'via Blog this'TELEGRAPHED PUNCHES.
When last was the world in the mess it is in today ? Despite that here the sun is shining the news reported in todays Sunday Telegraph seems depressing.
Page 1/4 Mystery Virus kills thousands of lambs.
Did I hear of that on Farming today, must have missed it.
Doctors to vote on Industrial Action, fair enough but I am told Doctors don’t strike.
Labour’s failing leadership by Charles Clarke. Don’t see that to be a news item worthy of the front page
Page 5 Lansley snubbed by Tories 301 group. Alas know not which the forty supportive Mps who wrote to the telegraph are, because I couldn’t find the letter. However surely Government might better be advised by the Medical Professions than by a clutch of recently elected Members.
Page 7 Concerns one David Jones who made a quip at the Security gates of Gatwick Airport. That allegedly caused him to detained . One wonders what sort of blinking idiots have charge of our borders. If its difficult to recruit persons with their wits about them. Maybe there are jobs available there for unemployed Graduates. .( see Page 14)
Page 10. Refers to Cabinet clashs over Council Tax Bands. That’s good news, because the whole Council Tax system needs to be pruned Root and Branch, for it is iniquitous.
Page11. Tells of a School Master complaining of his three years of hell over abuse claims, made by a Teaching Assistant , whom the GTC thought to be ‘not an entirely independent and objective witness’. I wouldn’t know anything about this case, however one all too often hears of similar allegations being made with impunity. Heads should roll.
Page 11 Did UK play secret roll in renditions? There is a surprise that anyone should suggest such a thing.
Page 14. Tells of ‘tiny band of Left Radicals bringing Jobs Policy to its knees.’ That’s a good thing , providing Mickey Mouse Jobs, for those with Mickey Mouse University degrees is no answer to the inadequacies of Government. Get a skill and find a job. that need doing.
Page 15 Inbreeding of Dogs. Clearly it shouldn’t be allowed, so why is it ?
Page 18. Tells of a soldier’s Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. One doesn’t need to join the army to empathise.
Committee of Members of Parliament have concluded that the Rights of Christians are place below those of Homosexuals. Is it not the business of MP.s to establish a level playing field ? What are they going to do about it, presuming they object to what they consider to be a fact? Surely doing something about it is what we pay them for.
Page 19. Tells of Britain’s Crime hot spots. Well how about recruiting those persons referred to as needing work experience (Page 14) to Police the areas specified. I believe the young in France have to do some form of National Service, including Police Work.
Page 20. Concerns reform of the House of Lords. Is it any sort of surprise that those who sit in the Lords have no wish to see reforms that will deprive them of their Sinecures. If the Lords was a Parish Council, its members wouldn’t either sit in on a relevant debate ,or vote on its outcome. Would you expect Turkeys to vote for Christmas? As for the persisting Hereditary Peers which one may wonder their qualification to govern , especially those whose ancestors were ennobled for services rendered the wrong side of the blanket. One might as well gift me a seat in the Upper House on the basis that I like countless others of my distaff Heredity descend from Edmund of Woodstock one of Edward the First’s two sons, and from all who went before them. What of the millions of others with not dissimilar Ancestry. Enough is enough,
Page 22. Concerns Syria, least said of that debacle the better, but do we have to react in such a gormless manner to the Murder of British Citizens.
Page 24. Includes much hypocrisy.
Page 26. Expands on Charles Clarke of ‘page 1 fame.’ Haven’t read it but should it be a statement of regrets on the road to Damascus, pity he didn’t take the road much earlier.
Thus the paper goes on and on, and none of us can do anything about the mess politicians have lead our country into.
THE MOST SICK MAKING THING OF THIS PAST WEEK WAS THE EXTRADITION OF Mr. TAPPIN TO AMERICA. PRIME MINISTER CAMERON SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIS PERFORMANCE. THOSE OF US WHO VOTED FOR HIS PARTY EXPECTED A LOT BETTER. ONE MAY WONDER AT THE SPINELESSNESS OF OUR GOVERNMENT, AND TOO WONDER IF THERE IS ANYTHING IT HASN’T MESSED UP SINCE COMING TO POWER, LET ALONE ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING.
‘IN THE NAME OF GOD GO.’
