Votes for 16 year old children

My life has been pretty shite over the past couple of years so I have been a bit quiet which is why I haven’t posted for so long. I have also tried my best to keep clear of Brexit as much as possible as I always thought it was going to be a dogs dinner. … Continue reading

Why our Brexit negotiations may not work Continue reading

Make Mainfesto Pledges Legally Binding

Well it’s election time once again and all the parties have put out their manifestos. Before we go any further please remember that I have not read them. I did go on the Conservative manifesto page the other day to see if I could get hold of a copy and I could very easily download … Continue reading

Human Rights Law – Is Wrong Again

Apparently Germany have decided to kick two people out of the country who were born there because of the terror links of these people. They were suspected of planning to carry out terrorist attacks and were arrested over it but have never been brought to court as there wasn’t enough evidence that they were going … Continue reading

Manifesto Pledges – It isn’t rocket science, it’s called honesty

I see that the Conservative party have got themselves in a spot of bother over the planned rise in National Insurance contributions for the self-employed. The reason for this, apart from the fact that it seems a little unfair, is that people are saying that they have broken one of their manifesto pledges. If I … Continue reading

Mobile Phone Driving Ban

Soft Touch Britain Deserves Better

I have just read an article in a newspaper about an Albanian murderer finally being kicked out of Britain and that he has finally lost legal battles tying to avoid extradition. He claimed that there was no justice in Albania and yet this man gouged out the eyes of one of his victims, presumably before … Continue reading

Pay Up Whirlpool like BP did!

I see that Whirlpool, the company behind  the fire risk dryers, have finally told owners not to use them. Why? Are they unsafe to use? If they are now unsafe, then they were unsafe before people were told not to use them, in fact they have always been unsafe and yet the company were saying … Continue reading

Sales Tax or Business Rate Rise?

Talking about business rates again and costs to small businesses, these businesses have to pay their rates whether they make any profit or not on sales of their goods. So do large businesses of course. However, I am becoming more and more convinced that it may be an idea to introduce a sales tax. Yes … Continue reading
