We had the Polaroid camera and we used to create photo albums to show off our travel photos etc. Then came electronic picture folders, Facebook, instagram, Snapchat etc., and storing thousands of digital photos. And then……. ….. we’re back printing our photos with businesses such as http://www.popsa.com thriving like hell! We’re back sitting down, tryingContinue reading “fixing the world’s biggest problems is not infeasible; We just won’t do it…”

What if I did a research at a University and the outcome definitively confirm that women have a more advanced brain than men, and that women are superior to men, in every possible way! FINE! So, let’s put women in positions where they can use such superiority to help us all: end wars, end poverty,Continue reading “We must find an off-ramp, to exit the realm of stupidity! It is 2026! We are now in the 21st century! Surely humans must have progressed a bit by now????”

Ok. Which extraordinarily brilliant guy out there doesn’t have the “but”. The now dead ex-Cambridge University professor chap. They say he plagiarised, they say he was a fantasist who lied about how many marathons he completed and about pretty much everything else in his life. Ok. And his critics are…? prefect? have never told aContinue reading “”he is an extraordinarily brilliant guy, but he….””

Genuinely nice guy Kolo. And he was awesome at Arsenal…

It is a completely unnecessary waste of human life! Poor chap

A guy or girl trains hard and competes over several days in a decathlon or heptathlon, to win a single gold medal. A football team of 11+ players play several matches to secure a solitary gold medal. A sprinter participates in 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay or a swimmer who has 10 events toContinue reading “”most decorated Olympian…”, “most decorated European athlete” etc. The folly of us humans…”

The problem is not one that has a solution. It goes right down to the most basic of human flaws.. The minute you laud an individual by colour: “youngest black professor” or “youngest white professor” or by sex: “youngest woman CEO” etc. You are already part of the problem. People have various decent reasons forContinue reading “The very avoidable death of Professor Jason Arday…”

We now have victims of violent crime worrying about the likely early release of those convicted for those violent crimes!! The very obvious solution is to stop sending non-violent criminals to prison! Use the saving to hire loads of probation officers to handle community punishment (street cleaning, fruit-picking, that sort of stuff) and sentence peopleContinue reading “UK has run out of prison places, so WHY NOT RELEASE NON-VIOLENT PRISONERS?”

If you ever attended football matches in the 80s, and you are unlucky enough to find yourself in a corner with 5 supporters of the opposition and they round on you and circle you, and you begin to fear for the worst, but just before the blows come raining down on you, as you expect,Continue reading “Setting aside how he got the PM job, Andy Burnham appears to be a good guy! Hope he does well…”

I know next to nothing about the ‘Tate brothers’. There have been a few articles in the British press in recent weeks as they hold British and American citizenship. Cannot comment on whether they are guilty or innocent of the charges against them, but for the horde of young men that are said to influenceContinue reading “The cautionary tale of the Tate brothers?”

Yes, it seems to have taken forever. And yes, it would appear the people smugglers have won. But this is simply because it has taken Europe this long, to understand what on earth’s going on, and no single country can resolve this matter in isolation, hence the delayed British response. But, mark my words, theContinue reading “Mark my words, Britain will stand up for itself, very soon, and it will be with decency, but there will be a shutdown of these Channel boat crossings soon enough…”

How many would turn down an advantage, a privilege, if on offer? Is there any such thing as a ‘no privilege’ era? It’s a numbers game. If you have an issue with ‘white privilege’, then build up ‘black privilege’, ‘brown privilege’ and any other type of privilege! It’s the same with poverty! You don’t addressContinue reading “It should come as no surprise, that the basketball lady who alleged ‘white privilege’ is said to have allegedly said horrible stuff to an Arab taxi driver…”

….. there you go… A guy who gets it! He’ll get shouted at. It will be a thankless trip. But it is the only way to give people real answers. To fill the void that past governments have created with their detachment for the general population. A void populists with no solutions have gainfully exploited,Continue reading “Burnham to kick off national tour to hear cost-of-living concerns.”

Gianni Infantino’s attempt to ram through selling off of part of football to private investors is the action of a leader who has become too comfortable and has assumed invincibility. It is probably nothing to do with corruption or personal greed. He’s just been there too long and getting called “Mr President” does get toContinue reading “The ongoing football crisis is a self-inflicted wound! Organisations such as FIFA should have a strong governing team but the president should have a maximum of two 4 year terms in office…”

….. Canada so nearly ended up with Pierre Poilievre, who like his creed of negative politicians who can only be negative! Pierre would have spent the past months had he become Canada’s Prime Minister, complaining about the supposed influx of migrants who are the reason there are no jobs for Canadians, and how to makeContinue reading “Canada adds 75,000 jobs in July, unemployment rate hit two year low. That’s the headline in the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada today….”

Every day there is a new report in the press, on a Syrian or other murderer or fraudster found living in the UK, in a council flat, claiming benefits as a refugee or asylum seeker. It is so, so depressing because the logic behind granting helpless people refuge and granting asylum to those fleeing persecution,Continue reading “Really distressing to see how the UK’s generosity is viciously exploited by uncontrolled migration”

As long as it’s a migrant that commits a murder…. This past week has been the hot story of a Cambridge University lecturer accused of plagiarism. A very common occurrence in academia, as they use quotes from others (but need to credit the source) etc. But, wait! this one is a much bigger story. Why?Continue reading “It’s that simple law of ‘Supply & Demand’ yet again! We have become a society that craves bad news! We can’t get enough of it…”

Setting aside how he got there, he is there and we should all support him, for the good of the country. It is that simple. The last government rushed in with some bizarre acts, slapping VAT on independent schools out of spite. Nearly 2 years on, no tangible benefit of that to state schools. MoreContinue reading “The new Prime Minister looks very much like a listening type of guy. Let’s hope he gets given the right advice every now and again….”

It just boggles the mind why government look away from real issues to fixate on non-issues!!!!There are already mandatory tests for old folk. Leave it as it is and move on!!!! After you have fixed the economy, created jobs, reduced dependency on benefits, reduced knife crime on our streets, fixed the climate, …… yes, afterContinue reading “Let’s force people over 70 to take eye tests or lose their driver’s license, while the kids watching & streaming tik tok while driving are the ones killing people on our roads!!!”

A financial system that left so many countries in needless poverty! While the watch movies and see teenagers driving cars and living the kind of life that they deem to be out of reach for them. Rebalance society, change the global monetary system, industrialise poor countries and illegal migration will be a thing of theContinue reading “We created a world of ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ and now, illegal migration is out of hand!”

I understand the reaction and frustration of people, when someone accused of a heinous crime appear to hide behind mental health. We prefer to say they are evil! Society would prefer to just label them as criminals and wrong-uns! But it shouldn’t take genius to know that it isn’t ‘evil’ that leads a teenager toContinue reading “MENTAL HEALTH is indeed the greatest challenge of this generation and most likely, future generations to come…”

Today’s world (and it has been the same since someone created MONEY!) is solely about MONEY! If someone makes pea stew and we think are dangerous, show them how they can make tomato soup and make 10 times the profit they are making from making pea stew. The speed at which they will switch toContinue reading “Want peace? Create another way for those who want war to make money. Want low or no illegal migration? make it less profitable for people to wish to migrate illegally….”

It isn’t that difficult to promise better! What I always find bizarre in a democracy, is that we elect people to represent us in government, they could tell us if their ideas are being ignored by the party leader (i.e. the Prime Minister) or they could endeavour to get the PM to listen to theirContinue reading “New UK government is now in office. Same number of taxpayers, same revenue stream (tax) as the last government. New ideas? Let’s wait and see…”

It is easy to have a free-flowing, ten goal game when nothing is at stake! If you win a third place match, you can say third is better than fourth (even though nobody can tell you who was third at Italia 90, but we all know who won the World Cup in 1966). And ifContinue reading “France – England, best game of the tournament so far? Don’t be obtuse!!!”

The Labour Party and current UK government do not wish to resort to gimmicks or empty rhetorics. They want to do something. They want to try to deal with the illegal crossing of the English Channel, they want to solve the problem. Unfortunately, they have not sat down to understand the simple fact that theContinue reading “In today’s world, truths & facts are useless. Gimmicks & rhetorics is king!!”

I honestly do not know why they pay the managers so much money??? Thomas Tuchel’s tactics were terrible. Awful. Dreadful!! Football is definitely not engineering or medicine or law! And it certainly ain’t rocket science either! When you manage to score a goal via the only real chance we had all game, what you do,Continue reading “Well done England, you did us proud even though fell short again, it’s ok.”

20 minutes in, it is the best England performance in a game of this magnitude I’ve seen in the last 30 years! Finally, we now have a few real world class players! I expect England to win this match!

Former Spanish PM is reported in the newspapers this morning to have said the French national football team is not playing French men. Ok. So, instead from jumping in and calling him a racist, why not dissect what he’s saying?What is the definition of a Frenchman? Who is a Frenchman? Presumably that is a maleContinue reading “Calling people ‘racist’ is starting to lose its meaning. Is it not more effective to just shed light on what’s dumb & illogical?”

A former Tory politician Ann Widdicombe was murdered last week and the police had to quickly state the colour of the suspect they arrested. If they didn’t, someone could say it is a migrant and there will be rioting! That is how awful the situation is. How can the police effectively do their job, ifContinue reading “We are in terrible times! The UK must find a way to end this madness!!!”

Which is it?They say daft Paraguayan ex-goalie said that in 1998 Paraguay played real French players but now in 2026 they are facing an African French team. So, given that the same guy thinks African football is rubbish, should he not be glad that the French team is filled with French players he deems African?Continue reading “Hilarious isn’t it? They say African footballers are rubbish. Then they say European countries fielding players of African descent have an undeserved advantage?”

Some still want to withhold praise, but he is now above all that. The fellow is simply brilliant!!!

This morning’s result is easily England’s greatest World Cup win in decades! Where are the racist posts that some England players suffer? None? Ok. Well, this is exactly why those comments are best ignored. The same people how type those abhorrent comments are the ones praising England now! So, to end such behaviour, you justContinue reading “England can win this World Cup!!!”

Yes, the reaction cannot be rioting, violence and throwing bricks at the police. It also cannot be MPs saying their blood boil when they see black & brown people on TV commercials (while ok with 99% toilet cleaners and menial job holders being black & brown). BUT, when you watch a recent BBC programme thatContinue reading “The government needs to understand the real anguish of poverty and the rise of anti-migrant sentiment”

…. it is indeed baffling! If Cabo Verde had lost 6 – 0 yesterday, it would still have been an excellent performance by them. To score 2 goals and push the defending champions and Lionel Messi, to extra time and narrowly losing it? can’t find the right words nor enough superlatives for Cabo Verde!!! ButContinue reading “People who want to be negative and hateful, will always find reasons to be: the defending world champion (Argentina) just got held and pushed to be brink by Cabo Verde, a country of less than 500,000 people. A country many have never heard of. A country that is completely unknown in football! Yes, we complain about England’s performances….”

What a story! Although I am not a supporter of Egypt, you gotta take your hat off to them for getting this far, given their past record of never winning a single World Cup game before 2026…

This guy is playing in his 6th World Cup! Before now, he has singlehandedly won the Euros for his country. Over 20 years now, in a sport where most careers do not exceed 10 years and certainly very few are ever at the very top, for more than a handful of years, this guy hasContinue reading “Well done Cristiano Ronaldo! We live in pathetic times!!!”

Yes, it is not a job anyone is entitled to and perhaps the next PMs should try to be less dugged and more willing to allow their detractors a voice instead of whipping and suspending MPs who disagree. But it is tragic that we go to the poll and elect a party led by anContinue reading “Sad day in the UK and sad day for the UK. We’ve hounded yet another Prime Minister out of office!…”

Few hours ago, MP Jess Phillips said she won her seat despite Starmer. Ok Jess. But you would just be another MP in opposition without Starmer. I am not suggesting Starmer is perfect, but I think he is definitely being treated unfairly right now. Now, it is possible that he didn’t listen to advice andContinue reading “It isn’t that difficult to come up with noble thought; implementing them is a very different matter. Andy Burnham’s relentless pursuit of UK PM office is a very cautionary tale! He (Burnham) means well (as Starmer did in 2024/25), but…..”

Phenomenal! One would run out of superlatives for Thierry Henry..

I can’t imagine retiring and then carrying on around the same industry! I’d be completely fed up!

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry……

Politicians can learn a bit from this result. Trying to meet the electorate in the middle is still possible. We are in 2026 and cannot take the country back to 1960 as some want, but politicians need to engage in discussions and explain to the people living in poverty, how they intend to help themContinue reading “Makerfield by-election result proves what some of us have always known: if you engage with the British electorate and listen to their concerns, they will vote for ya!”

When you look at some of the power-hungry politicians in the UK today; the ones who think 1+1=2. It might do, in a maths class, but in government, when you have all the power there is, comes grave responsibility! And 1+1 is not always that easy 2. It is of course a total waste ofContinue reading “With great power comes grave responsibility”

…. we have problems that we appear unable to solve. Once you hear someone make the statement: “to think he did that to his own, his kind”…. What? Humankind? What other kind can there be? If we can ever let go of divisions, we may be able to resolve some of the world’s greatest problems…Continue reading “Great to see three British drivers winning the Formula One in Spain today! Now, ain’t that how the country should be??”

Absolutely no words for it! In any grouping of people, there will always be one or two criminals. It is a given. Some will be bright, some kind, some nasty, some dull…. It is what it is.. No one knows why a Sudanese migrant decided to attack an innocent man with a knife, stabbing himContinue reading “There are no words for what’s going on in the UK right now….”

When politicians say: “yes, the people are angry and I can understand their anger”. OK, BUT WHAT IS YOUR JOB AS A POLITICIAN? Is is not to help those people by fairest calming them down and helping them not to be angry but to try to resolve their issues and find solutions??? Fanning the flameContinue reading “What would happen if our politicians actually worked together to listen to the people they were elected to represent AND instead of fanning the flames of division & anger, actually try to HELP people to understand the realities of the modern world and solve their problems????”

I listened to parts of PMQ today and even though I don’t like politics, it is clear to see that Starmer means well. Has he been effective? perhaps not so far. Has he made mistakes? well, who doesn’t. Can he change tack and be the change to drive the UK forward? his opponents say No.Continue reading “I hope Kier Starmer survives. He means well and hopefully he can turn things around by listening to everyone in the country (including those who didn’t vote for labour)”

beleaguered!!! I just don’t get it! To see improvements in any police force, you need them to attract the best, decent people. Now, how can you achieve that, when we pelt them with bricks and throw chairs at them, because we say we are protesting???!! We are lucky to have the privilege to protest. BUTContinue reading “Heavens help our police force in the UK! They just can’t catch a break at the moment! Damed if they do, damned if they don’t!!!!”

How very accurate.. There is never anything wrong with difference of opinion. People should be able to choose to be conservative or to the right or to the left, or whatever else have you. But to keep winding up the population with harsh and intolerant rhetoric is what’s terrible about the world we are inContinue reading “BBC article today, titled: ‘It’s not a nice world to bring children into’: Births fall to the lowest level in 50 years”

This isn’t about good or bad. There are no constant villains. It is not Christianity versus Islam nor black versus white nor left versus right or anything else people would like to label it as.
