Do
you think it is the fault of current leaders, that they are
pusillanimous? You are wanting conviction politicians, but The West has
lost its integrity, its values, its way. It's more likely the system and
democracy and the freedom of the individual.First, just try
to compare where we were, say after the last war, when the international
community had an agreed set of rules, a community of member nation
states, the organisations to run those rules, and the confidence,
resources and power to do so;compare that with today.Look
at the path...

THAI GOVT : CHANGE OR BE CHANGED
Flying into Thailand, with a negative test result, fully vaccinated, identify where you are staying. That would work.There's a network effect here. The more tourists fly in, the more shops and places of entertainment can open. You could be looking at 1.5 million.As it is, health insurance could run to 1 or 2 thousand dollars plus you'd waste a couple of weeks in a place where you don't want to be.Then the vaccination program is so hopelessly organised that there are 20 thousand new infections à day and 200 deaths making you unwelcome...
AFGHANISTAN THE AFTERMATH
We shouldnt have to go through the arguments again, but here goes. America and NATO went in because Afghanistan refused to hand over OBL zfter 9/11.
It was for the security of The West. Also the American policy of what's
called nation-building - build a new democratic country because
democracies don't fight each other, they trade and prosper. (That is not
flavour of the month as culture trumps politics and economy).The reason for staying is still security. And can add in, keeping China bottled up a little longer.It
was a stupid...

AFGHANISTAN, THE AMERICAN WITHDRAWAL
Day 2 today. Just to underline the obvious:
The
goal, complete withdrawal, was the opposite of what The West needs,
which is to contain islamic extremism and bottle up China.The guy was advised of this but ignored as cannot listen or understand.His
intelligence was completely wrong: Biden believed the Taliban would not
be in a position to mount a blitzkrieg return and said so.Planning
and timing was zero: for example, why withdraw...

AFGHANISTAN RETREAT
Pakistan is the instigator. It is a
rerun of the Kashmir problem. It is the Pakistan-India conflict, going
back to 1947. The Taliban are just a tool of Pakistan. That is the Indian embassy in Kabul.NATO should have had it out with Pakistan long ago. Still could. But Pakistan and India both have the bomb.Most
unwise to withdraw without having turned off the lights and shut
firmly closed the door that let Pakistani into Afghanistan.Now...
ARE THE SNP WINNING?
The SNP is currently trying to form a minority government, that's a minority government. That shouldn't need explaining. The SNP did not win the referendum on independence, because more Scots voted against than for.The SNP currently hold 30 seats with less than a 10% margin, 13 of those below 5% and two less than 1%.The SNP has never won the popular vote in Scotland. The SNP consistently garners less votes than are given to Unionist parties. As you can see, Scotland does not love the SNP. &nb...
THE FUTURE OF FREEDOM
Covid means cashless and digital currency will give governments complete control over their people.Banks won't be needed.
Central
banks are not (not) independent. Governments get funding from their CB
without bothering to go through secondary markets - just increase the
money supply and transfer.
Digital currencies connect digitally.Digital currencies will make
social credit systems a snip. People will lose...

WE WANT SCOTLAND IN
A task force to regenerate the economy. From the Firth of Forth to
the East coast, a green port in a zone with no customs duties and low
regulations.In parallel, a task force to regenerate the health. The Catholic West is in a mess. Start with drugs.Make Scotland great again. Restore confidence and pride. Upskill. Inclusive growth. A net zero economy. Olympic games.We all want Scotland in for geographical completeness, "better together". But not dependent.====The SNP is currently trying to form a minority government, that's a minority government. ...
MAKE SCOTLAND GREAT AGAIN
How to MAKE SCOTLAND GREAT AGAIN?
The government (the UK
government, of course) needs an investment plan to regenerate the
economy and a health plan for the people.China would run its belt
and road into the Firth of Forth and Edinburgh airport, given half a
chance. And that is a good place to start.
Nicola is right to
volte farce on fossil fuels. Areas For the Regeneration of Scottish
Equity could be created, with no customs...

STILL WE DONT KNOW WHERE THE VIRUS CAME FROM
There may be a connection between the Wuhan lab and the origin of the virus, but the world doesn't know, not as yet....
One theory is that the virus, which occurs naturally in bats and pangolins, escaped accidentally from the Wuhan research facility because of poor safety protocols.
After all, the Wuhan Institute of Virology studies coronaviruses in bats, that is one of its jobs. And it is right next to where some...

MY HEROES
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/Ron Popeil
I've a weakness for smooth talkers, flash harry types ... Arthur Daley, Nigel Farrage, Billy Graham, Max Miller a real favourite ... but wait, there's more ... what is it about them ?
What I really wanted to do in life was sell plates or sets of knives off the back of a lorry down the markets in East London.
Put away...
