ROYALTY

The adoration of the Queen’s 70 year reign has started with months to go! A very good friend was extolling her as being someone who no one had a bad word about – good effort in todays acidic media environment.

DUMB

What is this nonsense about a £200 loan to offset fuel costs? Surely the easy, targeted answer was to reinstate the £20 universal credit decrease? And whilst at it cut the bureaucracy of the winter fuel payment to OAP’s – just add it to pensions where the rich will be taxed on it.

GET A GRIP

Right wing commentators are half right in saying that the public are bored with ‘party gate’ we are bored with the details and the lies. ALL the guilty should should resign, including those pedalling the lies, and be prosecuted. The British public needs decisive action to bring the economy back under control.

CORRUPTION

I formerly believed that corruption was a result of poor governance in recently formed democracies without experience. It would seem that as democracy is weakened every day, by every lie and every calculated manoeuvre by the nasty party, corruption spreads. Fraud is estimated to be close to £200 billion in the UK. We spend more money policing student loans than tracing fraud. London is a centre for money laundering. The Chancellor writes off billions of fraudulent claims during Covid – perhaps he could employ lawyers on a no win no cost basis with 50% being kept by the lawyers?

FA CUP

What is there not to love about it? First the rich boys of ManU get beaten (albeit with a very dubious goal), then at half time we have Kidderminster 1 WHU 0 and Plymouth 1 Chelsea Russians 0. The scores may change but the romance continues.

Can we start a campaign for the final to be returned to 3pm on a Saturday?

SLEAZE-DOGG

Pathetic attack on Labour by suggesting taxes would be higher if they were in power. His party has been in power for so long it makes no difference. His party and his Prime Minister have got just about every major decision wrong. And even the one they seem to have got right – vaccination – now sees us behind many others.

COOKIES WITH Middle East TASTE?

I was thinking dates and limoncello – possibly with lemon flesh (might be fiddly getting rid of the pith, or maybe just the zest? I would actually like to put dried apricots (but Kate would make horrible yuck noises!) in – maybe do both?  I like lemons lots!!So 100g chopped dates – cook slowly in a little lemon juice to soften100g butter 30g cane sugar – this is reduced as the dates are sweet.100g oats100g flour Limoncelli miniature plus 2 lemon, juice and zest1 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp baking powder
