11 Days to the Olympics

Well it's only 11 days to the Olympics kicks off for real.  Like it's actually happening here in London.  What the rest of the world don't know is the farcical nature of the whole thing.  The 9.3 billion pounds spent on an event which barely any real Londoner can view in person.  Yet will be expected to carry on paying for the Olympic legacy over many years to come.  We all know London should not of won the event, lets face it 9.3 billion pounds could of been spent on something a hell of a lot more beneficial for the entire country.  For example half a dozen top quality hospitals spread up and down and all over the UK.  Hospitals with new standards and additional finance to support them.  Hospitals which would help take the country into the standard of NHS care it should have but will actually not have as it is continuously eroded by the present government.  9.3 billion pounds could of paid quite a bit towards a lot of surgery as well.

In the mean time it has come out in the wash the main security firm G4S is not up to the job.  This company employs the cheapest labour it can to make the most profit it can.  The security contract it has taken out is worth half a billion pounds.  Yet it pays minimum pay to it's officers.  I heard on the radio how a regular contractor to the Olympic venue walked through security with no problems, not just because he was a regular but because it seemed they didn't care two hoots about doing their job.  Young men in their late teens were larking about, they wore the uniforms but they didn't know or understand the full duties of their job.  The consequences, this is serious, very serious.  Theresa May looks like an idiot.  The government had a report on the capabilities of G4S about ten months ago.  It stressed concerns they were not up to the job.  And they definitely are not.  Nobody wants to consider what may happen at the event, nobody wants to consider the inevitable question which MI5 must be thinking about.  Has something already happened?  I think back to when the IRA bombed the conservative conference hotel some twenty plus years ago.

The road network in London will be gridlocked.  This is an inevitable event, there is not a single Londoner who does not know and believe this will happen.  The Olympic lanes are ordinary roads in a city which is close to maximum capacity.  The fear of not having Olympic lanes is that athletes would not be able to get to events.  Well I got news for you, this little topic will raise it's ugly head during the event and some emergency travel arrangements will have to be put into place.  Even if it means using a helicopter to ferry them from one place to another.  It makes me wonder if the rest of the world knows the concerns Londoners have, whether they are privvy to the same radio shows, discussions or news items in papers as we see and read here.  Traffic is likely to be blocked up for hours and I am taking a guess but some events could even be postponed.  Then again I'm a pessimist on this matter.  But as the saying goes, hope for the best and plan for the worst.  I recon some worse planning scenarios need to be thought about pretty quickly.

Angry Cameron and Duplicitous Osborne

Every time I see Cameron on TV I see an angry man.  Someone who does their best to justify who they are, how on earth this man got voted in as prime minister is a travesty.  I've harped on before how Clegg's coalition is the worse thing Lib Dems could of done and it will be another 70 years before they every get the scent of power again.  However, siding with someone who can not keep his cool and has only one excuse which is to blame the previous government is consistently ludicrous.

Cameron and his Tory representatives have constantly said the banks were given free reign by Labour. It was because of this the recession has gone on for longer than it should.  Had a different stance been taken then we would not be here.  However, examine this argument and you'll soon see how false it is.  Conservatives would never have allowed Labour to bring in as much regulation as would of been needed to have prevented the UK from being in the world recession.  The second point is, it is a World recession no a UK only recession.  Again the Tories don't happen to mention this point, unless of course Cameron happens to be in Europe telling the Germans, French, Spanish and whoever he can they should be doing what he says.  He has completely lost it.  What makes him think he can tell other people what to do.  He plainly can not.  People will do what they do.  Giving advise should always have a warning notice applied.  Nobody takes advice.  So don't even bother mate.  I'll give you some advice Camy, stop being so angry.  On camera it doesn't look good and shows how ignorant you are.  All I want is to see Ed Balls goad Cam a bit more.  It seems Balls has got Balls.  He knows exactly how to rile up Camy.  He can get under his skin, unlike Mr Milliband who should side step and let Balls take the lead once in a while more often.  I really would love to see Cam completely lose it and with the right kind of jibe from the right kind of persistent person he will.  Bring in the Paxman I say, the nasty side of Paxman all guns a blazing, there are very very few people who can take on Paxy.

In the meantime back at the ranch you will see Mr Duplicitous Osborne hiding under a stone somewhere.  He furnishes the front bench with a permanent smarmy cushion like smile, he thinks shit doesn't stick because of his Teflon suits, but the thing is Osborne side steps, back tracks and wallows in his own shit.  He has no plan for the country, no plan for the world and is like a rudderless ship ruling the UK with policies which have no thought at all.  He does have an idea.  Not a single idea on what to do.  How the hell are going to pay for an even longer period with this man in office?  Alone he will ensure this recession lasts another 5 years.  He has the kind of personality I have seen people I dislike enormously, people I would never trust, the kind of person who will seek to take advantage of others.  Who says they are qualified but in reality only managed to scrape a pass in the GCSEs.  It's all bloody doom and gloom with these two.

It will not take too long before there is another protest march through London.  When it happens it will be big.  Big enough to make the politicians stop again for a millisecond and wonder if what they are doing is the right thing.  However, if they are a Tory politician their failure of insight and listening to others will have little effect.  The next General Election can not come soon enough.

Witchcraft at the supermarket

It was with a little disbelief bordering on horror I heard a conversation taking place in my local supermarket. Two black females with about three children were discussing witchcraft.  One of them had the view as a Christian church goer she was sceptical of it existing.  While it seemed the other was curious and on the verge of accepting she actually believed such a thing did exist.  There was a persistence about this woman, it was as thought this witchcraft thing was something she was going to hang onto with relish because she had found something important or powerful.  It could well have been a belief system one upmanship she was practising while they walked down the aisle with shampoos one one side and headache pills on the other.  This is London I thought, this is a Western society I live in and here on my very doorstep was someone who was taking back the learning of hundreds of years of reason.  Witchcraft does not exist.  It is not real.  It is something used by a few to manipulate others and more so to those who are no educated.  Who don't understand things and hold beliefs which the UK had disbanded to mental illness also hundreds of years ago.  Such belief systems can not be compatible in today's enlightenment.  But they are.

Are such minds weak and feeble I ask myself.  This can not be true.  It could be due to upbringing and cultural beliefs which are completely alien to my own.  What is acceptable in one society and in one country is not always acceptable in another.  In regard to witchcraft there have been too many high profile news items of children being abused by relatives who thought their children were possessed.  There have been murders and torturing as well.  These are gross violations of human being by other mislead ignorant humans.  It is not enough for them to be sent to prison for such things should not be happening in the first place.  I am nearly fifty years old.  In my life I have not seen a single paranormal event, I have not witnessed anything of the nature.  I have gone from believer, to agnostic to atheist.  In a gradual process of understanding and enlightenment.  It begins at an early age, probably with the notion of the nativity, false belief is then rewarded by such things as the tooth fairy.  Cultural and religious ceremonies are used to bring groups of society together for a single purpose, family and friends are then bound as being part of an event no matter how false it is.  The christening of a child for instance.  They are there to ingrain or breed awe in those who attend so they have a deference.  If you don't hold such deference then these things would be the equivalent of anathema.  Personally, I've got to accept other people have their own ideas.   Even when I get to the point I do not want to advise such individuals beliefs are false, but don't because mentally this could damage them.  Maybe this is what the belief in witchcraft would do to those persons as well. 

It is sad we persist to hold onto false belief systems and  even try and make other people believe the same things.  When I walk down the street and am stopped by religious nuts I waste no time with them.  Unless I happen to be in a cantankerous mood.  I don't see atheists standing at tables trying to convert believers, but they have every right to.  I don't see Satanists standing in the high street but they to have every right to propound their beliefs.  If we are a tolerant and acceptant society even these groups should be allowed their say.  Equally I don't see tables where lesbian and gay people stand and discuss gender identity, but they have an equal right as well.  Such public lobbying of belief systems should therefore be banned unless all belief systems are invited to lobby as well.

An example of partiality, bias, old boy network, the Jeremny Hunt Story

The Levenson enquiry has been probing Jeremy Hunt.  An old chum of Cameron who became culture secretary after Vince Cable went and showed political bias while talking to under cover Telegraph reporters.  Emails and text from Hunt are unequivocal, he was bias from the start.  However, he doesn't believe he was.  His bias is there to see for anyone who has open eyes.  When I see Hunt he has an odd looking stare, the kind which makes me think he may even have a mental illness.  Particularly when he is someone who has two opposing sides and things it is quite OK for them to be existent in the same place at the same time.  He denies being bias in his decision making, although he had frequent contact and obvious bias to News Corp.   The reality is this is someone who does not have a grasp of reality and should probably be locked up in a quiet room with a specially adapted back to front waist coat.  The type which would take him a long time to escape from.  There is something crazy about him, something which is in denial and by it's very denial notions believes itself to be vindicated and right.  Cameron, can not sustain the damage he is getting from his dodgy bedfellows, it's a matter of time.  If Cam wants someone who can not tell right from wrong then Cam is probably in need of a cell for himself as well.  Mind in the incredibly short period of time he has been in power he certainly is good of making a complete hash of it all.

Hunt should do the honourable thing.  But he is dishonourable so he will not.  Odd there seem to be so many Tories with this trait.

Assad is a criminal

President Bashar Al-Assad of Syria continues to slaughter his own people.  Listening to the news is like hearing another article which could of been on Gaddaffi, except we all know Gaddaffi is dead.  Assad has the backing of the military and a minority group of Syria.  It has been reported today Assad's army have killed over 90 people in Houla, and it was confirmed by peace keepers 32 of these were children.  This man sat with Kofi Annan, they spoke of a ceasefire, Assad was asked politely, but he continues to kill.  This is a man who will one day be called to answer for his actions.  In the meantime the aid agency Doctors Without Borders are kept from entering Syria, so Assad purposefully allows Syrian people a lingering death even if they could be saved.  The European community are like always slow to act, they have an impotence which racks up European guilt.  The UN security council had a vote to take action, which must be unanimous.  However, two countries voted against it, China and Russia.  Syria sells them oil, they are friends and they do not want this supply cut off.  However, when it comes to human rights China and Russia don't have a clear conscience either.  The wait for action continues and during this struggle it is now reported some 12,000 plus people have slayed.

Assad's wife lives in the UK and supports her husband in every way.  Shame on you Asma Al-Assad how would you feel if your children Hafez, Zein and Karim were killed in heavy artillery?  But yet you play your part in this diabolical president's support.  She has been banned now from travelling in Europe so is stuck here in the UK, where her blood stained British passport is firmly rooted.  Here is a beautiful rich woman, who wears expensive designer clothes, but is rotten to the core.  One day just like Bashar your time will come Asma your time will come and there is an International Court who will have your name listed, your husband will be first..  An appearance at some future date could be on the agenda.

Syria was under Emergency law between 1963 and 2011, during this time the great dictator Assad had a damn built, now the largest lake is named after him.  Assad, is a member of a minority Muslim population known as the Alawi, approximately 12 percent, whereas the majority  are Sunni Muslims 74 per cent.   I once used to think if you were a Muslim then your belief was each other person who was a member of your religion was your brother.  This is a somewhat naive view.  Whether Muslim or not, Assad clearly prefers the power of his own people and his own people does not include the rest of the country.

Galloway has blood on his hands

There is at this moment only one person who can say George Galloway has not drank alcohol and it is George Galloway.  But my more than suspicious mind comes to play.  Scots drink alcohol, even if it has been once in their life, they drink it.  It is in their DNA.  They may not all be raving alcoholics but they all will and do at some time in their life drink alcohol.  So with this strong belief George must be lying.  If you were to ask any Scot for their opinion on Gorgeous Georgie I am sure they would agree.  I do not personally know George, I do not know his family or his friends or anyone else who may have been associated with him, but I most definitely do not believe his quote:

"...I, George Galloway, do not drink alcohol and never have..."

It is my belief anyone who judges this statement to be true, must truly be naive. Unfortunately we have no alternative source stepping forward to deny Georgie's statement as false.  I'm sure there is a someone out there who does know, someone who was once close to George.  Lets not forget Georgie's background, he certainly does get around and his friends are rather on the dark side.

A friend of President Asad of Syria, on TV in Syria he praised the 154 jihads military assaults every day in Iraq, it is also Asad who is currently in the news for bombing his own populace just because the no longer want him to rule and have quietly tried to demonstrate.  George supported Saddam Hussein and it was Saddam who killed thousands upon thousands of his own Muslim countrymen.  George congratulates openly the glorification of extremists especially when this fits in with the popular zeitgeist.  He openly has sympathises with Hezbollah and their view all Jews should be killed, Georgie has found one political extremist after another and played upon their popular extremist views for Georgie's own sake.  He is nothing but a user and a liar.

The evidence is there for all to see, just go to You Tube and see the videos.  George by his vocal support has blood on his hands.  How the population of Bradford can not understand or see George for what he is, is sad.  He will be their MP, he will take their money, shout from tree tops, bare his chest and fight lions but all the time he is counting his own bank balance and his own popularity.  He likes nothing more than the lime light.  He is a hypocrite in every sense of the word and any reasonable person who is able to think independently can learn this in a matter of moments.

When listening to several You Tube clips with Georgie I can only come to one opinion.  Mr Galloway is mentally ill, I'm not a doctor, this is just an opinion, but with an hour of hearing Mr Galloway and several different interviewers he has frequently contradicted himself and can not tell the truth no matter what it is.  Alternatively if he is not mentally ill, why is Georgie a fanatic in his own way?  Because he likes the attention and he doesn't care who gives it to him.  He will say or do anything for attention or for money.  Lets not forget George playing the cat in the Big Brother household.  George will stand on a box or a dead body just to get noticed.  Citizens of West Bradford you have no idea who is now sleeping in your bed.  Then again we all have the right to make our own mistakes.  In George's case, it happens quite frequently though.

 

Greek Independence Day, mind the oranges

Today marks the great Greek Independence Day.  It celebrates the Greeks overcoming four centuries of Ottoman rule, they fought back and took their own country into their own control.  It marks a proud and special moment in time.  However, it with sadness the Greeks celebrate this day.  Truthfully they have little to celebrate.  Their heads are hung low.  Greece is not an independent nation, it is now a small dog who has a large master called the EU.  This master is being cruel to Greece.  He holds back food and water, he doesn't take Greece out for walks, he shades poor Greece from any sunlight so the sun has no warmth.  Greece is being treated disrespectfully by the EU and by it's own politicians.  Greece wants to be free again but they are not allowing it.  So Greece holds its head low, scavenging any tit bits it can find.  Knowing as time goes on it will get more discontent, it will lose more weight and no longer have control of anything at all.  It wants it's own freedom back.  It wants to see the light again and to feel warm.  Things are bad.

In Athens today the authorities have decided to removed oranges from the trees.  As the politicians show their faces at the celebration, the people are down in heart.  They removed the oranges just in case they were used as projectiles and pelted at the so called democratic politicians.  Politicians who no longer hear what the people want to say.  With one voice they are saying it but nothing is being done.  They are saying bring back the Drachma and dump the Euro.  As time passes by it is the EU now which runs Greece.  They have no imagination, they just want to stifle growth, but growth can only come if there is incentive, desire, recognition and most importantly independence.  If Greek politicians carry on down this route there will be only one foreseeable outcome.  Rioting.  Bigger crowds, louder crowds, full blown rioting as the people feel impotent against the austerity they have now to suffer. 

Listen politicians, the default must happen or you will starve to death your own people.  Hear what they have to say and stop being the chastised starving dog the EU is making of your country.  Become independent again and break the mould.  There is nothing to lose, just do it.
