Month: February 2026

So the Daily Fail has a front page condemning the sectarian election and blaming election fraud. No mention on the front page of the erasure of conservatives – just blame someone, ‘we are not sure who to blame so we just went for Muslims and minorities”? Just stir up more hatred and racism, I refused to touch the shit when I put the papers out this morning! The shop manager wondered if they had not been delivered. Poor dears are confused – Labour was an easy target but the Greens, led by a gay Jewish man are a much harder target, Migration is an easy target for their loyal readers but is counterproductive for voters. Tax the billionaires is popular unless your owners are billionaires! And for fuck sake, the Greens are popular with the young who do not read newspapers at all (since the disappearance of topless girls on Page 3!).

And even worse the BBC will invite Hannah Spencer onto question time where she will be incredibly popular. Old folks will be choking on their alcohol at the prospect of police no longer pursuing black migrant communities for minor offences rather than real crime? And how about a drug raid on HoParliament?

Despite Trump claiming that the last attack was a total and complete success and all Iranian nuclear weapon capacity was destroyed – he obviously lied and is doing it again. Iran seems to have domestic problems to deal with so is Trump just acting like a petulant child because Iranian negotiators do not kiss his arse and feed his gigantic and childish ego, or are the Epstein files likely to reveal more unpalatable facts about his sexual deviance? Or is it a further attempt to manipulate the worlds oil reserves? Personally I go for all three scenarios. Notwithstanding his bullshit speech “State of the Nation”, the American economy is not as rosy as he stated. More Americans are begining to understand that tariffs equal a form of tax. I understand his desire to get more manufacturing into America but surely any costs are balanced by the success of American tec and media companies (and the profits they send back). I think many are also questioning the concept of MAGA. Many believed it was based on greater wealth creation (not just the squillionaires) rather than military might.

trump has called for regeime chaange in Iran so it would seem he is targeting members of the government with the result being a compliant regime. If successful will it result in further chaos and similar outcomes to Syria, Libya and Iraq? Persians form the 53–61% majority, significant minorities include Azerbaijanis (16%), Kurds (10%), Lurs (6%), Gilaks/Mazandaranis (4–8%), Arabs (2%), Baloch (2%), and Turkmens (2%). It would also appear that Iran has encouraged religious fanaticism and its support and training of Hezbollah and other groups suggest a large scale military. I have nothing but contempt for the regime in Iran but history says ‘beware of what you wish for’!

Israel has shown that it has no compassion for innocent civilians with the support of America. How many will die to salve Trump’s ego?

For hope over racism. The good people of Gorton and Denton very firmly voted for the outstanding Green candidate Hannah Spencer, with a clear majority over Reform and Labour. This was despite a rather negative campaign by the 2 other contenders. The Conservatives and Lib Dems lost their deposits. OK this was just one byelection and too much will be read into it. However it is a measure of how the general population is not all racist or stupid; and also that Starmers lurch to the right is not popular with Labour voters – they have gone from a majority of over 15000 to 5000 behind. So will the other parties learn from this? Reform that racist policies, whilst popular with the RWMedia are not overly popular with the electorate at large. Labour shoulld learn that tinkering with Tory policies is not enough – whole scale reform of trhe economic landscape is necessary if they are not to follow the tories into oblivion. The tories, like the CoE have a dying constituency, they have bitter and nasty leaders and no new policies of any note – I am sure they will retain some seats and councils in the Home Counties but the future looks bleak for them. Traditional conservatism was destroyed by Johnson and then some by Truss, Sunak was a holding shadow. The Lib Dems will be the same old – popular where their local organisation is strong, but the reliance on a protest vote against Lab/Cons is a ship that has sailed. They may get votes from those unhappy with the leftish policies of the greens and the votes of tories and Reform unhappy with the right wing fascist polies of Farage and Badenoch.

So is this a new begining? We will wait and see how the Unions support for Labour holds up and whilst the Tories have rich donors they may defect to the lower taxes promised by Reform (greedy bastards). All the traditional parties have been given a warning by the electorate

Liike always I am not sure the Greens are correct on all policies, but if they can initiate a sensible discussion regarding migration, a super tax, council tax, drugs, the environment and climate change amongst others it will be great. It was also heartening to see that the Daily Mails disgraceful attempt at demeaning Hannah Spencer and her policies failed miserably.

Is it ok? My feeling is that if you are incensed by something then fine – go ahead.Some smart arses amongst you may think they can use language more productively, but you are wrong. That most effective swear words are related to sex is irrelevant. I have a scale of swearing – fuck is ok, as are bastards (sounds good when said with power, volume and conviction); twat is a mild version of a word used only in extremis – C***. I reserve this for Farage, Putin and Trump and the bastards who fucked my ………. .I quite like longer versions such as motherfucker or even ‘may the fleas from a thousands camels infect your groin”. What else is there – bugger (tame), blast (very tame), fascist, racist, misogynyst, paedophile are perhaps the worst of all. I am reminded of the late great Manny Shinwell who on being reprimanded by te speaker of the house for calling conservatives liars, responded with the comment that ‘not all conservatives are liars”. However I have yet to see any evidence that not all Reform supporters are C***s.

are multiplying for the government. The sleaze of Mandleson/Epstein is perhaps the tip of the iceberg – certainly for the House of Winsor. Adopting racist programmes to counter Reform are not working – and now there is an all out assault against the Greens. Trump is applying tarrifs like a child in a toy shop, unemployment, especially youth unemployment is increasing; SEND statistics are ridiculous (My opinion is that every child has special educational needs – but not all need outside intervention). Care for the elderly has not been addressed; Student loans are a sick joke. On a positive note migration figures are down – but is this good? Energy bills will be lowered by 7%. A subsidy for E.V.s is being raised. And in an attempt to win the green vote badgers, pine martins and white tailed eagles are being released (although the latter will probably be shot by landowners gamekeepers.

Capitalism – I am not an expert on political economics – but the situation at Manchester United seems to be all that is wrong with capitalism. The club was bought by an American family (Glaziers) with borrowed money and they have paid themselves £1.3 billion whilst the accumulated debt of ManU is. …. £!.3 billion. Ratcliffe has invested from his tax exempt hideaway and has sacked staff and stopped perks. But the debt rises despite Uniteds world wide popularity – and needed new stadium is estimated to cost over £2 billion. Water companies have also been treated as cash cows by foreign companies and investors. A good reliable income, forget the purpose of the organisation, take a loan and fuck off to the tropics! And then because of the huge debts, the creditors cave in and take the pickings thrown them by the fat cats. Unregulated capitalism sucks, as do communism, socialism, theism, fascism and dictatorships.

Nothing to do with the Dave Clark Five though! Just skip around the world.

USA – blizzard hits north-east USA and NY bans all travel. Trump however is still having a sulk and is threatening higher tarrifs – he really should grow up or resign. US military build up in the Middle East is still continuing. He has also repealed an act that says pollution by burning fossil fuels is harmful – delusioned or just fucking mad.

Mexico – The drug gangs are fighting back after their leader was killed. Not looking good for the World Cup! US intelligence was central to the death of El Mencho. Duerte in the Philippines is also conducting lethal raids against drug dealers.

Hungary is obstructing aid to Ukraine by the EU – Their leader Orban is buddies with Putin and Farage – for fucks sake, how much evidence is necessary for thick shits in the British public and media to realise that Reform would crucify the great country or ours? They are already planning for an ICE lookalike to terrorise British streets.

Sea level rise Sea level is rising at about 4mm per year and has risen by about 20cm in last 120 years. Does this mean mountains are now 20cm shorter/less high than they were? Coastal areas around the world are suffering – especially the islands in the Pacific Ocean – but who cares?

Iran. A nasty authoritarian state. Students, very brave ones are demonstrating – but an American bombardment will not help – Iraq and Libya and Syria are warnings.

China Is set to become world leader in renewable energy, The USA have managed to exert influence over the oil stats of the Middle East but appear to be ignorant of the future changes. Empires never last – the world moves on and America will suffer the consequences.

I would not wish to share a kettle or toaster with a neighbour! But things like a lawn mower or an electric drill that are used really or periodically it would make sense. Other people cut their lawns once every 2 or 3 weeks and yet everyone has their own mower, electric drills are used rarely but we all have one! So why not share? just a thought!

Andrews plight is spreading across royalty. The public are becoming aware of the made on charities and the NHS. Why does the King have so many houses/castles? Why does the Crown receive money from offshore wind farms and yet pay no tax? Whilst the Winsors are a quirky soap opera they are a very expensive one for the tax payer. There are 11 ‘royals’ on the pay list – I had never heard of Richard and Birgitte, Duke and Duchess of Gloucester., but they get tax payers money for ???? Apparently Andy (kiddy fidler) was claiming our tax money for ‘massages’ and records of flights on his behalf from Epstein have ;gone missing”. The last queen almost certainly turned a blind eye to his antics, along with leading politicians of the time. Will we ever know the full sordid story with its many cover ups and lies. Was Bris Johnson tutoring them in how to lie without any compunction?

How proud the flag shaggers must be, belting out the national anthem whilst bowing to rich aristocratic and privileged paedophiles and their supporters.

The news continues to be dominated by the rich and famous powerful men. At the moment dominated by Trump, Mountbatten-Winsor, Putin. So I thought I would make a list of famous women. Starting of with the Queens, Victoria and the Elizabeths; then Emmeline Pankhurst and Emile Davidson; Florence Nightingale; Marie Curie; Rosa Parks; Amelia Ehart; Mother Teresa; Indira Ghandi; then a couple I have forgotton the names of who worked at NASA and Bletchley Park respectively. I have avoided cultural and sporting icons as men outnumber women by about 100:1! Historically Joan of Arc and Eleanor of Acquitaine but not including Anne Boleyn as it was all about Henry! Reluctantly I would add Maggie Thatcher and possibly Eleanor Roosevelt; Elizabeth Fry (lived locally); then a string of authors Jane Austin, Enid Blyton, Bronte sisters, Agatha Christie and Beatrix Potter; Marilyn Monroe gets in the list as she is iconic. Of current contenders only Greta Thunberg is worthy of a mention. Of course a list of female pop stars and actresses would be extensive.

So society is male dominated – the media has concentrated on Epstein and Andrew with barelyba mention of the victims. 92% of homicides last year were commited by men of which 83 were woman killed by partners (25 men killed by partners). Obviously each death can have complicated issues – women in situations of domestic violence are rarely recorded as such. 50% of those arrested for protesting about child abuse by asylum seekers were themselves known to the police for domestic violence. Reporting vs. Outcomes: Despite high reports, only about 3.2% of reported rapes resulted in a charge in 2021-2022. And conviction rate is is just above 50%. So less than 2% of reported rapes ends in a conviction. I am aware that an accurate assessment of what happens in a private situation is obscured, But the situation is skewed by the male dominated society we live in. Andrew and Tristan Tate have huge followings for their misogynistic and vile posts on social media. The Daily Mail https://bylinetimes.com/2025/04/23/the-two-faces-of-the-daily-mails-media-misogyny/

According to one knuckle dragging, flag shagging resident “they should leave him alone’ and “he was just having a bit of fun”. Where do these peoples stupidity come from? Andrew is an over-priviledged pervert. His sexual activities do not need to have broken the law to be morally abhorrent. What other members of the royal family were complicit in their silence? It seems that his arrest was due to revealing privileged information to Epstein not his perversions. However we have yet to see the perverts prosecuted for their perversions, whilst the victims – mainly young vulnerable girls guilt shamed by the likes of at least one resident – and I guarantee that he will be voting for the likes of super traitor Farage.
