Epping Justice, Gary Neville and Lest we Forget...

Justice can be slow, but successful.  
The thugs that rioted outside the 'Bell Hotel' in Epping earlier this year faced justice for their crimes.  Three men, so far, have been arrested and charged with violent disorder, this at a 'peaceful demonstration.'  
Asylum seekers have been housed on hotels or suitable accommodation throughout the land, and this hotel in quiet, middle class Epping was one of them.  However, an Ethiopian man sexually assaulted a 14 year girl and the mobsters took this as an excuse to create a riot.  The asylum seeker has since been jailed for his crime.  However, the 'Tommy Robinson' set began to encourage protests outside the hotel, causing much stress to those living there.  The usual flag waving, chanting and no little attack on the building by one or two showed the intellectual level and understanding of those attending.  Care for the girl was less than the chance to riot, attack police, damage local housing, and pee all around the area, like dogs leaving their mark.  Three men have been given sentences of just over one year to just over two years for their violence.  It is to be hoped that more will come soon.


Gary Neville, one time footballer now mediocre football pundit, has stated that the divided society which has led to the events at Manchester was caused by white middle aged men.  Naturally, white middle aged men attending events such as Epping have decried this while waving England and Union flags and asking, "What's wrong with white, middle aged men."
Attending the protests and waving flags ought to have made that clear to them.
The society s divided, this has been coming since Brexit was used to divide and economically destroy the UK.  Encouraged by Farage, Boris Johnson and other Tories who did not understand what Farage was up to, or who was paying him, his money coming from abroad naturally, they pointed to the Migrants arriving dangerously by small boats, which cannot be returned because of Brexit, and claim that is the problem.
Lies such as these have affected the usually thinking Englishman.  Led by the nose however, the Sun, Mail, Telegraph and the BBC have made clear the boats are the problem and 'Reform UK' are the answer.  Who is paying them to say this?  Russia certainly, Israel, and Robert Mercer and other US far right politicians, the ones behind Trump.  
The man in the street doe snot understand this, and like Germans in the 1930s falls for an easy answer, waves flags he does not understand, supports an English history that is incorrect, and votes 'Reform UK,' to solve the problem. 
One problem 'Reform UK' would solve was council tax.  By cutting spending ruthlessly they would save tax payers money.  Now, in both Kent and Durham they have realised there is nothing to cut, and all their talk was vacuous.  Since Osborne's disastrous austerity there has been 14 years of cuts and there is nothing left to cut, so they are putting up the taxes they said they would reduce.
I bet their wages will increase also...

Arbroath 0-5 Dunfermline Athletic and Danny Kruger

 
 
So many football matches these days are spoiled by the never ending drivel spouted by the needless commentators.  A constant flow of words, few of which are relevant to the game in front of them, block the screen as the fans attempt to watch the game.
Add to this the constant desire of the director to ensure the camera is fixed on a man who does not have the ball, had it five minutes ago and does not have it now.  All the while, the commentator tells us needless information about the man's football history.  Either that, or the camera is on a celebrity in the stand while the game is happening 50 yards away.  
However, today I found a club that does football TV properly, Pars TV! 
Dunfermline Athletic has always been a club I was fond off, mainly because of an aunt who lived there and a cousin who once was their physio.  I always see it as a club that ought to be amongst the big boys.  I first went there in 1964, just after the bridge opened, and a good healthy crowd followed from Tynecastle that day.  Many times we have played there in enthralling games.
Pars TV, one of the many TV organisations set up by clubs these days to cover their own games, little chance of large TV donations from the main TV companies, that's for sure.  I first used them a few years ago, now they have established an excellent offering for followers of their team.
Here we see them having a lucky 0-5 win over Arbroath, no commentator spoils the game with biased, meaningless drivel, words do not endlessly flow, instead we are given the impression we are at the game itself, it is wonderful!  We hear the cries of fans, always interesting, the home and away support, and the players and referees as they, er, debate decisions.   Watching this was like being at the game, so unlike most TV coverage today.  Of course, I did not experience the fresh wind off the North Sea right behind the camera, and of that I am glad, I have been there before!
I'm probably breaking copyright to post this, but it is worth it as this coverage so realistic is to be encouraged.  Well done Pars TV.  
 

Who is this, you might well ask?  This is Danny Kruger who you and I have never heard off.  Danny, a Christian, he says, was until today a staunch member of the Conservative Party.  Now, however, he says it is dying and will not recover, so he has hopped onto the Reform UK bandwagon to save his £91,000 and more a year.
While few of us know him, he has been going the rounds within the party, writing speeches for David Cameron, then Prime Minister, Ian Duncan Smith, the mental Tory, and along with his wife, creating a charity called 'Only Connect, a youth crime preventing charity.  He has had various jobs in the DWP and does appear to have an attitude that rings true.  He supports marriage, opposes the individual worshipping society, as he sees it, and refers to himself as 'communitarian.' 
A brief read leaves the impression he may not be as bad as some Eton educated MPs, (his parents are South African, his mother Pru Leith) he also read History at Edinburgh and Oxford, so he cannot be all bad.  Yet in spite of his intelligence, his knowledge, his experience of life, he has fallen for the lie that is Reform UK!  How?
Reform are led by a liar, Reform have no policies, unless he has been brought in to provide some, Reform cannot be trusted on anything, and Farage is a liar, so how can a man like Kruger mix with him? 
I wonder what Badenoch makes of it all?

Brandy for Labour


A wee while back I decided to ensure I no longer fall for those 'shiny thing' buys.  You know, when you see something and desire it now, then spend an enormous amount of money on the shiny item only to somewhat regret the purchase not long afterwards.  We have all been attracted to that latest tech gadget in the shop window, you know, the one that has been lying at the bottom of that cupboard for years, and we wonder why we spent all that much missed cash on the brute.  
I decided that there would be no more of that!
Yesterday, I took delivery of a bottle of Armagnac brandy that crossed my mind the day before.
The thought of the stuff was placed into my mind by a sick person.  I allowed this to wait there as I knew how much such a shiny thing costs, however, I realised there was a little cash left in the Amazon vouchers inserted in that company famed for caring for employees website.  A quick look, a quick purchase of the 'reduced price' cheapest, and yesterday a man with an accent I fail to recognise brought home the goods.  
Obviously I regret this shiny thing purchase...


"Enemies to the right of us, enemies to the left, enemies in front of us, we go forward!"
Such is Keir's attitude on responding to the collapse of the Labour vote, though not as great as the collapse of the Tories vote, and no apology for possibly using the wrong manifesto, the Tory one!
So far, the local elections in England have left Labour down 118 and the Tories down 430.  The Lib-Debs are up 78 and Farage and his rioters are up 466, mostly taken from the Conservatives.  One By-election has gone to Reform, one at least Mayoralty, and lots of council seats.  We are left wondering how many will be councillors by Christmas?
A newly elected Labour mayor has attacked Starmer's policies, a losing Labour candidate also, how many more before he, and the strange power behind the throne Morgan McSweeney, decide to become the Labour Party again.  Stealing from pensioners and robbing the disabled and sick gets Tories votes, until the people cry enough, so why did Labour continue this?  Add also the ridiculous idea of killing off the sick and aged to save money while not taxing billionaires, who are not running out of the country by the way, and you lose votes.  
Something strange is going on amongst those who run the country, I wonder what that could be?
