away! You can be arrested and sentenced to prison for even appearing to be causing a public nuisance! If you wonder why this matters, then I feel sorry for you. You may never think of joining a protest but you never know what the future holds or how strongly you might feel about something. Imagine your disappointment when you realise you cannot demonstrate your protest against that one thing because you could be breaking the law! Let me be clear, you can be arrested for even “thinking” of protesting if it is deemed to be a public nuisance. If you think you live in a free democracy, think again!

The elitists privileged few are so out of touch with the public it is frightening. I am sure Boris is wandering around No 10 asking everyone why he has to apologise, unable to understand the furore surrounding him or that he has done anything wrong. He just does not get or why any rules he might impose should apply to him. He simply believes he is above all these things and can do whatever he likes without any need to explain or apologise. I suggest he was almost forced to do so, probably blathering about how he had not done anything wrong and why should he take the blame? Boris is the ultimate example of how privileged behaviour corrupts any sense of of right or wrong. He will never go willingly because he does not acknowledge his mistakes. We are living in a time of the ignorant privileged fools, running the asylum and unless we do something radical about it we are all going to be worse off than we are now!

Stay well

How many parties need to be reported before this entire bunch of tossers are thrown out of office? This was already a serious breech of Covid rules and now as each day goes past more and more is revealed about the blatant ignoring of any restrictions by the very people who imposed them. There have been many reasons why this government should resign which in my view are more serious than “partygate” their policies and corruption should have brought Boris down already but if this is what does it great! How much more are we prepared to take? Wendy has encounter a few people who still maintain Boris is doing a good job! Where are they getting their news from? He has been a lying, corrupt Prime minister from the very beginning and any other politician would have long ago resigned over the many  issues that he has been involved in, all of which have proved that he is and has always been unfit for any office or even being an MP! This applies to many of the Conservative party but he is chief and the buck stops with him. I am no supporter of the privileged Royal family but even my cynical heart was moved by seeing the Queen siting alone at her husbands funeral, as so many have had to do. The callous behaviour of Boris and his staff is beyond belief and not only should he go but every single attendee should also offer their collective resignation. 

The public will only take so much and our threshold was reached some time ago, this is insult to far and if he saves himself and the party allow it this government will have lost the tiny shred of trust that anyone had in them. The pathetic excuses so many of his party have given to try and justify his actions are only adding fuel to an already out of control fire! Those Tories who have condemned him know that he is finished and are whilst a few are genuinely horrified by him they are just distancing themselves from the shit storm! 

My wife cannot visit her mother, in her care home and there have been numerous occasions when they have been in lockdown, while those bastards partied at their “work meetings”!!!

Surely he cannot survive and yet, yet, tell me you would not be surprised! If he does survive there is no hope, not Bob Hope, in fact fuck all hope!!!!!!

Stay well

 We are not surprised are we? We knew it would all end in scandal and controversy? It would certainly never end well! I am laughing and appalled all at the same time. Even if the “party” was a “business meeting” even if the PM was unaware of the event (ha ha ha ha) the buck stops with Johnson, plain and simple. Many have already written about this far better than I can and there is not much more I can add. I told you so is not really enough. One thing we seem not to understand is how badly this reflects on all those who voted for this clowns party, you put him there and you should all be ashamed! 

Of course this man won’t resign he’ll have to be pushed. His whole rotten cabinet should go and whatever happens after happens. The pathetic defence of his actions by those around him is more damning than helpful. The public are not stupid. Have as many inquiries as you like we all know the facts they are indisputable. 

I look forward to only ever mentioning Boris as a figure from the past!

Stay well

I’ve been banging on about him for years and dare one say “I told you so” Surely this is the final nail and he has to resign? Please write to your MP, whether he or she is a Conservative or not and state clearly that he must resign. Thank you.

Stay well

 I was not going to write today but golf was cancelled due to rain. Now how about that for privileged start?

I not sure what there is left to say about Boris? We keep saying he has to go and yet he is still there. Each week he seems to be embroiled in yet more sleaze or rule breaking! It appears that no matter the torrent of calls for him to resign he won’t leave until he is pushed. The Tories are uncertain whether to push him, though the tide does seem to be  turning against him. From what we, the public, know of the man, he was always a car crash waiting to happen. It’s no surprise that he has survived so far, he is Teflon coated but the non-stick surface is peeling away and I confidently predict by the end of this year he’ll be gone.

It’s miserable out there at present both in terms of the weather and the mood of the country. The British can tolerate a lot but I think we have reached a point when our tolerance is at an end and we all know things must change. Brexit has been a disaster and almost three years of a pandemic has taken it’s toll on all of us. I wrote yesterday that none of this really matters and humans are just a blip on the evolutionary history of the Earth but as we are here now it would be nice to have some peace? I am not depressed or even unhappy but there must be many whose equilibrium is not so well balanced and many who have slid into depression, with I suspect, little help to turn to? There is little to cheer us at the moment and even those events which we try to look forward to have the spectre of Covid hanging over them and plans may still have to be changed.  I can offer this somewhat desultory advice, having lived a long time I can bear witness that this to will pass. All things must, as George Harrison once sang!

Stay well

 The other tennis players should actually hope that Novak is actually stuck in Australia to give them a better chance of winning other tournaments this year! What a lot of fuss of nothing, he’s a fucking tennis player! It might have been more of a story if they had highlighted the conditions people are held in if their entry to the country is held up! 

Do you fell powerless? As though nothing you say or do makes any difference and in spite of the majority of people in this world, just wanting a peaceful life, it all seems to be pointless? Well indeed that is the point! There is no point and the sooner you accept that the easier it will be. There is no God, no higher power, no to other place you go to after death. All these religions and spiritual beliefs, might help but they are of no use. We are made of energy and back into the cosmos we go when our time is up. Time itself does not exist and is a man made concept in order to mark the seasons and the weeks. If all this sounds depressing, I assure it is not meant to be, just a frank view of reality. Humans are meaningless pests who are destroying their own habitat as they were bound to do. Our bloated self-importance and desire to believe we are the ultimate evolution is misguided hubris and like dinosaurs we will become nothing but a footnote in Earths history. So enjoy your time and forget about all the other stuff because you never can and never will affect anything. 

Stay well

 Tony Blair, love him or hate him, whether he is knighted or not is hardly important in the great scheme of things, happening at present. I really could not care less, it’s an antiquated title that has little meaning. An honour for a man many believe is a war criminal is hardly going to change your opinion of him. Personally, I am not a fan and he did take our troops needlessly into a conflict under false pretences. The protest is being used to highlight the ongoing assertion of his “crime” and whilst what he did is by no means trivial and caused the loss, unnecessarily of our soldiers lives, since he left office we have had two PM’s who in many ways have damaged our country even more and one who has presided over more deaths than any PM since WW2! 

We are own our own as this PM and his government throw up there hands and fully place the burden of this pandemic on the public shoulders? We have all been responsible from the beginning and our behaviour in many cases has been reprehensible and simply so cavalier that it is no wonder the virus has taken hold in such numbers. Never the less it is a governments duty to govern a country in a sensible measure way in order to protect it’s citizens lives and apart from some financial support this government has taken credit and have not done any of the actual tasks that has been left to those who actually do the jobs! They pontificate at podiums, in speeches and in Parliament but in reality we have been supported by “front line” workers and ourselves.  We now know exactly where we stand and as always it is up to us to manage!

Stay well
