Another week

A less cogent week, perhaps because the alleged leader of the free world wants to give guns to school teachers to keep children safe. The person who committed the atrocity at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Florida didn't seem put off by the presence of an armed deputy, the atrocity committer it seems was very familiar with the school surely would have known the was an armed deputy there. My heart breaks thinking of those children, my heart despairs knowing the relatives I have in America and worrying some of them might believe in guns. I do not understand. 
The  NRA oh lord, the NRA the sight of someone called Wayne LaPierrre, speaking to what appeared to be members of the human race, sickened me to my core. I hear they have 5 million members, the population of the USA is reckoned to be 327 million, do the 322 million have a say? Stop advertising, stop buying from people associated with them, fix it.

The winter Olympics come to an end, a British speed skater Elise Christie elicited the full gamut of emotions, stressful watching. The Korean people want peace don't they? Perhaps sport is better than nukes!

Mrs May clings on, see sense go, shakes the rabidity out, then I remember the DUP, no surrender, the only hope is demographic change, the old people who vote for these fools will die, lets hope the younger generation will have more sense. I'm part of that old generation, the selfish generation ,the one that's f**cked the world. Think of number one,  tax is bad, greed is good, workers rights are dangerous communist subversions we were told, many believed, I didn't, but that's democracy for you.

Syria, Russia, Iran, is there hope, is there a 30 day ceasefire, stop fighting.

On a lighter note after a 6 month injury lay off, during which time i entered my 7th decade I played hockey yesterday, we won, I scored, life in the old bones yet.

I don't understand.

So a teenager with mental health problems can go to a shop and buy a 'semi automatic gun' to protect his right to be part of an armed militia to save his state, which will involve killing children. An organisation the NRA can have so much influence over politicians that the deaths of children are blamed on a law enforcement agency investigation a narcissist scared of seeing his bald pate. Its disgusting.

One thought for today, Kathleen Hartnett White, WTF.

5.2.18
Cycling organisations have condemned members of the House of Lords, including Prof Robert Winston, for propagating the “myth” that separated bike lanes cause congestion and worsen pollution, saying there is no evidence it happens.
Accusing the peers of making arguments based on “anecdote experienced through a taxi window,” the groups said that Winston, in particular, as a prominent scientist, should know better than to spread such misconceptions.

The imbecile, oxygen thief that is the orange bouffant insults the NHS and all who work there. Some news for you, no one is bankrupted after a hospital stay here. Some news for your foul friend Farage when you get ill from your beer and cigarettes, cancer seems likely, you'll find the people treating you are immigrants unless you succeed and they all leave, then go to America to be bankrupt as well.

6.2.18
On today of all days I can't understand 'I don't vote it's got nothing to do with me' or 'there's no point in voting'.
Stock markets crashing, covefe.

7.2.18
Cheddar man discovered to have dark skin blue eyes dark curly hair, I can hear the UKIP, Britain 1st, EDL heads exploding from here.

8.2.18
More upsetting today than NHS at full pelt, was the Polar Bear surrounded by plastic. It's shit.

9.2.18
In Edinburgh some human cells/ egg has been grown, I don't care about the morality, it's just I think there are too many people on earth already.

10.2.18
Mr McDonnell outlines Labour Party plans to nationalise utility companies. The cacophony of the hard done by chief executives, shareholders and profiteers resounds. At least the state will have the interests of the consumers prime, the absolute idea that capitalism will always benefit all through competition, price control and wages I think is wrong, sometimes the state does know better. If ever there was an example find if you can Mr Frank Field's exchange with the directors of Carillion, along the lines of all those who've lost their jobs are in dire straight all you lot will be fine, they didn't even have the grace to apologise.

In Russia, Alexi Navalny is arrested for what? Has the temerity to challenge Putin. Be careful listening to those who declare anyone disagreeing with them as purveyors of fake news. State sponsored press doping.

29.1.18

I know it's a day old but, this subhuman is an elected representative, come on…

Asked if he believed in climate change by his friend in between brown nosing, Trump said:

“There is a cooling, and there’s a heating. I mean look, it used to not be climate change, it used to be global warming. That wasn’t working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place. The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records. They’re at a record level.”

Tonight there's a programme on Scottish Highlands, wolves and bears hunted to extinction, the wild cat clings on. Why can't the human race be clinging on and these wild creatures thrive.

30.1.18

Leaked government report saying Brexit isn't going to be great for the economy, surprise surprise and the nasties say well it's wrong anyway, it was like that all through the pre-referendum debate, expert says brexit is bad based on research and knowledge. Brexiteers say no it's not, no research, no knowledge just what do experts know, don't trust them.

31.1.18

Please Mrs May Quit.

1.2.18

Mrs May won't quit, and Mr Corbyn is playing a waiting game, the UK is sleepwalking towards a cliff edge, and the racists xenophobes and hard right ideologues say it's not an edge into an abyss it's the brave new world of deregulation.

The person who drove the van into worshippers leaving their mosque was convicted today.   The conviction should also include: Britain first, Wales first, EDL, UKIP, and yes Farage for standing in front of that poster showing 'hordes' flowing into Europe. Extremism, fundamentalism and hatred are the curses of humanity.

2.2.18

Mr Rees-Mogg a particularly interesting (not in a good way) English politician had a meeting disrupted by activists at a university in Bristol, it is absolutely wrong to prevent him from speaking, even though his beliefs on women, climate change, reproductive rights, social justice, taxation, the tobacco industry and almost anything else, anyone other than a fundamentalist, flat earther or creationist  would eschew. He is from a bygone time but let him speak.

3.2.18

Two thoughts start me off, the abortion referendum to take place in Ireland and Mr Trump's FBI problems - his Nunes Memo - there must be a Disney film title in there somewhere

Firstly in as much as the absolute authoritarians will want the Irish catholic people to vote one way, my instinct is to say vote to liberalise purely on the basis of celibate/sexually repressed men telling women what to do.

Secondly, the FBI appear to cut their own furrow, I seem to remember Mrs Clinton was shafted at the last minute in her election by unsubstantiated allegations to which Mr Trump was happy to announce lock her up.

Sport to the rescue, Mr Johnny Sexton genius, France have rained on Ireland's parade enough times.

The Swans rescue a point and are out of the relegation zone.

Wales overcome a poor Scotland team, oh lord now a week of unabated triumphalism.
