Miserable May

Well, just six weeks or so on from my first whinge here and many of our politicians can now be seen to have had their snouts in the trough for years.

How can somebody claim mortgage expenses for 18 months after they had, presumably, paid off the loan without realising it? Why should Mr Silly Sod the British Taxpayer stump up £2,600 so Shaid Malik can have a giant TV and home cinema system or McKay and McBride make twin claims? Hazel Drears claiming on three different properties in one year and trying to dodge CGT? 'Flipping', moat cleaning, private security, doing up your house on the taxpayer! It truly is mind-boggling..

I suspect that British pigs are feeling pretty fed up at the company we are accusing them of keeping..

Perhaps every MP should face a reselection meeting before the next (and very overdue..) general election..

And then there's the Labour peers on the take? The House of Lords that ZANU Labour is so keen to reform!

Rant over - almost..

I look forward (with a wry smile..) to the annual cringefest that is the Eurovision Song Contest, taking place this weekend in Moscow because the USSR hasn't really gone away.

I shall miss the cynical old Irishman - had the world-weary cynicism becme part of the act? - and am resigned to listening to that tedious little Irish prat who is probably the most irritating twerp on the telly..

Ah well..

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...

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 ...

Time to challenge RSPCA vigilantes..

Mrs Ann Barnes Police and Crime Commissioner Kent Police Force Headquarters Sutton Road Maidstone Kent ME15 9BZ 15/ 8/ 2013 cc: Ian Learmonth – Chief Constable cc: Beverley Newman – Head of Legal Services Dear Mrs Barnes Information Sharing Agreements with RSPCA I understand from media reports that Kent is one of a number of UK police forces that has signed an information sharing agreement with the RSPCA. I should like to express my very serious concerns that an organisation, which is not an official prosecution authority and is only able to bring private prosecutions over instances of animal cruelty, should have access to a vast range of personal information about individuals. This, I understand, includes information about age, employment, home address and details of parents as well as details of a person’s vehicle(s), police history and details of any firearms licensing. I believe there is no legal basis whatsoever for providi...
