I am not sure many people would want to move to the UK if it didn’t offer what they didn’t have where they’ve come from. Correct? So, in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, people from the Caribbean and other commonwealth nations moved to help with the rebuild (post-war). Yes, they faced brutal conditions and some intoleranceContinue reading “If only people calling for the preservation of the British way of life can do it the correct way?!”

…. the child is hands a pile of toys from Santa.. ”Thank you Santa” he says… …. and THAT, is a lesson for all ages! It is the world order. It is how someone who can’t spell their own name, can rule millions of people….. It is the very reason nothing’s ever going to change.

Tough time of the year for some. Awesome time of the year for some. As an individual, I have always found it very difficult to flick a switch; be all joyous and merry when it is expected, and then….. We all go back to how we are the rest of the year.. Many now say,Continue reading “Do they know it’s Christmas? Should they?”

Yes, it is impossible to get everyone on earth to hold hands and love each other. But if anyone wants to drastically remove hatred and hate in the world, all you need to do, is create something that pays better! Yes, there are a few people out there, who just hate for the heck ofContinue reading “Want to drastically reduce ‘HATE’ in society? EASY: just create something that pays better!”

Olympic gold medalist boxer and former world champion, Anthony Joshua fought a You-tuber Jake Paul last night and the world of boxing criticised Joshua. What were we after? To be entertained by Joshua having his head punched off right? But for Joshua, why would he not take a fight that is said to have earnedContinue reading “Humans: we are what we are! If there are aliens, they must be laughing!”

People will do anything for money! Anything! Last week a couple in the UK won £1million in the lottery for a second time! Now, why would you win £1million and continue to play the lottery? After winning £1million, waking up the next day to play the lottery? Seriously?!! We are a truly reprehensible lot! YouContinue reading “If the world can come up with a new reward system that eliminates MONEY, half of the heinous crimes committed today will be gone!!”

Just read about this on CNN. The ringleader of the coup plotters had his hand on his gun as he read their speech! Why? As a prop? I couldn’t imagine, for the life of me, what would possess soldiers to think they can offer an alternative to an existing government, regardless of how awful thatContinue reading “Coup or foiled coup in Benin Republic over the weekend: you gotta feel sorry for African!”

Eberechi Eze!!!! Just 12 (of 38) games into the season and we get only the third ever Arsenal player to score a hat trick in the North London derby! On the 198th derby! The man is now forever a legend at Arsenal! His first derby! What a guy! Eberechi! Eberechi!!!!!

The world has completely lost its way! Not that it was ever – at any time or era – in a good place, but at least some decades ago (particularly, the 90s), there was a concerted effort to try to be better. Now, we are trying to be the worst possible we can be! Everyone’sContinue reading “”the greater good”? What greater good??”

Tanzania – an unpopular president apparently got 98% of the vote?! Surely she could have just claimed it was 60% and still won. 98%? Now over 700 protester said to have been killed. Bangladesh – Sheikh Hasina. Always thought she was just a one off. Hundreds of protestors killed before they forced her out NoContinue reading “I take back past assertions that there won’t be wars if we had more female rulers..”

It would be interesting to do a thorough research to see what the generational progression of the factions at war tends to be? Taking two wars for example; the American Civil War and World War II. The side that declare victory do not do so with a promise by the vanquished to change their position.Continue reading “The simple reason why wars never settle anything!”

Once upon a time, there was a society made up of a group of horses, donkeys and ponies. The horses are very strong and ruled the society for centuries. For many centuries, only the horses were allowed to go to school and be educated and they were the only ones allowed to vote in electionsContinue reading “You will always be taken care of horses, do not fret. All is well…”

Although this isn’t deemed as newsworthy out here, it is shocking that such massacre is happening in the 21st century!Sudanese need to find a way to pull together to end this needless bloodshed! It is hard to blame others for this situation, it is inexplicable!

This isn’t about flying flags or spewing hate or being intolerant. It is common sense. A guy who came into the country on a rubber boat was caught harassing a 14 year old girl, telling her that in his country, she can be his wife. Then he made a grab for her. He also didContinue reading “This weekend’s saga is exactly why migration cannot be via rubber boat crossing of the English Channel”

This is not about whether or not one supports or objects to migration. Putting people who entered the country by rowing across the English Channel, in hotels, which have run up £billions in cost, is not a good look, whichever way one is to look at it. Sooner or later, Western countries will get toContinue reading “The UK government is trying their best, but must try to do a bit more to address the migration situation and knife crimes”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking pride in one’s country! People saying they are proud to be British, English, Welsh etc., is all good. However, intelligent people will agree that the buying and selling of human beings is not a good thing, regardless of the era. Accepting that some brutal acts of colonialism wereContinue reading “There is absolutely no need to apologise for historical events but to ignore past failings in the name of patriotism is definitely not patriotism!”

It’s the complexity of life! Sometimes good people do bad things and bad people do good things! Except for the few mentally ill folk, the rest of us have the ability to choose to be good or bad. The simplistic notion of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ has become so blurred in the social media era. DecencyContinue reading “People are not all good or all bad nor sortable into these tidy groupings!”

Democracy was never perfect. Politics was never perfect. But I do recall a time, not too long ago (20 years ago roughly), when at least some of the aspects of political decorum was observed. Today, it is just so kindergarten! This morning I watched a few clips on the BBC and MSN, of people inContinue reading “I am not sure our politics can recover!”

Nobody is perfect and I am definitely not perfect nor close to being perfect. But I always try to ask myself what can I do? What is my contribution to a problem? And to take some action from my side. Just over 25 years ago I completely estranged myself from my family when it wasContinue reading “The real reason we have wars, poverty, inequality, intolerance etc.: the “it’s not me mentality”!”

A wise old friend once told me that if you want to understand people, gather a group of doctors and tell them you have found the cure to every illness or say the same to pharmaceutical companies and see what comes next.. He added several other scenarios: If you were to tell lawyers and contractsContinue reading “Vacuousness of human beings! We have never been any better…”

Stop the Nigel Farage and Reform Party fixation! The fixation on Trump didn’t work for the Democrats in America! You are heading down that same path sir! Build temporary accommodation (we sorted, albeit belatedly, massive makeshift hospitals during Covid) for the undocumented migrants and empty them out of hotels, which is what’s causing so muchContinue reading “Come on Sir Kier Starmer! You can still do it! Please snap out of it! MAKE BOLD DECISIONS! Get the country working for everyone!”

Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party all thought they could talk it all away!When so many people say they are fed up with uncontrolled migration, even if their reasons are not factual, the government should listen, explain and address the matter. The crowds who follow populists are not all uneducated folk as some wouldContinue reading “You don’t beat populism by talking down to it! You need to improve standard of living & address what’s fuelling populism in order to beat it!”

The Greeks who defined this must be rolling in their graves! It’s now down to those who can shout the loudest, gather the most protesters…. I am not sure anyone thought it could ever get this bad.. Democracy….

Canada is by no means a perfect country. They have some of the same traits as the US, Australia, New Zealand, where past generations of immigrants are now vehemently opposed to seeing other types of immigrants that they somehow do not see as the type they want…. But all that aside. Day after day CarneyContinue reading “The world can, and should learn from Canada’s 2025 election of Mark Carney..”

It doesn’t require a genius to tell you that tens of thousands of migrants rowing into any country by rubber boats, without screening, due diligence & planning (to accommodate them, process them etc.) is not right! It impacts the health system that is already struggling to cope, it impacts schools & other public sector provisionsContinue reading “UK’s Liberal Democrats are on the right path and will end up on the right side of history!”

It is hard not to sympathise with the government. It is such an awful situation. The government is caught between maintaining our humanity as a nation and being constantly criticised for not doing enough to deal with this madness! I also sympathise with fellow Brits who are fed up with this situation and are voicingContinue reading “1,072 migrants crossed the English Channel into the UK just today!”

When you see a young man or woman in his/her 20s whose starting salary as a teacher or engineer would be around $30,000 and probably remain below $100,000 for several years, suddenly discover that going around slamming migration, saying some demographics are thick, gets them on $300,000 salaries…Well, therein lies the challenge! There are manyContinue reading “If spreading hate & intolerance didn’t pay so well, we’ll all be loving each other and singing kumbaya!”

As always, it’s all about money! Little else!!! When you see a guy with scant education, no history of employment, swanning around in designer clothing & driving a Range Rover, going around giving hate speeches, it is clear that someone, somewhere, is funding the operation. To counter extremism and hate in the UK, we needContinue reading “Want to stop the hate? Well, FUND the love!!!”

A British woman recently won gold for us at a sports event. Her name is something like Chi Kwon (not using her real name). Majority of the comments under the article argued that she isn’t really British: “she isn’t really British is she? with that name”. Then there was the usual barrage of racist commentsContinue reading “What can migrants do to be accepted? damned if they do (integrate) and damned if they don’t….”

Many of us do not have a desire to be rich and are not rich. But I for one, admire nice houses when I drive through wealthy neighbourhoods and it all looks pleasant and great! I do not envy the rich. They can enjoy their riches & do whatever it is rich people do. WouldContinue reading “What do you get when you shove the experienced elite aside & go it alone with populism?”

Police men & women are not from Mars! They are not aliens! These are people with parents, husband & wives and children! They also need to be able to go home, safe & sound, to their families! Yes, they code a tough career, but without them, he an help us!!!! These tattooed, flabby-belly folk throwingContinue reading “We CANNOT and MUST NOT accept these scenes of police men & women being pelted with bricks during these supposed protests!!!”

Yes, illegal migration is awful and it is impacting everything and everyone. But the minute we begin to treat these illegal migrants horribly, we have lost to our enemies. That is what they want to see. They want to say that we are no different and when it comes to it, we are happy toContinue reading “If we allow western societies & democracy to disintegrate due to our differences, we have allowed our enemies to win!”

When an elected member of parliament says: “people are angry”. The next question to that member of parliament should be: “what are you doing to help reduce their anger?” All across the country people are expressing anger at the increasing number of migrants crossing the English Channel on rubber boats and getting into the country.Continue reading “Opportunism is not the same thing as Patriotism: people have a right to be angry & politicians have a job to ease that anger…..”

… and it may get worse.. We seem to be following the weather.. More extreme each year.. I am very surprised there’s anyone left wishing to be a nurse, doctor, teacher etc. When we pay them so poorly, while some botoxed-up person with fingernails like claws, type up garbage on the internet and are makingContinue reading “The world is on its knees! We are at our lowest, worst point in history!”

I just watched the video clip of a guy pulled over in Florida for not having his headlights on in iffy weather. His driver side window was smashed in by the police and he was repeatedly punched in the face and later had 9 stitches to his lip. It really is shocking!This is a memberContinue reading “10 out of 10 times a routine traffic stop in the UK will end politely & without incident!”

You don’t. Another episode. Another session of outpouring support and “we stand with you” England women’s footballer, Jess Carter who is I believe, mixed race, suffered horrendous online racial abuse she says.. When will we learn? These public outbursts about racial abuse is one key reason it has and will continue. You cannot cure anContinue reading “How do you cure an incurable disease?”

It is unfortunately too easy to look at these countries and wonder why they can’t improve themselves? Decades ago, I spent nearly two years travelling through West Africa and South East Asia; it was an experience that totally shattered my view of life. I have tenaciously clung on to a bit of the accent thatContinue reading “Could the so-called ‘third world countries’ do better for themselves? In particular, African countries, South East Asia countries & South American countries..”

Immigration is the country (USA)! Who decides when an immigrant is no longer an immigrant? Unless you are a Native American from one of the tribes that was there prior to Europeans rocking up, I’ve got news for you: YOU ARE THE DESCENDANT OF A MIGRANT! So, you can ask yourself if you have beenContinue reading “The irony is palpable! A US politician asks if immigration makes the country better?”

As expected, he has been found not guilty of racketeering etc. The prosecutors had not choice but to bring a case against him – as he clearly did a fair bit of wrong – but the case they brought was not one that would punish him fairly. Let’s see if he has the good graceContinue reading “Let’s hope Sean Diddy has learnt his lesson???”

When you are up against generations of organised affluence, it is tricky (‘black’, ‘white’, dumb description of human beings really, but I have used it below as it seems to be the description people tend to understand.

Black people just need a bit more time!”

Some of us remember the early 90s (and years prior for the much older folk) when inspectors were the most respected people in the UK. Bus inspectors ensured no buses were late, sanitation inspectors, rail etc. The country was spick & span! Intolerance and hate is of course not acceptable. But the reality in theContinue reading “The UK government needs to address the impact of undocumented migration now! We mustn’t continue to ignore the frustration of impacted Brits..”

In all fairness, Macron has done very well in trying to calm the drums of war in the last couple of weeks. The French have been excellent! The reality is simple: don’t worry war-hawks, there will always be conflicts around the world; it is how human beings are. But there is absolutely no logic inContinue reading “…. and thank you France!”

Some say wars are inevitable in certain circumstances. Ok. I am no expert on the subject, so, won’t quibble. But one thing is for certain; wars solve nothing. The world must find ways to prevent wars! There must always be a compromise, somewhere…. Let’s hope the meeting in Geneva, with Britain making the point, bringsContinue reading “Tiny island? Ok. But thankfully, we are still the voice of reason out there! Well done Great Britain!!!”

We should all feel frustration! The world is burning around us! Pointless wars, poverty, climate change, pollution etc. But sadly, we are just so self-centred. Life goes on. We have our parties, weddings, birthday etc. And we get on with it. If Middle East wasn’t burning today, would the people in there spare a thoughtContinue reading “We should all be frustrated!!”

Well, here’s the kicker: a guy comes round asking for your vote and says he will deport millions of people who entered the country without the correct documentation. You cast your vote for him, then you say: “jeez! I didn’t know he will have them in handcuffs and chains!”. “gee! I didn’t know he willContinue reading “Human beings are all largely deplorable! We always look for someone to take the blame: Trump..”

If you have to spend everyone else’s money in order to fix a problem for the greater good, you cannot tire of explaining yourself. That, is the dilemma! The people who say they get it, are fed up with explaining it. What you then end up with, is a perception of elitism. When it thenContinue reading “Looks like we’re going to leave it till it’s too late, before paying attention to climate change…”

The events of the past 24 hours should make a very strong case for women to become heads of state of all major countries on earth. Men’s braggadocio as hundreds die needlessly, has gone too far! We saw it all some years back, when a guy (Saddam) who didn’t have any weapons of mass destructionContinue reading “It is definitely time to ban men from leading any country with more than 100,000 people..”

In the UK (probably the same in the US and other western countries) we are trying hard to fix problems that should have never been allowed to occur. It is so sad really. Thousands lost their lives during two World Wars to protect the freedoms we so loosely take for granted these days. I readContinue reading “Neither ‘LEFT’ nor ‘RIGHT’ have the answer! We are just beating each other up for nothing!!”

How did the world get this pathetic??! Trump & Musk have had a disagreement. So what? It happens. There are people dying in wars, there are children starving in third world countries.. Yet, we fixate on two guys having a fall out? One that was so predictable (as everyone’s saying). Pathetic world!

It appears to be a wrong case being prosecuted. It is sad really.
