Religion

Once again we have death and destruction in the world all in the name of religion, so why is it that a religion who says it is all for peace manages to kill so many, and also the possibility of British Nationals involved, not only in Kenya but Pakistan suicide bombers mixed with the congregation of a Christian church just to kill as many innocent people as they can sent out by religious zealots told they will go to heaven, I would have thought that they would have gone to hell, it seems that 50 British men are involved in Somalia what if they decide to return to Britain??.

Bedroom Tax

Isn't this the most stupid tax anyone has heard of, the principal of moving old people from their three bedroomed houses to a one bed house/bungalow/flat is an impossibility, we do not have a glut of 2/1 bed properties in this country, really simple to understand why!, they are not sailable!, so no builders build them in fact builders always look for ways to increase the floor space on any property they are renovating, so it is a grossly unfair tax, but that matters not to the government they say they are just adjusting the benefit (social welfare) budget, so they say the benefit claimants living in social housing receive to much money in their benefit claim, so they will have to make up the shortfall from their other benefits!, so where are we?, we have anywhere up to 50,000 people in the East who are in arrears with their rent being unable to pay this tax, so what will happen to these people well they are going to be evicted, isn't that just great, I am talking about old people here people who lived through a world war, some loosing family in that war, many were involved in Suez, the Korean War, and many other conflicts, so how do we repay these people, why chuck them out on the street, the social welfare budget needs to be cut may be the best way would be to provide JOBS for people so they can work instead of having to grovel for their income, feeling sick to the core having to do it and then being belittled by the benefit office staff, if you have not experienced it please be understanding for once in your life, you may be employed have a good job no worries but you are the lucky ones life is not so good for others, so please do not criticize these people I know some do not warrant your understanding but many more do so be kind in your thoughts for them.`

My Post on the Courts

After my rant about the lady who insists on wearing her face veil in court, more has transpired about this, the lady involved who is so determined to make a stand about her right to wear a veil has I am told a picture of herself full face on Facebook which it seems blows her case for anonymity, so if she is happy to show her face on the internet what right has this women to think that she has the right to attend court as a defendant and think that her human rights would be abused if she was told to remove the veil, this is not the case, the jury has to be able to see the face of the defendant to be able to assess the validity of her evidence, I believe that the human rights act goes way to far, the offenders seem to think that they have every human right invented at their want, it is time that we re invented the human rights bill by some one who has at least a little common sense. 

The Courts

I have to say that the judge who has told the Muslim lady (I really do not know as I have never seen her) who may be a lady or not,  she will have to remove her veil when she gives evidence in her defence, that in my mind is right I as a jury member would want to see the face of the defendant while they were giving evidence facial expressions are a dead give away, so I believe the judge has every right to demand this happens in his court, this is a British court and as such the judge rules  not the defendant!, she is using our softness to her ends, she is defending herself so no doubt the judge has bent over backwards to help her defend herself, but the law is the law, we have the regular set jumping out of the wood work crying racial prejudice as normal, why do they do this, why is it that  we are not allowed to make a statement about one type of religion without being labelled as a  racist, justifiable comments are not racist at all it is racist when it is vicious and nasty and personal, many have had enough of PC and think a return to common sense might just be a better way to go.  

Power

Well at least the Lib Dems got something right for a change, all this talk of renewable energy is pie in the sky, what happens when all the school children and parents return home from school and work?, first they switch on the lights next the PC, Laptop or Games machine then maybe the TV, mum and dad would like a cup of tea and of course tea, what effect does this all have on the national grid? a massive upturn in the need for more power, so how do they do this the bring coal, nuclear or gas powered power stations, all of these have one thing in common they can be switched on line with the throw of a switch, now how can you do this with wind turbines you can't if the wind does not blow so then what, sola power is what it says solar it needs the sun to work efficiently the dark nights are no help and very little sun in the winter and if it does show up it is very low on the horizon, so how does this renewable energy work and is it green, well for a start the wind turbines cost an arm and a leg !!, are they made in this country NO they are not so we have to import them from Europe, so we are benefiting another European country not us, sola power is now the big thing so many companies trying to put it on any south facing roof they can get, the income that is promised has fallen by a half and no doubt will fall even further as the government decides not to subsidise it so highly, we have councils promoting sola panels on some of the best arable land in Cambridgeshire something like 900 acres many sacks of potatoes will be lost, we have much of the land now covered in rape seed to be used as bio fuel, the whole world has gone mad, it really makes me laugh we have many people up in arms in this country about coal fired power statins as they see them as part of global warming, then we have the Chinese who need to expand their power out put so need many power stations what are they going to use as fuel?, why coal and the advice regarding the building and commissioning of new stations is by UK engineers, so we are not allowed to have them but we will help China build them instead, I just cant stop laughing. 

Driving

Well is it because I am a little old but is it that younger drivers have no idea as to what the Highway Code says or means, some examples, you need to indicate to let other drivers know just where you are likely to go but not always you might have left it on when you left home and as you are busy talking you have not noticed that it is still on as it sticks, and what lane to get in on a roundabout oh dear which one should I use why not the left hand lane as I am going to go right or just maybe back where I cam from,  pouring with rain headlight not a chance I will though put my side lights on I can see every one who has their lights on, then we have the slip road, my personal hate  am sick to death  when driving on a duel carriageway of the idiots who seem to think this is a lane to get up to 70mph before pulling out into my lane as a car is overtaking  me I have no choice but to give way or cause a crash, then we have the female Parker's who because they have children in the car (not always it makes no difference to most), decide that they will take the only disabled bay that I was about to use even I might add when the sign says Blue Badge Holders Only, then there are the young females and males who use these bays  because they are in a hurry, If you should dare to point this misdemeanour out you will  get an ear full of every four letter word you have heard finishing with Old Man, how insulting, I passed my test before many of these idiots were still a glint in their mums eye, age brings experience, I drive to the speed limit and follow the highway code a real pity some of these people have never read it!!

Syria, Russia and the USA

Now we have it from the horses mouth, there is agreement between all three that Syria's chemical weapons will be destroyed by the middle of 2014, are they mad??, the people in Syria want them out of the way now not in a years time, will the battles still be raging??, well it has to be said YES, just how anyone believes that it is possible to get all these factions round a table must be mad, it is am impossibility, meanwhile the people especially the children will suffer, it is time to help these kids and their parents, food is getting to be at a premium, and it has to be remembered how the temperature fluctuates in the middle east, hot during the day and very cold at night, many  only have to clothes they stand up in, we all need to help, as a Champion for Unicef I would ask that everybody makes some effort to help, Thank you.
