Review Of 2016 Goals

By

I never bothered reviewing my 2016 goals, or setting 2017 goals, as I was unemployed. Better late than never. Lifestyle Lose Weight – My original plan was to get down to 87kg last year, then 83kg this year.  Given that I failed, I’m amending this to 85kg this year (I’m currently 91kg as of writing). Failed.  90kg by the end of the year. 36 Day Detox – I’m upping it by 5 days this year (in effect an extra weekend, eeek!) and including processed meat such as bacon and sausages.  It started on 27th January. Passed. Get On My Bike, … Continued

Loving London Life

By

You know when you ask someone how they are?  Many people just give the same answer every time – their cat might have died but they’re fine.  They just had an amazing blow job but they’re still fine. I normally think and give an answer.  Occasionally if I’m tired, in a rush, too many people have asked me or just don’t like the person asking me, then I’ll give the bland answer.  But I like to treat people’s questioning of my health and happiness with respect, and give them a considered answer. At the moment, it is noticeable how often … Continued

No Deal Might Have Been Preferable

By

UK brexit clipart, illustration psd

It has been amusing over the last 24 hours to see the incredible hypocrisy from Labour supporters over the deal with the DUP – I don’t recall such opprobrium over Gordon Brown attempting a deal with the DUP in 2010, nor do I recall any Corbynistas disowning themselves from a potential deal with Sinn Fein. Then a complete packet of lies, with the Corbynistas suggesting that there was £1.5bn going straight to the DUP.  The money doesn’t go to the DUP – it will be spent on infrastructure, health, education, etc, and the extra amount going to Northern Ireland is … Continued

May Should Stay – For Now

By

President Trump and Prime Minister

My two main reasons for wanting a large Conservative majority on Thursday night were to #StopCorbyn and also as an up yours to the vile, nasty left-wing scumbags (not all lefties are scumbags, just like not all Brexiteers are racist). Corbyn is not Prime Minister – albeit like typical socialist dictators, he seems to think he has won the election and should be Prime Minister instead. Not only that, but Theresa May – my least favourite Conservative leader ever – a woman I have consistently criticised, compared to a mixture of Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, and whom is generally … Continued

Why I Voted Conservative

By

Election Day

Not exactly a surprise, is it?  James Winfield, the self-proclaimed ‘only Tory from Hull’, has voted Conservative. But this was actually a tough decision for the first time in my adult voting life.  Even a couple of days ago I was having some doubts. This is not a vote for the Conservative Party and the direction it is going in.  It is certainly not a vote for Brexit.  And it is definitely not a vote for Theresa May – the ghastly leader that I have long been comparing to Gordon Brown (you could call that insightful?). Sadly this is nothing … Continued

3 Crumbs Of Comfort For Conservatives If Corbyn Becomes PM (***shudder***)

General Election 2017 Posters in Bexhill on Sea

I appreciate that this is a bit of a straw-clutching exercise, and that the idea of Corbyn being Prime Minister is still somewhat in the realms of fantasy – I remain hopeful and expectant that the public at large are wise enough not to fall for what is a Chavez-esque strategy of bribing the voters. Maybe it is also a bit of psychological preparation just in case Corbyn follows Trump with a victory for populism.  Believe it or not, there is quite a lot in common between Trump and Corbyn, politically.  But this is not the blog post for that. … Continued

Labour Manifesto 2017

By

street performer engaging audience with magic trick

I wasn’t going to bother writing about the Labour Party’s rediscovery of the magic money tree, but it is such a document of deceit, that seems to be deceiving people – given the polls, that I do need to do my bit to debunk it. You could summarise it by “you can have everything for free because we are going to make the rich pay for it”. Except it simply won’t work.  This is back of a cigarette packet economics, and that is probably offensive to cigarette packets. Allegedly the manifesto is fully costed, but I could similarly say that … Continued

Me & The Moment

Lightning bolt enamel pin denim

I started writing this last night as I was waiting to see what was happening with the thunderstorms in the English Channel.   As I was spending a lot of time just staring at the lightning detector, I had time to ponder.  I guess I have plenty of time to ponder – over two hours a day commuting for example but maybe my tiredness and glass of vodka red bull were helping me direct my ponderation.  The question I was asking myself was, “how happy am I?”.   For sure, I am enjoying my life right now.  Saturday I went … Continued

Conservative Manifesto 2017

By

Several Chelsea Pensioners gathered around

I have finally got around to having a decent look at the Conservative Party manifesto.  Yes, I know it was launched over a week ago but I’ve been busy.  And a lot has happened in the meantime – not only to the manifesto itself. You’ll likely know that I am no fan of Theresa May.  I find her a cross between Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband – with a bit of Nigel Farage thrown in for fun.  It is absolutely no surprise that she is throwing away the opportunity for a very large majority given her rather ghastly persona – … Continued
