Selfish Morons

moron noun   [  C  ]       informal UK     / ˈmɔː.rɒn /   US     / ˈmɔːr.ɑːn /   a very  stupid   person : Some moron  smashed  into the back of my  car   yesterday . [  as form of address  ]   You moron! What you see here is people over in Asia being sensible, that is, not being morons. It's not hard to do, it is not rocket science, not in any way. Listen to Tom telling it like it is. Remember, this Hollywood A list actor knows what the virus is like, he got it way back in the early days. Masks are not a new thing you know. This is wartime, back in the 1940's where there was no actual gas anywhere to kill anyone, just a risk that there may be and all generations and genders wore a mask because, they were not morons. Actually, I should think a lot of morons wore them too because they understood that just because they couldn't see something it doesn't mean they should not take precaut...

Am Impressed

How lovely to see an employer prepared to quite literally fly the flag Nationwide Support I thought it might just be a local thing but true to their name, they are making this ‘Nationwide’ and seem to have realised that by actively including the LGB community it will change their image for the better. I will be honest, it was strange for me to turn up at their HQ in Northampton earlier and see the flag flying there alongside the National flag and their Corporate flag but how forward thinking are they? Very in my opinion. There are some 10% of the population who are LGB, that’s a lot of people. You know, there are still a huge amount of companies who don’t have ‘Civil Partner’ as part of their marital status list. Of those who do they still tend to class such relationships as less than traditional familiar relationships. It isn’t a one off event either, across the country Nationwide are showing support for the LGB community. It’s good to see, should be supported too in my opin...

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...
