Abortion in Ireland – ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, ‘termination’, termination’, ad infinitum?

by

  comments appreciated In a referendum last Friday, the Irish Republic voted by a landslide to repeal the ‘Eighth Amendment’ constitutional protection for the life of the unborn, so their parliament can now proceed to ‘liberlise’ abortion – basically that means pregnancy terminations ‘on demand’. [Abortion is currently permitted under the act only where there […]

The Oxfam scandal has exposed the Charity Sector charade – has the bubble finally burst?

by

          Just 2 years ago a post here ‘Charity, Overseas Aid, Volunteering – all worth it or not?’ outlined and identified how the major charities had simply become major cash-cow “businesses”, run and staffed by fat-cats each raking in hundreds of thousands of pounds in salaries, expenses and accommodation costs, from the over-generous British […]

‘Morals’ – where the hell did it all go wrong?

by

Our lovely Britain is gone forever, hasn’t it? Yep, modern Britain, though it remains one of the richest countries in the world (indeed in terms of total wealth it has been certainly classified 5th richest behind the US, China, Japan and Germany), it just isn’t a patch on what it used to be, unfortunately? It […]

Big Charities – should YOU give them a penny?

by

     We are all constantly in the UK inundated, indeed well-so in our faces, with heart rendering pleas for us ordinary people (mostly working-class however because THEY are the most generous?) to urgently donate money to apparently needy and worthy causes, desperate for our hard-earned cash, aren’t we? We are told incessantly that even our […]

‘Loyalty’ and ‘Self sacrifice’ – replaced by ‘Unfaithfulness’ and ‘Greed’?

by

It must be strange for the current generation to hear the stories from the last one about society’s values in the times gone by, don’t you think? Those of us from that generation must often warmly recount our reminiscences, of not only what life was like and the way people were, in our prime time, […]

Charity, Overseas Aid, Volunteering – all worth it or not?

by

   Tomorrow morning (Sunday) sees the start of the thirty-fourth annual London Marathon. This is a major road race involving world renowned men & women elite athletes, and disabled wheelchair competitors – when records may well indeed be broken. However, its fame isn’t really down to all that is it? No, it really is all […]

Populations everywhere are growing like ‘Topsy’ – who will put a stop to it?

by

The human population of the World has reached well over seven billion now [that is a snapshot say of 7,293,109,900] and increases by two or three babies a second [indeed the population has doubled in fifty years]. This population trend has far reaching implications for our descendents – the facts are that more people are […]

Children, Children, Children – one too many?

by

The UK is little different from the rest of the World is it? We are all making too many children, so the population everywhere is growing-growing-growing, and as a result all mankind is steadily destroying our lovely planet by sucking-out its lifeblood of resources. The total World’s population is now well over seven billion (that […]

Promiscuous Men and Women – they are Destroying our Society!

by

In the history of the human race (homo sapiens) it has been important that men and women join together in a single relationship (monogamy). Why is that? It is so they can support each other, live together, have children, and jointly support, nurture, and successfully bring up their family to adulthood. Many other creatures are […]

‘Save the Children’ – what about ‘Stop the Childen’?

by

Where they work A major TV advertising campaign is underway in some regions of the UK on behalf of the charity ‘Save the Children’ – it is showing graphically upsetting heart breaking pictures of emaciated children who are suffering from starvation & illness, and the charity is asking people to donate £2 a month to […]
