Madness in the City

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

I try not to watch the TV News, or at least the mainstream News Shows on BBC, ITV, Sky and their ilk. I do record some GB News programing for later viewing but after a week or more of major Social, Political and Cultural  events here in the UK I actually ‘caught’ the BBC News today by mistake (It was on in the background).

It’s been an eventful year so far. World War III has begun. Not with the Big Bang and a Nuclear Winter that we’ve been promised by that particular bunch of Doomsday Cultists. Instead we have a global food and energy crisis thanks to the aggression and expansionism of a Russian Megalomaniac. There will be ‘fallout’ but (we hope) of a rather different kind. A Cold Dark Winter is about to descend on Europe as WW III gradually builds it’s momentum. I predict that there will be many hoping for some evidence of the promised Global Warming that yet another Doomsday Cult has been so actively promoting amongst our Political Masters.

Since the year I was born Queen Elizabeth II (Elizabeth the Great) has been our Monarch, this year we celebrated her 70th. anniversary as Queen, followed all too soon thereafter by her passing. Both events significant to our Queen, her family, our Nation and others. Events of Public Celebration and of Public Mourning marked by Public Holidays. Just four days ago Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was finally and very publicly laid to rest in St. Georges Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Today The Bank of England, having spent Billions on Quantitative Easing and supporting Lockdowns has been forced to raise Interest Rate to 2.25%, recognizing Inflation is now well into and will continue in double digits for an extended period and declaring  that the Economy is officially in Recession.

The BBC has actually blamed the economy’s ‘official’ recession on The Queen. Public (Bank) Holidays for the Jubilee and the State Funeral are the cause of the Recession!

The Perfect Storm. When does Conspiracy Theory become Conspiracy Fact.

by | posted in: Environment, Politics | 0

Politically, Socially. Economically we in the West seem to have suddenly arrived in the very heart of, or have become the center of ‘The Perfect Storm’.

As a weather phenomena storms are transient, they constantly move, move-on and change, Having said that, ever since Man has been able to view it, the Great Red Spot storm on planet Jupiter, a storm the size of our planet, continues apparently unabated, cause unknown.  Does the size and intensity dictate a storm’s duration; perhaps.

It would be easy to continue the analogy, especially through the impending nightmare winter (2022-23) most of Europe is about to have to endure. The threat of the potential consequences are such that unless we analyze and understand how we arrived at this point, how the various factors combined to create the disaster, the aid likely to be so desperately needed could potentially be misdirected or at least not directed to where it can do most good. Facts are that there’s unlikely to be enough timely help available so that which is needs be directed for both maximum relief and benefit.

We must come to grips with the fact that this ‘Perfect Storm’ is of our own creation, all be it ably assisted by the likes of Putin & Xi.
