Once again the British coalition government are reportedly threatening to do something about Wonga and the other rip-off loan sharks, who prey on the poor and vulnerable. Vince Cable has pronounced! These are always empty threats – strong words and no action! Oh yes the regulators plan to ban their advertising – when? Later of […]
Women are of course built physically differently to men. They are basically designed to have babies. Without heterosexual women the human race would die out! They are though physiologically differently to men as well. Women get into a relationship with a man, or get married, for companionship and to have children – and generally to […]
Treatment of criminals in Britain is a joke – but it is not funny. We have more people in prison than any other country. Why is that? It is because we have more criminals! Why is that? Because they can get away with it. Because they don’t get punished properly when they offend – so […]
A baby boy has been born into a family on public benefits (despite the fact that the father has a well paid job) – a child destined for a life of riches and untold privileges, all paid for by YOU (if you actually pay your taxes!). Said to be worth hundreds of millions! An amazing […]

The power of the Unions is not what it was 50 years ago. How did that happen? Well, a number of factors played a part. Mostly because the Unions screwed-up. Also though because Conservative governments targeted them and rightly or wrongly introduced legislation to curb their power. The Unite Union is currently in the national […]
When this Tory led government got into power 3 years ago, rightly or wrongly it embarked on a strategy of austerity and massive cuts in expenditure. This unfortunately has driven national growth into the ground and the standard of living massively down – particularly affecting the poorest people in our society. However David Cameron the […]
In the UK we have a major problem with organ transplant. There are just not enough human organs available to the surgeons for transplants. Why is this?
