Now as a person living in rip-off Britain,why am I so bothered about Zimbabwe?Well firstly,it's all the talk and no action of basically the so called free world for weeks there have been murders and wide spread intimidation of any one suspected of god forbid voting against mgabe.Not only has mgabe broken his own constitution he has used violence and threats toget himself elected past the 30 days it says in his own laws.So he has not only broken his own laws he has broken humanitarian law,you cannot starve beat and murder and get away with it,so why i mgabe allowed last month to Rome for a meeting about food/aid etc,when he has done more than anybody to starve his own people into submission,I just don't get it,why wasn't he arrested as soon as he touched down in europe?He is a genocidal sociopath who is all smiles but is killing his way to an election victory.Not only that he also displaces people suspected of voting for the opposition so they can't vote.
What does the UN do? has talks about talking about what they may do after the talks,yes the situation has been getting bad for months and only now do we have talks to find out what the talking may do in the way of things they have yet to talk about,sounds like another darfur and thats been going on for years the genocide plus the UN talking about it.In South Africa tarbo umbeki has started to realise he has to say something but like the UN it's only talk,and my one really sad thing is Nelson Mandela is eerily quiet,now i watched the live TV pictures as he was released and i had a party and i brought free Nelson Mandela by the specials and i even fund raised to help free him,i think next to malcolm x,marcus garvey,Martin Luther King Jr and muhammed ali he is a great man but he is a mgabe apoloist and as such must hang his head in shame.And it really hurts me to say that,but truth is truth,i would say that if Nelson Mandela said something against murdering mgabe even he might listen.
I understand Zimbabwe was a British ran country and i know there were a lot of white farmers but after 4 or 5 generations there aren't white or black zimbabweans there are only zimbabweans.Zimbabwe was once the bread basket of Africa now it can't even feed it's own people.Mgabe got rid of all the white farmers the same way he's getting rid of the opposition,murder, intimidation that time it was pure racism this time it's because people voted against him,which is a democratic right in most countries.

another day another flood
@ 2007-07-23 – 12:21:18
2 months rain fell in a matter of hours and the midlands are in Chaos,live on a flood plain or near a river thats what happens!!!When i looked into where i was going to buy a house i didn't bother with the cottage by the river i brought the one that has never a chance of flooding,i may die of boredom but not drowning.No doubt Gordon Brownstuffs Government will have to tax us more to pay for flood defences,just dress it up in Green clothes spin it a bit call it a Green tax and we'll all fall for it,pay up go to gig called flood aid..live earth...make poverty history....that all sound great but in the end makes you feel good for a couple of hours but in the end does nothing.It's like Carbon off-setting great concept but look deeply into what it actually does does it plant trees sometimes but who gets the money?the government.It's like road tax you think it goes into the road builing budget so how come the roads are so bad and get washed away so easily?
I watched an horizon Programme in 1995 that said Global warming would make Britain wetter and prone to weather damage and flooding .12 years ago we knew this could happen and it has.£20million was spent on flood defences for Cheltenham,that don't work.The poblem with Britain is incompetance and hypocracy from our own Government where no body is to blame for any thing except the tories and everything before 1997.Now people are blaming people block paving gardens for the flooding no it's called rain and it falls from the sky.No doubt the real problem was the tory policy of losing the election in 1997 which led to a rise in politicians hot air a led to global warming.Even now the Government has said it will build on flood plains how intelligent i think we are part of a genetic experiment to see how many generations it will take us to get webbed feet and start quacking.
still the calos tevez tranfer debacle continues how did West Scam united get away wity just a fine?Chelsea only won 1-0 against L.A. whatever pub team only 1-0 too many parties not enough training.Ljunberg to West Scam United at least Arsenal can sell him,he is passed his best but he'll do ok at the scammers -
Another white wash and hypocracy from old Labour
@ 2007-07-20 – 10:40:50
Another day another white wash this time it's the cash for ermine scandal for which no one is to blame it reminds me of the Carlos Tevez transfer debacle,If west ham own Tevez How come they can't sell him?like the cash for ermine scandal it smells like a barrel of rotting fish!Not only that crime is down,really so how come the prisons are full to bursting and more need building Call me stupid but wouldn't prisons be emptying if there was less crime?You see New Labour sound great but as all politicians promises they are empty words which with a bit of spin can be made to say anything you like ,labour are just hypocrites and the conservatives are no better.The NHS has more nurses than ever before,but when a hospital is say £10million in debt who gets sacked incompetant managers no,the minister responsible no,600 nurses a third of the workforce,yes and this is happening all over the NHS.Politicians have a brilliant pay rise the nurses get 2% to be phased in over 12 months,sounds a bit arse backwards to me.I know a teacher who sent in her SATS results to the education board and they came back altered to show some children marked up so as not to show the figures in a different way to what the government says they are.My daughter is training to be a nurse,she got a letter saying how to answer a questionaire that was to be sent out with the answers they deemed suitable,they were told if anyone talked about the contents ofthis letter or answered differently to what was in the letter ,they would not be taught and be down marked,again to fit in with government spin.Two examples of how the figures look good but are in fact not a true reflection of reality.
A bit like going to war against Iraq because of the weapons of mass deception,when really it's all about oil,I know the spin says it isn't ,how many iraqi oil firms are in charge of Iraqi oil?I will tell you the major oil players in Iraq are from the U.S and europe look it up on the net it's true.So saddam hussein was killed because of Halabjah the gassing of kurds,he was killed because his regime killed a couple of hundred prisoners,don't get me wrong he was a twisted blood thirsty tyrant.But the U.S and Europe did nothing while he was fighting Iran they sold him arms .The gas that was used on Halabjah was made with German technology to an American gas 'recipe'perhaps when it was used against Iran it was ok.If all along regime change is exceptible how come Robert Mgabe is still allowed to kill and starve his people,no oil.N.Korea ,no oil.And the most shameful genocide in many years DarFur,this has claimed millions of lives and has been going on for years all the world does is watch the killing say how terrible it is and do nothing,oh yes no oil.All the U.S does is feed the victims after the rest of their family has been masacred.The only shining light is the Actor George Clooney who tirelessly won't let the world forget,he gives me faith that America and it's people do care and are not just inward looking all the time,to George and all the other darfur activists thank you.
Now to another passion of mine football and a pet hate.Diving called by FIFA 'Simulation',cheatings a word I would prefer.My team is Coventry City ,the pain is terrible to bear.I wantched the Copa America,Columbia was the worst team for diving I have ever seen the whole team just dived all game.In the championship i've seen great divers,Kamara for West Brummie Albion was really bad as was Chopra even nugent couldn't help himself but no way was bad As Drogba,J.Cole,ash.hole,terry and lampard i see a theme here.Even for England joe cole shamelessly dives and if you can't see it take those blue and rose tinted glasses off.Another season is upon us we have signed some good players only time will tell how good they are.It's a shame to see Henry go but things change perhaps chelski will stop simulating and play real football...Come on you Sky Blues...and good luck Sunderland i hope you survive in the premiership.Finally if the Premiership is the best league inthe world.Did an English club win the Champions League?When was the last time England won the world cup?and why when Arsene Wenger buys foreign players everyone says it's the end of football but the only club to buy consistently English players is Sunderland.Martin Jol after slating Wenger for buying foreign players does exactly that the truth is you buy the best players and i'm sorry to say the best players aren't always English,the best player I have seen this year so far apart from malouda is Benitez he plays for Ecuador and is a fantastic player ok messi is a great player but not consistent enough against tough opposition.I'm off now to buy my friendly tickets Espanyol,Udinese.we play well against tough opposition we beat celtic 3-1 and only lost to Boa Vista by one goal,i'm sure they will be good games.One more thing so it's ok for young politicians to smoke dope and get drunk,but when they get in power,it's wrong for everyone else to do it,it's called hypocracy brought to you by Blue Labour soon to be agreed upon by the red conservatives lets face it whats the difference between labour and the conservatives...nothing really they both.....lie...sorry spin -
NHS
@ 2006-03-23 – 09:24:16
The NHS will have more managers then beds soon.In a Week that see's 2,000 nurses made redundant.Gordon Brown says everything is rosy in this utopia of ours.The truth is waiting times are down but the flip side is redundancies some local hospitals will have to close services moved the ambulance service centrallized.The thing is every labour politician says everything is better but if you say something often enough people start to believe so until you actually need to use a service you don't know how good it is or isn't.A little anecdote for you...an anecdote is reality..in politik speak it means the opposite....it is in a different sphere but will illustrate my point...My daughter was on a bus when 4 drunken men approached her and a friend offered them drugs for sex and touched them as they got off the bus...we went to our new shiny police station to report it it was closed....we had to drive 8 miles to report it..and even then it seemed a chore...we tried to ring and find the progress of the investigation...we couldn't get the number of our local police station...the main switch board wouldn't give us the number...to cut a long story short you can drink and take drugs on a bus try it on with under-age girls...actually touch them...and a crime hasn't been committed....one WPC actually thought we were wasting police time.The one time i need the police..i am wasting my time.like the NHS everyone tells me it's fantastic but i don't actually know if i can use the manger as a bed on if all the proper beds run out?

Well Gordon Brown's 10th Budget,How exciting.He promises more money to the NHS in a week when 2,000 Nurses made redundant from 7 Hospitals to cut costs another brainwave is to treat a lot of conditions at home which sounds good everything politicians say always sound good until they don't actually work or even happen,for instance two services of my local hospital have been moved 5 miles down the road ok for me i've got a car but this hospital has a 20 mile radius a lot of it rural a bus ride to the new departments could take 3 hours hope the accident you have doesn't involve getting to hospital quickly as the ambulance service is re-locating too.Another thing the Road tax on two environmentally good cars is free,the trouble is one is a honda that isn't even sold here the other a smart diesel yes you guessed it,it isn't sold here it's like informing people they don't have to pay tax on uss enterprise and red dwarf thanks Gordon, that really helps.Another Government Brainwave because of congestion we only need to car share and cartopia will be achieved on it's own it will never work,but hey it doesn't cost the government a penny and shifts blame onto the driver,I don't think i've ever seen tony blair share his 5 litre jag with any one.
The poblem with our political parties are Labour sound like Conservatives,The Conservatives sound like Labour,The Liberal democrats aren't very liberal but seem to like democracy but all are funded by secret loans...oh sorry someone found out about how corrupt this is and they aren't secret anymore well only labour have admitted who gives them money.The Conservatives won't and the Liberals are suspiciously silent,the only people making a song and dance are the welsh and scottish who must be laughing with sides splitting.To be quite honest politicians and politics stink.As the founder of Capita resigns over the cash for honours row won't go away,Funny Capita give money to labour party then get a lot of high profile government contracts their is no conincidence is there?And tessa jowells husband gets caught lying alledgedly and taking a bribe that pays off a £300,000 mortgage off in weeks and nothing seems strange a person who at the first sign of trouble leaves her husband cannot be trusted in office just as marriage vows mean nothing how can promises to voters be trusted.We need new politicians a new party....call it the peoples party funded by donations by the people ,normal people not big business a party run by all the citizens of this country who all have a part because at the moment all we have is sleaze and policies made on the hoof that sound great but actually deliver very little if anything.Labour are just like the Conservatives morally bankrupt they sound so alike they should merge and be called the labourtives or the conbour party a new motif would be the £ sign or the champagne glass.Because at the moment politicians have ther highest wage rises the best pensions they are also so morally bankrupt,will it ever change i doubt it. -
The Zen of Coventry City FC
@ 2005-10-14 – 22:22:17
I unfortunately am a fan of Coventry city Football club,which can be very frustrating as we lose to all the lets face it,crap teams,and win all the so called good teams,and as the crap teams out number the good teams we are in trouble.And yes this i knew last year so why did I buy a season ticket,the only sane answer is it's a man thing or my Football Gene is switched to ON,so you see it's not really my fault.But this week Coventry City signed 3 new players,well OK Coventry have no money so we have to make with free signings and loan players which means we have a high turn over of some good players,We had Suffo a great looking player strong,until he had to go past a player,which he rarely did,he was rubbish,Stern John was really really rubbish.It's really weird all our Crap players always play well 1.Against us 2.When they leave.Like Gudjohnson he was great until we brought him,then he was rubbish.When we get a good player,Hartson,Keane,Huckerby,Davenport etc we sell them and wonder why we struggle.Calum Davenport was a great player for Coventry we sold him to Totenham for i think £100,000 and a curly whirly,2 hours before the deadline closed so we couldn't buy a player but for £100,000 you could afford a players car,just,not a player.Then he was loaned out first to West Ham my God have mercy on his soul,then Southampton which is ok i like Harry Redknapp.So basically Coventry City has no money to spend but getting back to our new players 1.Youssef Sofiane he's a 21 year old mid-fielder who was born in Lyon and played for Auxerre,Lille,Notts Co.Roda JC and West ham.I watch a lot of French football,bloody genes,My favourite French team is St Etienne,they are playing well this year.2.Bas Savage a 23 year old Forward who played for Reading 3.Lilian Nalis a 34 year-old French midfielder who has played for Chievo,Leicester and Sheffield Utd and now on loan at Coventry for a month,they sound OK lets hope they are.Our team at the moment is OK but limited in most positions.Enough of football,already.Well ok one more thing England got beaten by N.Ireland,and topped an easy group,we beat Poland who played absolutely rubbish for 80% of the game and we will win the world cup,I'll have some of what they're on.It's good stuff.My interests are very eclectic i like most music apart from Opera and classical.I read very widely about loads of subjects.Religion,mmmmm,prove it.I have been a soldier,mechanic,chef and a lot of things in between.At the moment I have Muscular Dystrophy a mild form which is why i'm still here talking to you.My life has been two distinct periods my non-disabled life and my disabled life which gives me a duality of views.I was going to be a soldier forever,just never worked out as planned but i watched my kids grow i was the water that made them grow,well ok my partner was the fertilizer who made them grow quicker,but i'm a plodder i get there eventually.I've been a Rockabilly,Punk,Ska-ite,pre-rap-alite,and a rap-alite and now my favourite artist is Paul Weller who i'm going to see next month,can't wait the last time i saw Paul Weller was when i saw the Jam in 1978,great gig.I also saw the Sex Pistols in 1977 thought they were crap but on reflection they were OK i preferred the Damned.but after all a punk is a punk unless you're toyah wilcox of course.Thats it for my first Blog entry i like video games mainly strategy games as well as chess,backgammon etc.I'm like most people and life in general very complex without having a complex,after all,what is left,just dirty Skeletons.were do WE go?Heaven,hell,nowhere or everywhere?what was before the big bang?steady state,waves,nothing....what.Can a whole universe just happen?and if so how?and why?hey i don't give a toss i'm going to see Paul Weller and more immediately i need a beer a game of fifa 2005 on my X-box and City to win tomorrow we've got Crystal Palace,a good team,so we should win i'd be worrying if they were crap as we'd have no chance.see ya later...come on you Sky Blues.Finally if the universe started from nothing...wow....that was some bang!!!!
