When Will Common Sense Prevail


Yet another instance of common sense being thrown out the window.

Teacher Lynda May has been pursued through the courts for a matter which should have been dealt with by a local disciplinary review.

What is truly breathtaking is the fact that the CPS felt that such an incident warranted the full weight of the law, the judge also felt there was a case to answer. Only after due process did common sense raise its head and Mrs May was cleared. (Full Story)

It’s no wonder that our judicial system is so bogged down.

Phantasy !!!


It has started again.

The so-called weather experts are once again telling us to get ready for that long hot barbecue summer. Look what happened with last years barbecue summer and I thought the met office had abandoned long-range forecasts. According to the press, not only are they forecasting fine weather but they are daring to predict temperatures up in the high 30’s in August.

Don’t know about you but I am keeping my brolly close at hand.

British Airways Cabin Crew Strike


Thank god the courts have seen sense and banned the strike that was supposed to start today. I don’t know about you but I am sick to death of the way in which it is seen as OK to hurt the general populace just so you can get your way.
