Fly Seagulls Fly


OK I’ll admit it. I’m only posting this to get up the noses of my family and friends who, locally, are Pompey supporters.

But hey, I claim bragging rights. I have had to put up with all the comments and snide remarks aimed at Brighton & Hove Albion

aka

The Seagulls

Maybe its the new Amex Stadium that is helping to boost their game but the Seagulls season is off to a flying start

The world just lost another bright star of the music industry.

Who can forget dancing to Ashford & Simpsons Solid (As A Rock). Nick Ashford, whose hand has touched so many well know songs has left a “solid” musical legacy for us to enjoy.

Paedophiles – Human Rights !@*%*


Out it comes again, the “Human Rights” card.

So paedophiles can brush aside the human rights of their victims but once they, the paedophiles, have been convicted they can scream out for their own human rights.

It is sickening that our judicial system is falling over itself to ensure that they get their rights. In this case granting paedophiles a “right to a family life”, “allowing un-supervised visits with their children”, “allowing access to the internet”.

It is my belief that convicted paedophiles, as with any other criminal, jettison any rights when they opt to live outside the law.

Why does our judicial system, time and time again, care more about the criminal than it does about the victims.

 

RIP “Eggman” – RAF Red Arrows


Death Of A Hero

We tend to forget that these guys don’t just join the RAF to entertain us.

Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging had already seen active service before becoming part of the Red Arrows and it would appear, if news reports are accurate, that he died trying to ensure that his stricken plane didn’t crash into populated areas.

My thoughts are with his wife Emma and his family at this time.

England is NOT in moral decline – So Says Blair


“England is NOT in moral decline” says Tony Blair.

Well he would say that wouldn’t he. To say anything else would mean that he has to admit that it was happening during his tenure as Prime Minister let alone during Gordon Browns miserable term in the hot seat.

It would also mean admitting that he is a hypocrite since he actually made political points when in opposition by referring to a wider ‘moral breakdown’ in society at the time of the  Jamie Bulger murder.

Tony Blair and the Labour Government presided over the biggest drop in national pride, allowed more moral laxity than any prior governments.

Sorry Tony, you had your head up your arse when you were Prime Minister and it’s still there. Its time you came up for air, got your head out of the darkness and took a long hard look at what is really going on.
