Today's thoughts: Bird Flu, Blair, soccer - 4 hours sleep last night!
Bird flu keeps spreading across Europe and gets nearer to the UK. The only question is it going to mutate and become a human pandemic! Last month because it had not jumped the species barrier, I thought it would not threaten the human race, well not until next winter but it has reached Africa, I am...

From paternity leave to Bingo Bob, the transatlantic random thoughts of a
political obssessive! I see David Cameron (the British opposition leader) is taking a fortnight’s paternity leave and I say well good for him. To often political life can be all consuming and personal life can be non-existent! I hope it will be a trend setter for other new dads! I understand as an...

Why do I write a political blog?
I think I have something to say like every other blogger! Although I cannot speak clearly I can communicate intelligently and have something important to say! Well at least I think I do. People ask me what I would be if I was not disabled and I can never answer this question because my severe...

Glorification of Terrorism / Tony Blair is still Prime Minister, although
many people may write him off for their own gain. The glorification of Terrorism act may or may not be effective but it sends out the signal to every preacher of hate, be they Christian, Muslim or the animal liberation front, that peaceful protests will be tolerated but any calls to do harm will no...

MPs don’t only stub out; they throw out the fag packet and matches!
I thought the total smoking ban would pass with about 30 votes but the law was passed by over 180! So what an anticlimax! Although as the Conservative opposition pointed out, the ban goes far beyond the Labour government’s manifesto. As I said previously I think it is more in line with public...

ID cards, Cigarettes and my BIG NOSE!
The government did not lose any votes on introducing ID cards, Monday. In quite a clever or devious move they are not compulsory but anyone applying for an UK passport has to apply for an ID card. Now that most of the people in the country, travel abroad at least once a year and so this means within...

As a British citizen who supported the invasion of Iraq I’m disgusted!
That British soldiers would stoop as low as the Sadam regime! Although the second Gulf War was sold to the British public as a hunt for Weapons of mass destruction, I personally felt that any invasion was justified morally because it would rid the country of dictatorship and torture. Normally I get...

The war on terror – ism is not a war on Islam!
To me this is a very important phrase and principal, which should become a mantra for all world leaders and their spokes persons! Nine eleven changed the whole world in my perception but I did not link it with the Islamic religion. Too many people do make this link! The war on terror will only be...

What the hell happened in Dunfermline?
I have been musing on this for 24 hours but I had not come up with anything coherent and then it hit me! [Non UK readers check the links after this entry for more information! ] Every one hates Labour? The Government who invaded Iraq, raises taxes and creates unemployment, well in Dunfermline! I...

Everyone should contact their MP / Congress man / person;
I say this with reference to my last blog entry! By ten o’clock this morning my wheelchair was being repaired. After posting my last entry, I slightly edited it and emailed it to my local Member of Parliament. By 9am her office had phoned the wheelchair repair company and having the ‘fear of god’...
