The North Korea has moved inextricably towards deliverable nuclear warheads – the potential consequences?

 verses   There has been a ‘war of words’ between North Korea and the United States which has been dire in recent weeks, and as recounted here in a recent post earlier this month, President Donald Trump has both embarrassed himself and America by his stupid participation in it all, even unnecessarily enflaming it at […]

‘Aggressive’ North Korean despot ‘Kim Jong-Un’ has called the bluff of ‘Bigmouth’ American President ‘Donald Trump’ – a further humiliation for the World’s most powerful man?

Last week, the post here outlined why it was now time for war with North Korea because it is intent on completing their acquisition of nuclear status, further developing their intercontinental missile delivery system to be capable of hitting the likes of New York or London with a massive nuclear bomb, and then undoubtedly embarking […]

North Korea– time for war?

Just four months ago a post here “North Korea conflict – an insolvable problem, other than war?” posed the question if another Korean war was impending and in the making, didn’t it? Well, we now have the answer we all didn’t want TO HEAR and that is “YES”, wouldn’t you say? Certainly, North Korea seem […]

The ‘most powerful man in the World’ humbled – Barrack Obama?

.   Last Thursday was an embarrassing one for the American people, wasn’t it? No, not because their President Barrack Obama has been upstaged once again by Russian President Vladimir Putin – this time over Syria. No, not because the USA’s supposed superior military might and massive firepower is seen worldwide to count for nothing, […]

England’s only now phasing out free plastic bags – a mammoth parliamentary scandal?

A week on Monday the English shoppers are in for a shock – albeit only a little shock for now though. The free re-usable plastic shopping bag is going to be compulsorily charged-for at 5 pence each – BUT only by the BIG-boy retailers. Oh yes, over the past fifty years the ‘single use’ ‘free’ […]

Morris-men and Morris-women – still going strong, eh?

   One of the quaintest things about long-established English life is having a pleasant summer’s drink in a quiet rural pub when a troop of Morris dancers turn up in their fine colourful garb with bell pads ajingling and clogs aclogging, isn’t it? One of the most endearing things though is their quaint music surely. […]

A Nursing ‘national disaster’ heading for the United Kingdom’s NHS – oh, that was the headline 3 years ago? Or was it 20 years ago?

   Our beloved NHS is seen now to be chronically short of British nurses, and this has badly affected hospitals’ performance, patent care, morale, and not least financial budgets. Did we not know that was coming then? We certainly did, didn’t we? All those in the know were vitriolic in their public warnings that the […]

The Qatar ‘winter’ World Cup – another FIFA disgraceful dereliction of duty?

  Earlier this week the discredited FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) organisation announced the recommendation that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would be delayed from the summer to the winter. It wasn’t front page sports news – well not here in the UK anyway. Why was that you may wonder? It is because […]

Some abject National failures are hitting home now – will they skew the UK General Election in May 2015?

You may not believe it, but sometimes performance in sport actually influences what people think about politics and that can then even determine the government’s survival. Ridiculous though it may sound, such events that government had nothing to do with, can affect the decisions made on election day and boost vote share either way – […]
