Sign Of The Crimes


Thieves who stole the copper from a school roof forcing the school to close are now to be warned off the unsafe roof… in case they are injured !!! Even though they should know that the roof has been made unsafe by their own actions.

This is just another indication of how ridiculous our country is becoming. Any criminal injured during the course of their nefarious activities deserves everything they get. They have no rights to medical treatment, no rights to fair treatment and certainly no rights to claim compensation.

ECHR – A Well Worn Trump Card


There it is again, the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights),once again being used by a criminal as a “get out of jail free card”. Thankfully the judge, Noel Lucas QC, is not being diverted from handing down a custodial sentence. Good man.

Japan earthquake and tsunami – My thoughts and prayers go out to the Japanese people


My thoughts are with the Japanese people following the enormous earthquake and sunami that has devastated many areas of the country.

I have to say that I did breathe a sigh of relief when I found out that friends and relatives in Japan are safe. At the same time I feel a little guilty for feeling like that when obviously so many people have lost their lives or have had their lives and homes wrecked.

View From The Conservatory


The sun is shining and the birds are singing but I’m not a happy camper.

Why, you may ask, am I not happy ?

Well its because I have had a tooth removed. Here it is gone midday and I haven’t had a bite to eat. With no prospect of having anything substantial before tomorrow. Currently I have a gob full of wadding and the right side of my face is numb.

This situation is not helped by my granddaughter texting me that I should have eaten before I went to the dentist.

Well I know that now Miss SmartyPants.

I have also had to bale out of two teleconferences since just listening isn’t very helpful and my joining in is probably reduced to the level of  mumbling and drooling. Nice !!!
