By  David Craig, on March 11th, 2024Monday-Tuesday blog NHS England’s ‘understaffing’ At the weekend, I wrote a blog using the latest Office for National Statistics numbers to show that NHS staffing in the NHS England had hugely increased between 2013 and 2023, in spite of just a 7% increase in England’s population over the 10 years and a very small increase […] By David Craig, on March 2nd, 2024weekend blog Roll up, roll up your sleeve for the mystery jab (with apologies to the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour) A few weeks ago, I got an sms message from my local NHS surgery offering me a jab commonly given to infants and those of more mature years – the pneumococcal vaccine. From what little […] March 2nd, 2024 |   Category: British lives don't matter, business, conspiracy theories, Mainstream media |
2 commentsBy David Craig, on February 22nd, 2024Thursday-Friday blog This catch phrase – “It’s the economy, stupid “- originated on a sign in the Little Rock headquarters of James Carville, political adviser to Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential election. He posted it as a constant reminder that the main focus of the campaign was the economy. The expression was widely used […] By David Craig, on December 8th, 2023Friday/weekend blog What you measure is what you get I’ll start with a story from my boring little life. Many years ago I had a summer job working on a large hydro-electric scheme. The aim was to let water flow down through a several mile tunnel during the day to generate electricity and then pump […] December 8th, 2023 | Category: British lives don't matter, business, Climate change, politics |
3 commentsBy David Craig, on November 23rd, 2023Thursday/Friday blog I haven’t been able to write a blog for almost a week. But I was so incensed by the farce of the fake-Tories’ excuse for a budget that I feel I have to throw in my twopence. Some commentators have noticed that due to fiscal drag – tax allowances not increasing in line […] By David Craig, on November 7th, 2023Tuesday/Wednesday blog Net Zero is an economic suicide pill The craziest story of the last few months must be the shenanigans at Chinese-owned ‘British’ Steel. In order to reduce the company’s carbon emissions to save the planet from non-existent ‘global boiling’, our useless fake Conservative government is giving ‘British’ Steel’s Chinese owners around £500m of […] By David Craig, on October 26th, 2023Thursday/Friday blog Borrow borrow borrow – as if there’s no tomorrow The UK’s debt is now £2,629,377,653,182. Though it will be a lot higher by the time I finish writing this blog as it’s increasing by over £2,000 every second: United Kingdom Debt Clock: British National Debt Grow By The Second Here’s the chart […] By David Craig, on October 25th, 2023Wednesday blog I’ll only leave this up for one day as it’s not particularly insightful and nobody is interested in my boring little life. Not having children and doing most of my administration on the Internet, thus avoiding bank branches and call centres, I don’t have much contact with the younger generation. But I found […] By David Craig, on July 31st, 2023Monday/Tuesday blog Coutts Bank apears to be a highly disreputable bank which discriminates against millionaires in favour of multimillionaires and seems to be happy to take money from any passing kleptocrat or fraudster. Being associated with Coutts could be damaging to Nigel Farage’s reputation. Coutts’s Wikipedia page reports of enormous financial malpractice by Coutts, which […] By David Craig, on July 12th, 2023Wednesday/Thursday blog There has been quite a lot recently in the media about Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially since a deepfake video appeared on-line supposedly featuring financial expert, Martin Lewis, recommending some investment or other. In this blog I just wanted to give a glimpse of the Kafkaesque nightmare that may await some of us as […] |
