Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, YOU SUCK BIG TIME! Found out about this ‘legal’ crime in a video [...]

Just watched the ‘Escaping polygamy’ documentary on current TV. It’s about the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) which basically owns Colorado City, Utah, in the USA. What an eye opener! It’s hard to believe that this abuse of women & children is allowed to go on. With men basically getting multiple [...]

The story of Lance Corporal Michael Pritchard, killed by friendly sniper fire caught my attention on the BBC South news tonight.

So rise the silent peaceful majority. IS YOUR TIME NOW? Really! Why can’t we all just get along? I’ve recieved a link to a religious / political you tube vid from someone who really does’nt forward this kind of political stuff. This vid got me thinking in some contraversial ways, some I wasn’t proud of, being the [...]

General Stanley McChrystal paid the ultimate price for standing up to politicians that were the reason he was in a war. He spoke his mind. If I were a frontline soldier I’d like to have a general in charge who has the soldier’s welfare in mind, not a political agenda that started out as a [...]

The UK’s Virgin Media, part of Richard Bransons group of companies, bill dead people & more than once! Featured on tonights edition of BBC’s Watchdog programme.

Margaret Haywood, struck off nurse. This is what happens when a useless Labour government pushes targets & budgets over someones life. Travesty is an understatement. It took 4 years for the tribunal to throw the book at Margaret Haywood. They struck the nurse off. They struck off a nurse with 20 years experience. Why? I’ll [...]

Labour political sleaze. It just goes on and on. Yet more Labour political sleaze in the papers today. More & more I just think members of the Labour party are slyly trying to rake in all the tax payers money they can through dubious legal expenses before they get voted out. It doesn’t matter if [...]

As a UK licence fee payer who doesn’t have a choice in paying this TV tax I’m annoyed to hear the BBC sells advertising on it’s American channel BBCA. I have to pay £139.50 a year towards the funding of the BBC. Yes they do make some great programs. One of the reasons for this [...]

So no pullout of the unwinnable war in Afghanistan then. Whats it about? Trying to do what the might of the Russian Army couldn’t? Is somebody somewhere working on the next ‘Cold War’ or something?

Barack Obama. “Time for change” got him elected. I think Barack Obama has potential as the new U.S. President. Just one question. Who does HE think his boss is? To me ( & you if you’re American) the American people are his boss. It’s the basis of democracy. He’s got a tough job to take [...]

Israel Gaza War (My apoligies if that’s not spelt right – I’m just HUMAN – like you.) – I appreciate Israel does’t want rocket attacks on Israel but the general bombing of the Gaza strip was WRONG. Indiscriminate killing solves nothing. Well done… You’ve just probably made sure of another 50 years of potential death [...]
