with the Cuba crisis Russia won that power play though media etc were tall it had backed down. Russia and USA  made a deal. ( only just coming to light ) so USA could save face.

while we  may have psychopath running N Korea. we  can’t compare with Trump. yes . he can act oddly and is  far more self centred and outspoken than  his former leaders. he  has a full range of level headed staff around him whom for example won’t simply sit back and allow him to ‘push’ a nuclear button on a whim.

much of this is sabre rattling. the only worry here is if the Korean nutter fail to listen to China and russia giving direction and thinks  he can actually take on ( at the moment)  worlds leading  military  power and live!

so rest easy, odds are very unlikey usa will cause  any heavy reaction even if its warships are attacked by Korea . probably a  dozen or so cruise missiles in return  to  let him know he can’t  throw his dummy into USA playground without rebuke.  on Koreas  part despite  what appears to be  full obedience to his every whim by his military .. there will be increasing worry for him that if he pushes too far  ..his own staff may take him out. thus nullifying risks to selves and families  etc. wonder if He has food tasters  in place as well as body guards ?

still  an issue .  we have made a democratic  decision and  we will be made to suffer for it ( EU has openly said  so ) however already  we have  back peddling  by government  e.g.  immigration  not to be restricted for at least  5 years. all ongoing EU rules etc to be adopted  and so on.   we have to start  wondering if  with new government in few  years time . no real changes to immigration control etc  another referendum will be held .  having suffered badly by leaving  made to go cap in hand to EU asking to rejoin?         thus  allowing EU to say it was right all along and remainers  pushing  leaving  voters to  set aside  any thought of self  governance  or independence  as economic  needs outweigh  sovereignty  and desire for  freedom etc.   one   tries not  to be cynical  but wonder if  government  is quietly  paving way  for UK  ltd  to fail  after leaving  in order to do vote  right way?  after all didn’t we see Ireland having to vote again and again until it voted ‘ correctly’.

dogs can become part of family to a surprising degree.  we lost ours and  there is a huge vacuum at first.  many pictures that show her enjoying life .  we keep her in our memories and hearts.   sorry for your loss.  those whom do not have loving pets  will not understand. its  a bit like not understanding  relationship and affection  if not a parent.

this is an emotional issue as well as  an economic one.  I know  many people whom work in NHS.  well aware of scams  to get free treatment  and fast tracking ( yes it goes on but is  hidden and denied at  all stages  with collusion of those working in service)  UK always has and would never refuse to treat  an emergency regardless of country of origin.  disagree  those with higher incomes ought to have to pay as  already paying via  %  in taxes . unreasonable to pay twice.  many in NHS  do not want to get involved in checking funds  etc from users. we are at a critical stage where NHS is  virtually  bankrupt  and needs all the  funding it can get. Have had treatment abroad and so have many I know. In every case EU card.insuarnce etc was checked BEFORE  offering  even a sticking plaster. plus having to pay for drugs and other bits after leaving  the hospital or clinic.  So  we  are only in fact  trying to do as other countries do. sadly  our  generous ( and often stupid) way of throwing money at others like confetti is not helping those here whom  are paying for it all.   bottom line is  we need urgently to stop fraud  and  thus  added burden  on NHS.   those whom  disagree  are often well meaning  and charitable  ( as we can see  from billions we  give away every year overseas ) but  either naive or unaware  the staggering  level of abuse. even the minister  running it says the amount is a drop in  ocean against full  cost of  NHS .ignoring at highest level the fact that at least an estimated £50.000.000  a year  is being  spent and unrecovered. simple checks  and  costs  for illegal  or non payment of treatment  ought to be levelled as  a  tax on incoming tourists  e.g. £1  for every visitor.  tax   to be paid  before entering UK . if you think thats unfair ..try leaving Thailand without paying the  leaving tax! ( yes you have to pay a fee to leave)  some countries are famous for non payment and even have classes  to tach you how to claim and get free treatment when arriving in UK . try visiting London  hospitals free emergency treatment for  toothache.  It looked ( I stand to be corrected) like I was the only UK resident person  there and yet everybody was getting ‘free’ treatment.  I think we need to  start  having to pay when we enter ( emergency  aside) and reclaim  costs. thus ensuring NHS   gets cash in tills.

don’t have a problem with court  having  to rule. after all its  basis of our laws.  I do note that she  has openly said it  will be retorts for her. Like richard branson and T blair ,  putting up money and pushing to  drop brexit. ( very anti democratic)  while remainers may see her as  triumphant heroine .  note peter mandelson whom has a rather suspect past here ( can’t make allegations ) has bene awarded legion  De Honor  from France.  for services to EU.       we all have  different  views of leaving or  staying. latest  news is that  it will no be a gradual  leaving with EU laws etc  taking precedence  for at least 5 years  after we technically leave(  or  are we in fact staying but just saying we left?)   given  rest of EU  has  stated  we will be heavily punished for daring to leave and  face 50-60 billion  euro bill for doing so.   we have to look at  long term. most banks  . politicians etc  were saying UK  would  be on knees  and  tend of thousands of jobs  lost. currently even bank of England is having to eat humble pie.   some  media sources  are  know as pro EU  so biased  reporting.   stop attacking each other as we live here and need to work with each other t make UK a success. it is  after in in our  own interests to do so.  lets hope we  get past the back stabbing stage and  can work  with other  countries to pursue a meaningful and worthy future  with each other.  last point .  main thrust of leaving was to regain  sovereig rule over  selves and  stop mass immigration . already we have agreed to allow hundred of thousands of immigrants in over next  5 years.  so  remainers  are effectively winning it seems.

  you will find  in any chat room a few  whom get  nasty to others .often without reason.  this is same as bullies  do .picking on somebody to reinforce  selves but well known in psychology as over compensation. in short in real world they are nothing and get ignored so get angry and lash out etc at others   to be ‘noticed’             bit like graffiti artists , needing to be noticed. more you feed them  or react then more they feel  empowered and carry on  . often desperate  to upset a person to get a reaction.  better to ignore  and eventually evene the most  stupid and stubborn one  gets bored and wanders off.

concrete bollards  would not stop a juggernaut nor would stingers though they would slow it down.  there are metal  bollards  designed to  stop  virtually a tank .they rise up from ground.  they already use these around world and  can definitely stop a 40 ton loaded lorry  at 60mph. true it writes off bollard but  vehicle itself is  reduced to scrap within 15-20 feet.

no easy answer to  terrorists as its  a religious thing. sadly here in UK  this  actual religion is treated  with kid gloves as fear of escalation and violence  etc from them.  with  Islam dedicated to world domination  one religion and  reward  here or in heaven  ..we  have as about as much chance of getting full integration as  UK landing on moon.  shame as Islam  name itself  means ‘peace’ but every example seem sot  be exact opposite.  we need more muslims to speak out against the perverted ones whom seek  to bring us into direct  conflict with Islam ( the main goal as always ) with  extremely poor immigration controls and as much effect on small  ports and airfield s as sieve we are wide open  for abuse.

shame such political correctness is  failing to address they  actual concept  by  setting aside tradition and culture that may cause offence . the ideas behind such actions can be  from well meaning and worthy desires to  allow all to  live  happily side by side in a ‘perfect world’ .sadly they  do not allow all inclusiveness they they are trying to achieve as they sideline they very  citizens they want to integrate with the  incoming newcomers etc.     I  and many I know are offended by the full face covering with just eye  slits but our feelings are considered racist and xenophobic etc  as brushed aside. no comment or views allowed without penalty etc . its not  majority of voters joining our  country or community that are all not integrating but the natural  state  of play where  all enclaves the attract  more of same ilk are when at a strong local stage ( even national)  getting organised to push own  culture and agenda.  this gets  political  backing  past point of logic  and reason by overriding such  traditions and culture as exist.  I can fully understand why some things   are  now considered to cause offence and outlawed etc  ( Golliwogs  for example)  as they do cause offence and we can see both sides of  viewpoints.  however we see increasing  case of  british values being set aside  to accommodate   others whom hold little or no regard  for the very  country they are fortunate enough to reside in.  Sharia law  areas have been set up .  Police have to refer offenders to these and not our local  courts etc   mandatory consolations with ‘community leaders’.   a polite word for immigrant  enclaves .  there is not enough balance  and open discussion  with  such groups  so integration is  and will fail.  Islam  for example  is supposed to mean ‘peace; but it can be hard to get a single example of this but many many example of opposite . we  respect females here but others treat them as objects.  for example Uk  allows  others to have more than one wife  as its  religion and tradition ( even though not ours and we  find that offensive) . we even PAY benefits to  ALL the wives.  yet they  in many case despise our  attitudes and  religions. the world is going to change in next decade or so and  it won’t  be for benefit of   residents  whom were brought up  to encompass  all walks of life and all cultures when one  group is not willing to do so and is getting premium treatment above residents wishes.aspirations etc . even this mailing will be subject  review  and removal if it causes ‘offence;.

procrastination is a habit as well as detrimental  to our lives.  now if only I had done what I set out to do the other week..

try  setting oneself a task when  we aware we putting things off. then the task being to do  that and one other chore before relaxing.  with practise we can break the chain and begin to do things a they  become due rather than putting them aside until..
