Today is the day we remember all those who have died in conflict fighting to preserve our freedom. Since my earliest childhood memory of men and women standing around the Cenotaph in warm black coats, silently laying wreaths of bright red poppies, it has been about those who fought in WW1 and WW2. Now, though, […]

Life On Planet Concussion!
It has been a while since I last posted on here, following my spectacular dive down the stairs and my teeth numbing stop, using my head as a brake, against a doorframe. Since my unplanned flight, I have been living on Planet Concussion. It is a strange world I entered after needing the rather confusing […]
Arse Kicking At Parliament Buildings!
For a country that has so many surveillance cameras the authorities can virtually see the state of your colon as you walk down the street – and all in the name of anti-terrorism – it comes as some surprise to learn that 50 Greenpeace campaigners (protesting against global warming) have been able to climb onto […]
Director Of The FBI Is A Hypocrite!
Predictably, the outcry over the compassionate release of the only person convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, has been loud and spoken malnly with an american accent. Poor old Kenny MacAskill, Scotland’s justice secretary, has been the main target. He claims to have made the decision to release Megrahi all on […]
Lockerbie Bomber Leaves More Questions Than Conviction!
The only man convicted over the Lockerbie bombing 20 years ago, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, has, as expected, been released from his life sentence on compassionate grounds. Megrahi is said to be suffering from prostate cancer and is not expected to live for more than a few months. No one can deny the bombing […]
Afghanistan – We Will Eventually Have To Talk!
My goodness, it has been three weeks since I last posted. I have been trying to think of a reasonable excuse for being so unreliable and have failed miserably. During my ‘downtime’, more of our troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan and two more have died today. Politicians of all parties have been making […]
Afghanistan – Is The Gamble Worth The Lost Lives?
In the space of a week, seven British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan. UK Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth has now admitted what we all know already…. that even more lives will be lost. The total number of UK military personnel killed in the conflict is now 176. The Defence Secretary justified our continued presence […]
Smile – You Must Be A Terrorist!
If it was not so ridiculous, it would be risible. Austrian tourists, Klaus Matzka and his son Loris came to visit London – as millions of tourists do every year. The country depends heavily on welcoming visitors and we are blessed with some of the most interesting architecture in the world. Klaus, a 69 year […]
Met Police, Mistakes and the Media!
It has not been a good week for London’s finest. The Metropolitan Police have been in the firing line, twice, in just a few days. Firstly, they have been accused of contributing to the the death of a newspaper seller, who had a heart attack soon after being pushed to the ground, by an officer […]
Facebook Terrorists!
The news this week, that the government want to monitor all the details of one-to-one activity on social networking sites like Facebook, must have come as a major relief to prospective terrorists in the UK. They will now feel safe in the knowledge, that while the security services are drooling over pics of nubile mini-skirted […]
