Britain’s ‘Roadrunner’ economics

Monday-Wednesday blog

Hopefully most readers remember the Roadrunner cartoons in which a bird, Roadrunner, gets chased by Wile E. Coyote. Most episodes ended with Wile E. Coyote running over the edge of a cliff:

Then he keeps on running as if nothing is wrong. Finally, he looks down and gravity takes over:

This could […]

Our politicians are enemies of the people

Friday-weekend blog

I was going to write a Friday/weekend blog. But then I came across this article on Friday’s Conservative Woman. It says everything I would have wanted to say:

Politicians – the Enemy of the People Perhaps the only thing I would add is my […]

“It’s all still to play for” claim lying fake Tories

Wednesday-Thursday blog

The lying game

We’re seemingly stuck in a strange charade. Following the local elections disaster for the incompetent self-serving, expenses-fiddling, sexually-deviant fake Tories, it seems that the official lines Conservative MPs have been ordered to spout at every interview are “It’s all still to play for” and “the election result isn’t a […]

The rise and fall of civilisations

Friday-weekend blog

In 1978, former British officer, commander of the Jordan Arab Legion and historian, Sir John Glubb published an essay: The Fate of Empires. His key message was that: “The life histories of great states are amazingly similar.” The essay sketched out a proposed trajectory for the rise and fall of civilisations:

The […]

BBC cheers as Britain goes bankrupt

Monday-Tuesday blog

Sometimes on Sundays I watch the Laura Kuensberg programme on the BBC while working out in my gym. Last Sunday the whole programme as about how Britain was ‘fighting’ climate change’. Almost all the participants, especially Kuensberg, bleated and moaned and complained that Britain risked losing its position as the world leader […]

mRNA – just the latest in a series of disasters imposed by pig-ignorant politicians?

mRNA – heart-destroyer and cancer turbocharger?

I wanted to write about the growing evidence that, in addition to causing heart conditions like myocarditis and pericarditis, mRNA vaccines are now suspected of ‘turbocharging’ cancer growth by damaging the body’s immune system. But many other people have explained this process much better than I […]

Gaza could have been wealthy and successful

Friday-weekend blog

All we ever hear about Gaza is that it is poor and undeveloped due to supposedly being oppressed by the beastly Israelis. We don’t ever hear anyone mentioning that Gazans receive more aid money per inhabitant than anywhere else in the world. In fact, Gazans receive just over double the amount of […]

The real reason they hate Israel?

Monday-Tuesday blog

Here’s a very simple chart. It shows the GDP per capita of Israel compared to a few of its Religion of Wonderfulness neighbours:

Maybe this is the real reason our friends from our favourite religion loathe Israel so much – because the success of tiny Israel shows up the Arab countries for […]

Is it time to abandon Israel?

weekend blog

Israel became a nation on 14 May 1948. I fear that the country cannot survive to reach 100 years in 2048 – in just 24 years’ time. Here are just a few reasons why I don’t believe Israel can survive:

Population: The population of Israel is just 9.6 million of whom 73.8 […]

Ed Miliband – destroyer of jobs, wrecker of lives?

Monday-Wednesday blog:

In an article in the Sunday Telegraph at the weekend, Ed Miliband, the shadow net zero secretary, was quoted as saying: “Fourteen years of failed Tory energy policy has seen jobs driven overseas, our clean energy infrastructure imported from aboard, and our country left exposed to the worst cost of living crisis […]
