Letter to my MP on the present #BrexitShambles..

"Dear Ms Whately
I don’t write often to my MP, but in view of the complete shambles that has become of the UK’s departure from the EU, I have to put ‘finger to keyboard’!
I believe very strongly that there now remains only one ‘Brexit’ option acceptable to the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU and that is for the UK to leave as soon as possible and deal on World Trade Organisation terms with the EU until new trade (and other) agreements can be made with it.
Whilst the EU has never truly negotiated with us in good faith - and our negotiating stance has been at best feeble - Parliament has repeatedly failed to make firm decisions on - or move towards - our departure and it is clear to most people that a great many MPs, not least a number of Conservatives including the Speaker, are trying very hard to prevent any meaningful Brexit at all.
Despite the protestations of the Remain camp, both sides and all voters knew exactly what they were voting for - one side viewed it as desirable, the other side as the dreadful risks of leaving!
Like 17.4 million others, I voted to leave the EU and all its institutions, to reassert the supremacy of the UK’s courts and Parliament, to be able to trade freely around the world and to 'manage our borders’ to best suit our immigration needs. Only a ‘clean break’ Brexit will do these things.
We must give notice to the EU that we will be leaving on our own terms, ask perhaps for a short extension period for both sides to make final preparations and then we must simply leave.
If Parliament continues trying to thwart the will of the majoriity, I think the two major parties will be punished at the next General Election and at any European elections in which we may have to take part. Furthermore, any betrayal of the Referendum decision will create social rifts and tensions and an anger that will dwarf anything we have seen in many decades.
Yours sincerely.."

HomeCare that doesn't care..

An example of truly dismal customer service..   Chris O’Shea Group Chief Executive Centrica plc Millstream Maidenhead Road Windsor SL4 5GD   13 th  February 2021     Dear Mr O’Shea   British Gas HomeCare – Agreement No. xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx   I am writing to you with regard to the service being provided by your British Gas HomeCare division.   We had a new boiler fitted by British Gas in 2001 and have paid for British Gas HomeCare to cover Central Heating, Plumbing and Drains and Home Electrical since then, without a break as far as I can recall. Currently we pay an annual subscription of £290.76 and an excess of £50 per visit for the security of knowing we will have a range of domestic breakdowns attended to promptly.   We have used the service a number of times and usually found response times, outcomes and the professionalism of your personnel to be satisfactory or better. We have recommended the service to friends and relatives.   On Janu...

July's Merchant Bankers..

The start of July sees GOM marginally more irritated than usual - if such a thing is possible - as summer tends to bring society's most aggravating merchant bankers out from under their decking... The short daily walk to and from school with the children provides the perfect opportunity to view an abundance of prats at close quarter. Leading the field are the cretins who cannot walk the three hundred meters to the school and have no option but to park their Freelander two hundred meters from school, doing their best to create a local mini-gridlock. This group is closely followed by the drivers who feel that the pavement, despite being used by schoolkids and parents, is a useful route to take when the inevitable daily traffic snarl-ups start. Of course the hot weather can wreak havoc on women who have had to spend all day drinking coffee and blathering, going to the gym to drink coffee and blather and otherwise doing bugger all. Sensible, therefore, that once they have bagged a prim...

The 48-hour Twitter walkout..

Whilst making the most of forty-eight Twitter-free hours - actually, I (temporarily) deactivated my account on Sunday evening - I’ve realised there’s no outlet for intemperate rants about the endless succession of bloody irritating, if not infuriating, stories in the news, not least courtesy of the official state broadcaster, the (#DefundThe..) BBC. So, methinks, let’s update the blog! Delighted to see that ‘Sir’ – I do hope that boat has sailed! – Lewis Hamilton has decided to add being an ‘anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist’ to his portfolio of achievements, alongside race-baiting supporter of the anarcho-Marxist BLM organization. He may have deleted the message saying he hadn’t read the material, so he’s either a dolt or simply got caught being a pillock! And, regards ‘taking it up the ‘knee’’, our Lewis’ll be making damn sure that the half dozen F1 drivers who ARE standing up against compulsory breast-beating and the wearing of hair-shirts get as much negative exposure as he ...
