Five Million Pounds a Medal.

 

Each medal that Britain won at the Olympics only cost 5 million pounds. So when your local baby unit is starved of funds, or your library has been closed, or your care visit is nothing more than someone appearing briefly at your window and waving, I hope you stop for a minute and think about the sacrifices that were made for each of those medals and perhaps have a thought about the people who made those sacrifices................. you and me.

 

More News About Bird Killers.

In my previous blog I suggested that ex-cricketer and current Muscle Stimulant Machine salesman, Ian Botham, was attempting to get television presenter and wildlife campaigner, Chris Packham, sacked from the British Broadcasting Corporation because of Packham voicing his views on the crimes being committed and the environmental damage being perpetrated on grouse moors.

 That wasn’t totally accurate and I feel I must amend my comments.

It would appear that Botham also wants to tarnish the reputation of the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) who are obviously an evil organisation, as they go around doing all that protecting of bird life and their environment. Botham is a rent-a-gob for an organisation called ‘You Forgot the Birds’, which is backed by a hedge fund manager, several newspaper editors and bankers, as well as several owners of grouse shooting moors. In other words, a lot of tweed clad, privileged, self entitled hoorays and their fellow inbreds.

I think I know whose side I’m on, and it’s not Botham’s and the sociopathic 1 percenters he does his toadying for, while doffing his cap and tugging his forelock.

The real concern here is that we have an organisation, backed by wealthy individuals, that is economic with the truth, spews out self serving propaganda and believes that they can silence freedom of speech, using their money and the right wing media.

Their attitude is “You’re poor. Shut the *uc* up plebs. We’re wealthy, we can do what we like”.

It’s fascism in action. Loud and proud in 21^st century Brexit Britain.

 Whining Brexiteers.

Talking about Brexit (note: we’ve not left yet Brexiteers, and I don’t think we’re going to. Hee Hee.) A lot of Brexiteers have been whining about people who voted to remain not getting behind the project and that we should all pull together. The response to that is, GET STUFFED!!!! YOU BROKE IT, YOU FIX IT! DON’T COME INTO MY HOUSE, SMASH IT UP, AND THEN TELL ME I HAVE TO SORT OUT THE MESS.

You created the mess, you sort it out. And if you don’t do a proper job, we’ll come a-knocking. If the party, you voted for, doesn’t win the General Election, it’s not the law that you have to support the party you didn’t vote for. What you do, is point out why you didn’t vote for them and hold them to account until you get another chance to vote (note: in this case, when a second referendum is held. hee hee).

So shut up whining, Brexiteers, you’ve got a lot of work to do.

 Stuff That Doesn’t Prove the Remainers were Wrong. (it’s just a bit of fun Brexiteers. Chill out. We accept that 65% of the electorate, eligible to vote, didn't vote to leave.).

·        The economy not crashing immediately after the referendum vote. Give it 2/3 years.

·        On the morning after the referendum, your bus was on time.

·        The electric’s still on.

·        Tourists are still coming to Britain. Fall in the pound?

·        Yesterday it was sunny.

·        Unemployment figures dropping. A low wage and insecure jobs market is not proof of a booming economy. It’s the exact opposite.

·        Great Britain winning 60+ medals at the Olympics. If we do ever leave the European Union, totally, I expect the 500 million pounds spent on our athletes will be needed for a new round of quantitive easing by the time of the next Olympics.

·        England finally triumphing in the European Championships………. Oh, hold on.

·        Wales doing well in the European Championships.

·        The housing market hasn’t crashed…….yet.

·        Positive economic news. Unless you have empirical evidence it is down to Brexit it’s probably just cyclical.

·        Major companies like Nissan haven’t packed their bags and left…….yet.

The true effect of Brexit will only become known 5-10 years after Article 50 is triggered. That’s if it is ever triggered.


Don't Forget the Orangutans.

 

Within the next ten years, Orangutan’s living wild will be extinct.
