Now I am all for warm weather. Where I come from it is always good to see it, we saw it so rarely up there. Down here in this xenophobic nation it is more common, this county is supposed to have the least rainfall of all, so why do they grow all the crops here? Anyway, when the sun shines we enjoy it and I am happy if the temp reaches 70.F and stays there.
However, there are drawbacks.
Today we have rain showers in between sunny spells, this gives all those driving their big open topped cars in those sunny spells the opportunity to bless us with all the pleasure of hearing the loud and indeed bad music they listen to! Open windows, open top cars, occasional idiot with loud transistor, remember them? either will do, but we have to hear their poor choice of bad noise.
Add to this the eejit who thinks we need to hear his loud phone calls, business sounds good where he is, and pleasure is abundant for all around, well maybe not for the man in the following white van who clearly has his own opinion on this.
No, I am not jealous. I have no wish to join the 'rush hour' and sit in a car moving at two miles an hour in a queue so long you cannot see the beginning of it. I have long lost the need to own a pretentious large expensive vehicle to impress those around me. Indeed, I have not got the money to do so, and I would not do this, unless the Good Lord does present me with the maroon coloured Landrover I have been asking for these past few years.
I do however, have a bus pass...
Bah!
It was good to get out of here today to return the empty beer bottles vinegar bottles and mayonnaise jars to the recycling bins. I have been spending far too much time on Twitter and newspaper forums. The 'Daily Express' one in particular. The Brexiteer is one with a closed mind, closed so tightly no fact can change it. One grumbled 10,000 migrants have clambered into this country, I indicated 60,000 EU lorry drivers have been banned by Brexit, can these migrants not drive? This did not go down well.
The EU is at fault for everything, but free England, never the UK, has got them beat. For a start the 'Express' extols our deal with the Far East, countries like Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. These replace Germany, France and Spain! For the Brexiteer this is a success? A deal with Australia has enabled us to make £400,000 a year from exports, the Aussies make £1.5 Billion from the deal!
This is another Brexit success? The 'Express' reader, not counting 'Bots' or the '77th Brigade' doing Boris's work, does not like facts, he is blind to anything but Brexit, his life depends on this.
There is however, worse.
On Twitter I got involved with an American, so you can imagine the lack of knowledge, who boasted he had not been vaccinated even though all his workmates had been.
Now the media today is full of such people bemoaning not getting vaccinated because they were considered physically strong, believed the lies on social media, and then catching Covid and sadly passing away regretting their foolishness. How sad then to see someone boasting not being vaccinated, made worse by claiming that he was following Christ Jesus and trusting him for health. Indeed he ought to do this, but Jesus, like the vast majority of Christians, would say 'Get the jab!' Several US pastors have caught the virus, some have died, all say 'Get the jab!' We get vaccinated against measles, chickenpox, shingles, polio, smallpox and other things, yet we are supposed to consider this one 'evil?' Some still believe the pandemic was caused by Pharma companies, some by the 'New world order' and others believe still that Bill Gates has inserted a bug into them to follow them around or tell them what to do. In the UK most people call that bug 'Google' or 'Facebook.'
I have been amazed at the opinions found on such forums. I expect them from closed minded Rangers and Celtic fans, but the depth of belief on strange theories amazes me. The blindness and unwillingness to listen by the Brexiteer leaves me considering this a 'cult.' Is there an answer?
Q. 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'
A. 'To avoid meeting Nicola Sturgeon.'

Is that quote of Johnsons speech true? If so its terrible, whilst on one hand I dont really want Scotland to become independent as it will be the break up of the Union, on the other, I dont blame them. In the [far] future I can also see Ireland becoming unified and as for Wales it's far too small, with no large sources of income or industry to survive on its own.
Sturgeon should invite the filthy beast to a Black Dinner....he would probably think it meant black tie and turn up, snout ready for the trough.
Dave, Sadly it appears this is a parody! He has said much the same, in the Spectator for example, but this one fails sadly.
However, his recent day trip to Scotland shows his contempt for the country, and Wales also.
Fly, Sadly his security would save him. The story today is that he 'almost drowned,' on holiday last year in Scotland. Sadly the security man saved him...Black dinner might be worth a go...
