Prepare For 1974

 

The government is making half hearted efforts to nudge us into preparing for power cuts, water shortages and other contingencies.

It is perfectly sensible and reasonable for people to have stockpiles of food, water, medicines and other essentials. However, I have a number of observations:

1 Why has it taken the government this long to issue this half hearted advice?

2 Many people can't afford to stockpile these items, what are they meant to do?

3 Three days is simply not long enough, there is no way a major power outage/water contamination etc will be fixed in that time.

 4 Why have successive governments allowed our energy, water and communications infrastructure to become so vulnerable? 

Tin hats everyone!

Cameron Warns Brexit Risks War

In the event that he really believes that, why the hell did he call a referendum in the first place?

For a man who claims to be a pacifist, Corbyn seems somewhat relaxed about allowing others to bully and intimidate those who disagree with his "pacifist" views.

It is not good enough that only his ex girlfriend expresses concern at the thuggery carried out in the name of "peace/Corbyn".

The "Special Relationship"

Those who are paranoid about the demise of the so called "special relationship" between the USA and the UK, especially in the light of last night's defeat of the British government's plans to launch punitive strikes with the US against Syria, should have no fears.

The "special relationship" is only ever invoked by the USA or UK when one or both governments wants something from the other or the people of those two nations (usually backing for a war). On other occasions, non military, it is rarely invoked or used for emotional blackmail.

The UK gave no direct military backing to the USA during Vietnam, and the US gave no support to the UK during Suez; yet the "special relationship", or rather the invocation of the "special relationship", has continued.

Poor Old Mr Ed

The Huffington Post states that No 10 and the Foreign Office think Ed Miliband is a fucking c**t and a copper-bottomed shit.
