A Fascist Government?
Umerto Eco wrote this essy on Fascism. I hate the way that Fascism is thrown about on social media. BUT Think about this government and see how many of his 14 points can be ticked. Certainly number 1, a fixation with tradition. 2, well, maybe. 3, Action for actions sake. Operation Save Big Dog is […]
Covid – 19. UK Government’s Mistakes and Lies. (part 1)
Covid – 19 (Coronavirus) is on the Rise, Why? Imperial College London published a major report today (29th October). It says that the pace of the covid – 19 epidemic is accelerating. The report estimates that the number of people infected is increasing by 100,000 a day. That figure is doubling every nine days. (You […]
Coronavirus – It’s the Nurses Fault!
Hancock Continues to Demonstrate His Incompetence Another day another coronavirus briefing in which Hancock showed just how bad he is at his job. You would have thought that the Health Secretary would want to help and support the NHS. However, when he was presented with his own organisational failings he blamed the nurses. They use […]
How to Make Your Own Hand SanitiZer
Not All My Own Work! This is copied from Healthline.com a site that is well worth reading. I thought that anything that helps us all keep safe and well is worth promoting. Besides, making your own hand sanitiser is remarkably easy. Why did we ever pay for it? (oh yes, I am sorry about the […]
I Agree With The Sun!
I Never Thought That I Would Write That….. MPs’ expenses have always been bad news, the sort that the S**m and all the rest of the gutter press relish. Couple an expenses “scandal” to a Labour MP and Rememberance Day and you have a field day for the lowest of the low. Labour front bench […]
A New Maple Bowl – Wood Turning
An Odd Sort of Blank for Wood Turning. When she visited recently Roni brought some blanks for wood turning with her. Among lots of blanks for plates and natural edge bowls were some Maple blanks. I had turned a beautiful (if I say so myself) bowl when I was down at hers last. So she […]
Lies, Damned Lies and Boris Johnson – Part 1
In my last post about the Tory Leadership race I called Boris Johnson (real name Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson) a pratt and a serial lier. I thought that it might be a good idea to justify my accusation that his grasp on reality is frail – as well as being self serving. Originally it […]
Making Copper Pipe Items
Using Copper Pipe I have been playing with copper pipe for a few weeks. I thought that using copper pipe was an unique and interesting idea. Turns out that while it is interesting it is hardly unique. The reason I started with copper pipe is that I ran out of interesting and useable wood for […]
The Gambia Surprise
The Gambia is somewhere special, as I have just found out. The people are amazingly friendly, obviously, some want to show you something or take you somewhere for money. However it is not intrusive hassle and never threatening. The country is beautiful verdant and rich in wildlife. Gambia Maybe Time This was my first ( […]
National Health Service Funding – the £84 Billion Lie
The Tories are telling lies about the funding increase to the National Health Service. Philip Hammond is again playing fast and loose with the truth. Double counting, or quadruple counting in this case, is not normal practice for a government, or anyone else. The health budget for NHS England (other parts of the NHS are […]
Phil’s British Heart Foundation Donation – you know it makes sense
