Slightly unfortunate choice of words; especially 'coming' from Bill!

As a founder member of the “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists” sector of the British nation, that title which was sneeringly attached to us by the Prime Minister after the Eastleigh By-election, I can confirm that the legacy left by the man who called anyone who wished to vote 'Leave' in the Referendum as a 'Quitter'; who then 'quit' himself and resigned as Party Leader and Prime Minister is a Party, the majority of which which dislikes intensely the very ideas which were espoused by this 'posh bloke who didn't even know the cost of a pint of milk'.

We disliked the way in which the Party was bullied into accepting Same-Sex Marriage, we disliked the way in which he tried to join in the Syrian Civil War; and we definitely disliked the lies and fear-laden campaign he and his buddies ran when the Referendum Campaign was in full swing!

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Don't kid yourself, Colin.

Osborne's back will look like a trial run of the final scenes of Julius Caesar, only they'll run out of space for all the daggers, and have to move towards his buttocks to gain a firm place for the extra knife-work!

I was composing a piece about George Osborne, China, trade and HighSpeed2, when I remembered a Post which I wrote about David Cameron, China, trade, and Taiwan. I realised that, by swapping Osborne’s name for Cameron, I might not need to write another story, as it applies in just about all criteria, excepting HighSpeed2.

However, when has coincidence stopped a writer from venting his spleen against stupid and silly plans and politicians?

I noted that George Osborne is planning to invite Communist Chinese companies with High Speed Rail expertise to tender for works on the infrastructure side of HS2. I wonder what special expertise the Communist Chinese might have in boring tunnels, building bridges and knocking things down which we, in Great Britain, don’t possess already? I reckon they just might have a better chance of timely completion in certain technical areas than we do here in England, but maybe that was just a hiccup!

Well, well; I note the usual suspects around the top table of NornIron politics are acting out a charade to stand alongside the best acting given on the Globe Theatre, but with an all too different audience. The D.U.P. is pulling out of the devolved Assembly, using the excuse that the I.R.A. is active once more: giving the murder of two I.R.A. thugs as proof that they are on active service.

As a seasoned viewer on N.I. Affairs, I would have thought it apparent to all that this particular ‘outrage’ is nothing more than three sets of politicians manoeuvring to get out of their responsibilities.

As i see it, the DUP and the UUP wish to bring into Northern Ireland the same savings and austerity measures which have been introduced over the past five years on the Mainland. In this endeavour, they have been consistently refused advance by the IRASinnFein contingent in Stormont, who prefer to pay their ‘Community Advisers’ (code for IRA thugs) through inflated sick benefit, unemployment benefit, spurious Disability claims and other financial shenanigans to the tune of over £100,000.00 per year to EACH claimant! As for the ‘claims’ procedure, which civil servant in Northern Ireland is going to knock back a claim for Disability from a vicious thug and IRA member, who is known to carry a gun, or even better a baseball bat?

So the UUP retires from the Administration, and then the DUP follows suit, and then the Westminster Government will suspend the Assembly, take over the Governing of the Province, and bring in the austerity savings which should have taken effect four years ago. The three warring parties will then shake hands, start up again at Stormont, and the wicked British Government can then be blamed for the loss of all that lovely money!

As a final remark on the whole ludicrous idea of a ‘Devolved Assembly’; I honestly believe that the big mistake made by the British Government was to even think of talking to any of the assorted bunches of terrorists and criminals, especially with the understanding that they could be trusted. The only message that scum understand should have been delivered through the barrel of a rifle; and the ‘caring, sharing’ philosophy of the bleeding-heart traitorous Blair Government would have been squashed before it came into being!

I would point out two items which almost ensured the speedy fall from the (alleged) grace of being within 'Our Dave's' close circle.

1 He went to Shoreditch Comprehensive, and

2 He supports Arsenal.

He therefore holds none of the qualifications for permanent residence within the 'Dave Magic Circle', and when such a spurious allegation was made, instead of giving him support and encouragement, Cameron simply ditched him, as he has done to so many who have felt his displeasure in the past.

I have often felt that knowledge and expertise in 'Wall Games' do not make for 'good governamce', or indeed anything other that protecting against outsiders who dare to have different views than 'The Great Leader'.

So we can now expect all those truly ridiculous Local Council publications and documents, all of which query our religion, sexual orientation and 'ethnic origin' details to be pulped and re-printed?

Don't count your 'free range chickens' just yet!

It should also be pointed out that James Naughtie, that well-known servant of the bastions of Right-Wing thought, is busy celebrating his selection of the 'New Elizabethans, and the Grunwick strikes feature there as well, but not the name of George Ward, the man who stood up against an overwhelming onslaught, but instead Jayaben Desai,, one of the strikers.

BBC; biased? Never; wash your mouth out!
