USA GUN LAW

Just what is happening in the US, so many carry guns and seem to use them, it is ridiculous that people can by weapons that are usually used in the armed forces, what madness is that?, it seems in the US you can buy any weapon you chose with no restriction, guns might have been some thing you needed to carry for your protection in the what was called wild west!, wild it was and death could arrive at anytime, but now it is supposed to be civilised but no anyone can and does run around killing people at will, mind you most end up dead as the US police do not seem to like prisoners they seem to be above the law, but worst of all the government are not able to stop the carnage as the gun lobby is too strong to stop the mayhem, how can members of the house of representatives fail to protect the people, even the President can't do it. so on we go now |Austin in Texas more killing when will it ever end?. 

Thoughts

Looking over the week so much has happened that it sends my head spinning, watching the mad man Trump perform at the Republican Party mad house, it make you wonder just what is about to happen in the USA?, will he win ??, in my mind I would run for cover if he does!, then we have Hillary Clinton, every one I have seen being interviewed seem to hate her, so what will happen in the world if either of them get in?? I dread to think.

Then the Russians have been allowed to go to the Olympic games in Rio, not all of them though some have gotten the treatment they deserve and been told they are banned, so a small ray of sunshine, talking of Russia I see that Mr P is again interfering in Syria, his forces are not killing the IS mad men but innocent people living in squalor, eating hand to mouth and having very little medical treatment they are dying by the thousands!!!, but Russia still keeps on bombing these poor people.

It is so sad that so many terrorist attacks are being carried out in Europe, we had it now it has happened in France and Germany, but I have to say that the police on the continent take no stick and dish out the same as the terrorists are dishing out to the population, no messing about they deal with the situation as it is then  dealt with there and then.

Electricity, we need new sources of power that is a fact, EDF decided to build a new station to provide 7% of our needs, the contract was waiting to be signed, EDF decided to go ahead and the government jumped in and said they needed time to look at the contract, a bit late for that I believe, but saying that EDF is a company owned by France and some of the funding was to come from China?, a reactor was to be built that is brand new and there is not another one working in the world today!!, so when you look at it do we really want to have France having more of a stake in our energy needs, do we really want China involved??, and do we need a reactor that has not been tried and tested??,  So in retrospect just may be it is a good idea to wait and look at it again.

Olympic Games 2016

How is it that so many Russians have now been caught out using performance enhancing drugs not only that but it was promoted by the Russian Federation, no doubt that means that Mr P was well aware of the situation !, it is proved that his people were well aware of what was going on, so what happens?, in reality nothing at all, that IOC have let down the athletes who are clean, how can the Games have credibility? who knows what is going on I for one will find it difficult to trust what I am seeing, I will be very unlikely to accept world records as they often come back and smack you in the face, in fact these athlete's  who take drugs will carry on till they are caught knowing full well that the punishment is in reality miniscule and then they are back again, why is it that people who cheat at sport are allowed a second chance??,  over the years we have had horse racing fixes, football and cricket matches fixed the common denominator is betting i.e. cash, there is so much money in sport that the criminal fraternity rub their hands with glee, while  so much cash is floating around there will always be the idiot who takes drugs to ensure winning, I have to say if you take drugs in sport and are caught the only punishment is to be banned for life, then you will never cheat again.

Europe

It is just so sad that so many have died in what can only be called terrorist attacks, terrorist attacks based on religious dogma, what benefit they get out of it is really nothing but becoming despised by the West, but then in the Middle East they will be declared martyrs, makes no sense to me at all, I had a religious upbringing but never ever been told that I would be a great martyr by killing innocent people, people in most cases who have given you or your parents freedom, possibly an education and what do you do? bite the hand that helped you and your family, I believe that it is time that the clerics who preach hatred and violence against man kind should be arrested and deported from where ever they are, how can we sit and have PC say that we have to allow freedom of speech, freedom of speech is not for despots to sprout venom, death and destruction against the West, it is for people to express a view on a subject, but never have I heard anyone in the UK speak in that manner so human rights and PC at some point have to be dropped in favour of logic, people who threatens our society have no place in the community and it is time that action was taken to remove this cancer religious or not!!!!!!.

The Prime Minister

I have been very worried aboput the actual competence of Teresa May as the PM, as she did not support Brexit, but she has responded positively, she has cleared out the Cameron Crew out of the cabinet, she has set up her own team and just having seen her performance at PM's questions she is a different person to what I expected, she was forceful and very competent and made Labour look fools, I just hope her meeting this afternoon with AM the German chancellor goes well, she says that the UK will not be pushed in to leaving the EU but we leave in our own time, nice to hear an MP putting Britain first and foremost, I see that all the financial predictions before Brexit were wrong,  but I have to ask just how did all these mistakes be made by so many very competent people who had all the information at their fingertips but managed to get it wrong, now I have to say with this in mind the allegations of telling lies levelled at the OUT campaign seems to be  a lie in its self as without a doubt the IN campaign were telling fibs just as much if not even more so, it just shows me that the faceless people who think they rule the country would go to any ends to ensure that we stayed in, but many of us saw the bull S**t  as it was and voted to get out, and in all honesty it seems to be the right decision, the retribution we were told to expect has not happened, shares have recovered, the pound is starting to do better and Japan as just invested £24 billion in purchasing ARM, they propose to stay in the UK and in fact are looking to expand the operation and many other businesses are doing well so lets go forward and become Great again!!!!!.

SPORT

How sick is it that the Russian Federation set up false Drugs tests for their athletes  a the winter games, it does not surprise me one bit, Russia just has to be first no matter how it is done, if the Russian government decides that they were to win they would have to win no matter what, Mr P can't abide the West winning anything so every way possible has to be found! to fail is not an option, and as usual the Russians always have an answer and never under any circumstances admit wrong doing, but if you look at all sport there are cheats, football, cricket, horse racing to name just a few, so we have regular drug abuse knowingly or not, in all these sports the one thing in common with them all is money!!, betting, people knobbing horses, footballers throwing games. and one of the worst throwing a boxing match, greed is the sparkle that makes people cheat, it has happened for 100's of years, the difference is that Russia systematically allowed athletes to take performance enhancing drugs not just one but all the team, Mr P and his people should hang their heads in shame, but you can bet your bottom dollar that lie will follow lie and admission will never happen, just look at the whistle blower regarding this drug abuse has had to go into hiding in the US because they are frightened that he will be assassinated, what a World   

Scotland

I have to ask as to just why do the Scots hate the English so much??,  in my mind it is time to forget the history between us, and just get on with it, the past means nothing now it can't be changed we need to be a forward looking people, whatever our previous generation did or might have done matters not now it happened and is over, we might have been a bullying nation many years ago but it is not for this generation to carry any burden of guilt, Scotland and the SNP are not looking forward but back-wards, the illustrious NS is so hate full to England! she is determined to destroy the UK come what may, she wants without doubt her cake and eat it, referendums that do not answer the way she wants she discounts them and proposes further referendums, and she will keep on doing it till she gets YES as an answer just what she will do with her life then is anyone's guess, she says she wants Scotland to be independent, just what benefit will that be to Scotland?, she says that the UK exit from the EU has had a bad effect on the Scottish Universities loosing them students, this might have been happening anyway just maybe Scottish Universities might not be as attractive as others in the UK, there is so much more at work in the world to bother about the minuscule complaints that she bleats on about all the time, it would be better for Scotland if she joined in with us and make Great Britain the Great country is was not so long ago and will become in the future!!!!!.
