A cricket ball consists of cork covered by leather [weighs about 5 1/2 ounces and measures about 9 in in circumference] A young Australian international cricketer has just been killed. He was felled by a cricked ball. His life was ended prematurely by a ball deliberately bowled at him at head height to intimidate him. […]
When the Coalition Government came to power, well over four years ago, they started dismantling some of our protection against the terrorist enemies in our midst (some home-grown). Whether or not that was down to the misplaced ‘do-gooder’ influence of the LibDems, goodness knows. How things change, eh? The Home Secretary Theresa May has just […]
The general public in Britain have been worried about immigration for decade upon decade upon decade. It certainly was an issue as early as the late nineteen sixties – in those days it was all about black migrant people swamping this Country – now it’s all about the Poles and other eastern Europeans isn’t it?.

In Britain there is an immense amount of tolerance, isn’t there? We have a very diverse community where race and religion don’t in the most part cause division. Oh yes, we have our brainless bigots of course who tirade against those they see as undesirable fellow citizens – but they are few and far between […]

Rochester had been in a Conservative strong area for some thirty years and with the new boundaries had a massive Tory majority […]
The mega-fanatical jihadists of ISIS have been capturing innocent people (as well as opposing solders) in Iraq & Syria for donkey’s years – for a century many of them have been simply killed, often violently, and often by beheading. In the case of westerners or foreigners (and we are talking in the hundreds here […]
What is the obsession with cars in this Country? In Britain, we are a small island without massive distances between places (not like say America) and we have a ‘reasonable’ but not top class public transport system, so why does everybody want to drive around in a car indeed – in fact it is worse […]
It is being said that Tory leader David Cameron could be facing rebellious unrest from his backbench MPs next Friday when the Conservatives lose the Rochester & Stroud by-election (as they surely will). It is true that he set his stall out to win this by-election at all costs, so the result will certainly dent […]
In the UK it is a fact that MOST rapists get away with it.

Even when […]
