And so it goes...this is my final blog of 2019. A year of consistent achievement,innovation and progress seen on my many fronts -some personal,some of wider significance.And at the centre of them all,Wakefield. Google #WakeyLit19 ,checkout all 3 of the articles published by Wakefield Express , go to the #WakeyLit19 facebook page. As a pioneering project on its first test run, it succeeded in proving that its underlying ethos and theory works. Mary Creagh back in May 2019 however wanted nothing to with it.This from her email to me :- "I must admit I felt some surprise when I received your email, given you have made several negative comments about me on Twitter and Facebook. I attach a couple of these but, as we know, there are many more. I hope you understand my apprehension about your request following your comments on social media. Using language like ‘traitor’ ‘shill’ and ‘paranoid delusions’ to attack me on a personal level makes it difficult for us to work together co...

Well,that's one great big effing surprise if there ever was one!! A 70+ seats overall majority and Labour's worst result since 1935. Considering that my own best guesses were centred around a small Tory majority or essentially a hung parliament - you can never be too pessimistic when it comes to Election outcomes ;after all where would the overwhelming joy & mood of celebration be in the wake of a really great and unexpected triumph if  you had confidently predicted precisely that beforehand ? exactly; relief is part of joy,the thrill of the ride. There was also the added bonus,the doubleplusgood  frisson of Schadenfruede  :- # GeneralElection2019   # Wakefield   # MaryCreagh  It's carnage time at the twitter coliseum Steve McQueen announces "14 Years A Constituent" -follow-up to "12 Years A Slave".in which the ordinary folk of #Wakefield are liberated from their patronising metropolitan Labour Remoaner slave -vote owner #MaryCreagh in #Gener...

December 12 2019 :Polling Day seems to be a very long way off.And no doubt even as the days recede,they will actually get longer in the imagination. Boredom and disinterest work that way. It's still only November 9th and the imaginary cheque-book is getting some unprecedented hammer from Labour on 1,000 new " Sure Start " centres - the ones the war-mongering Blairite Regime introduced and the Anti-Labour Coalition of 2010 basically shut down. And not to be outdone the  former conservative Tories and the  former liberal LibDems have also been ripping it up in the fantasy-capitalist prosperity stakes.More doctors,Nurses,infrastructure,blah,blah blah.. Oh, and the Greens aka The Green party (aka the political wing of the Vegan Taliban aka Extinction rebellion eco-millenarian cultists) have come up with a Trillion pound ten year project to take the UK back to the feckin Stone Age by systematically cleansing these islands of all industry.The Greens aim to raise 90% of the...

A couple of days ago at RUSI aka the Royal United Services Institute, in a much trailed speech approved by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson , Chief of the General Staff,General Sir Nick Carter stirred the proverbial international diplomatic  merde. General Sir Nick Carter controversially claimed that Russian hostility could come sooner than expected and the UK must prepare to "fight the war we might have to fight". The bemedalled Carter further alleged that Russia was building an increasingly aggressive expeditionary force and the potential military threats to the UK "are now on Europe's doorstep". Carter claimed that the Kremlin already boasted an "eye-watering quantity of capability" - a level the UK would struggle to match with regard to  what he said was Russia's new cyber warfare capabilities as well as Russian long-range missile strike capability, which he said was demonstrated in Syria when 26 missiles were deployed from a 1,500km ...
