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 being anyone who isn’t Caucasian, even if it is hard to understand how Megan Markle is blackContinue reading “Racism is just an over-used, meaningless word. 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. The lass, Cassie allegedly took all manner of beating from Diddy and she should have taken him to court for domestic violence, but she probably really needed money at the time and took the $20million payout, which was probably more useful toContinue reading “The awful, ongoing criminal trial of rapper P Diddy”

Goes to show it is all just a political football after all? A slight drop in net migration figures and we are squabbling over whether it was down to the policies of the previous government!? Who cares???!!!! Just get on with the work!!! Some folk are planning summer protests – which we hope, isn’t goingContinue reading “We are in truly awful times! UK net migration is reported to be going down and we are quarrelling about who takes credit for it!!!!!”

It is bandied about all over the place. Diversity. Ok. I have absolutely nothing against the concept of people mixing, I champion ‘live & let live’. Tolerance. All good. But there is also a saying: when you’re in Rome, act like the Romans! There is nothing wrong with cultural diversity, but any culture would beContinue reading “Cultural Diversity. Great concept. But what if some cultures do not wish to diversity??”

I do not see any other reason Kier Starmer would be cosying up to the EU, other than for the very obvious fact that we don’t have a choice. He is very well aware of the huge number of Brits who voted to exit the EU and he is not stupid. He understands fully wellContinue reading “Our government must do better at explaining itself and trying a lot harder, to get people to understand that the government is indeed trying to help us all….”

We’ve all been there before, when people tell you to take action, go in strong, be robust, stand your ground etc., but when you turn around, those same people are off hiding away in the shadows!Like it or not, Trump was voted in as President of the US and they are not a tiny country.Continue reading “Well done Mark Carney! Reasoned discussion with Trump re Canada”

Years before Boris Johnson ran for Mayor of London, I said he will be Mayor. A year after he became Mayor, I said he will be Prime Minister. I can say with very little doubt today, that Boris Johnson will soon be back as the leader of the Conservative Party and he will try toContinue reading “Our politics in the UK has always been very predictable…”

It is certainly curious.. Take the case of David Beckham’s rumoured quest to get knighted and getting repeatedly overlooked. He will get it at some point. When individuals think they have achieved fame, wealth.. they begin looking for the next thing: Adulation! or whatever it is, they see as the next level of recognition…. IsContinue reading “The curious case of OPPORTUNISM: Who’s actually using whom?”

Yes, we are not perfect in the UK. And yes, we may be heading towards similar situations, BUT, I always like to believe that we have people here, who will always stand up for what’s decent! We now see a good number of people rushing to relocate to the UK….. I am fiercely pro-British, notContinue reading “To all those who say the UK ain’t good enough & moved elsewhere.. well…..”

Building a big prison and dumping in a bunch of heavily tattooed men, without trial, to rot in there indefinitely only offer temporary relief. What’s going to happen to their children? Those children will shortly find their way to the tattoo shops?El Salvador is not a success story. It is very possible that they hadContinue reading “There appears to be no interest in tackling the real issues….”

It is definitely a mental health crisis! Has the world suddenly changed so much? I don’t think so. It is still largely what it used to be, but the only very obvious change, is that we have now embraced and celebrate meanness and hatred. Openly. I am a firm believer of the fact that anyContinue reading “The world was never nice but we never used to openly celebrate hate & being horrible..”

There is a very clear lesson there for kids to learn. Or rather, several lessons… The most important of those lessons is: NEVER PUT NEEDLESS PRESSURE ON YOURSELF! All ends in vanity!!! You look at the likes of Colin Montgomery, excellent golfer & human being. He never won a single major. Unbelievable right? But, soContinue reading “Rory McIlroy – well done! Finally, his nightmare is over…”

8,064!!Compassion is imperative and I do feel for these people as they are, for whatever reason, in this situation. BUT, this really has to stop. Everyone in the UK benefit from a system based on the rule of law: we work hard, pay our taxes etc. Services are based on careful planning. To have suchContinue reading “The number of migrants arriving in the UK after crossing the English Channel has set a new record for the first four months of 2025”

… and I do not say this lightly! Sadly, we are presently bogged-down with a myriad of domestic issues…. The world desperately need British diplomacy right now! (yes, there are several examples of global missteps over the years, but I can’t at present, see anything better out there! And it’s all steadily getting worse!!!). GetContinue reading “The UK must climb back up to centre stage in global matters. If nothing else, we exercise reason & diplomacy”

It is well worth asking: what exactly is it all about????? Life, as we presently have it. With so many people around the world living in squalor, in abject poverty and pain. Given the chance, they rarely help each other, the just want to break out and join the ranks of the rich… I onceContinue reading “The very poor seek to survive, the poor seek to get rich, the rich seek to stand out, the super-rich seek adulation…”

To understand this madness, you would need to go right down to grassroots golf, in schools, colleges and clubs that the PGA fund, and how that pyramid structure grows the sport and how ALL golfers earning $millions came through that structure. I am not going to comment on ‘sportwashing’ and all the allegations levelled againstContinue reading “The golf fiasco! LIV vs PGA tour…”

If America believe it has been and is being taken advantage of, and as such, slaps on tariffs, why is the rest of the world having a hissy fit? Should it not be a simple exercise of rebalancing trade? Or could it be, that America was indeed being taken advantage of? Let’s see where itContinue reading “Perhaps it’s time for a return to ‘trade by barter’?”

Banning Marine Le Pen from running in the upcoming election won’t be a clever move! Macron should pardon her- if she is found at fault tomorrow – and let her run in the election. She won’t win the election. Banning her from running is simply going to lead to an unnecessary mess!

….. few would disagree though… The earth is roughly 510 square Kilometres…. why can’t we just live & let live??? It is so sad seeing how human beings treat each other. And we find a way to justify it… But we are all to blame. We are so quick to point to others. So quickContinue reading ““History is a set of lies agreed upon” – a bitter quote from Napoleon in his final days in exile”

Unfortunately, we are stuck in an era where everyone’s permanently entrenched in the sides they have taken and do not feel the need to try to be understood, mainly because they – perhaps rightfully – do not believe anyone will listen, even if they do try to explain.. The dismantling of the Department of Education,Continue reading “If politicians can explain their actions better….: some of the actions being taken by Trump are actually sensible..”

… but we don’t like the person trying to end the war? ….. but we think there is an alternative, better way of ending the war? …. but, but, but….. but what? human beings are insufferable at times!! There are no ‘buts’… if others had a better way to end the war, a better compromise,Continue reading “Finding a way to end the war in Ukraine is a good thing. But… but what?”

Hundreds of thousands gave their lives (soldiers) in WWII and they and those that survived will tell you that they did so, so that the world never have to go to war, ever again!But at the first sight of conflict, we start talking about conscription and arming nations…. Have we forgotten those hundreds of thousandsContinue reading “We have repeatedly tried men (in power) and men have repeatedly failed! Let’s try women for a bit….”

ok. If we put half as much effort into training ourselves in finding peaceful resolution to disagreements, the world would have a chance?? The bravado of men! Wars solve nothing! We should be training all our adult and youth population in the folly of war instead!
