I see a couple of pigeons coming home to roost in today's news.

1  Boris challenged officially in court over some of the outrageous lies leading up to the Brexit referendum.

2 Boeing being told that FAA clearance of their bodged up 737max design would no longer be accepted in Europe, who will make their own assessment.

Both these give me some faith in natural justice eventually prevailing.

That statement of his about the amount of money the UK  are paying  ...was it every week ? ....  could well have swung the Brexit referendum  in their favour ...surely that would be a criminal act .

He could be the first Prime Minister taken to court for misleading the people. 

 
Listening to Enoch again , I'd forgotten what sense he generally spoke .      But  why not  I say ,  after all he is a Brummie .  

Couple of things he said :--

" History is littered with wars that everybody knew would never happen"  

And , not sure if he was a man of faith or not , this sounds like he was  :-- 

"  If my ship disappears from sight it doesn't mean I've gone ,   just that the river has a bend "  

 
Enoch makes brilliant speeches, wonderful to listen to. Have a look at the other video with Michael Foot in it. Another wonderful speaker. Compare them with the linguistically challenged lot we have today..

I don't see how they can make a legal case for this. Every politician is economical with the truth, what he said was correct, he just didn't mention how much we get back from the EU....  It seems people think they can make legal challenges to everything these days??? 

 
You will never get it back because of one person and despite another..

1, If Enoch had been listened to we would not have as the "foreigners" shall we say, complete with all their drugs, crime, lack of respect, and for some reason, quite beyond me, white kids wanting to impersonate them.

2, If that idiot Thatcher had not deliberately destroyed industry, think what a better country we would have...

All too late now i fear..

I was listening to one of the Tory senior types this morning on the news, still harping on about free-market economy and how we need it to save the country. Now I'm not totally against that, but as this fella was also in denial about the causes of poverty, the need for foodbanks for those in work etc etc, you have to wonder what planet he was on! We need business to earn a living, but, he seemed to think business would behave in a more altruistic way than it does to make us all better off, and shouldn't just be motivated by profit....  :shakehead

 
Is it only me who thinks we should just basically ignore today’s politicians and all that they speak? 

Poverty exists in every country in the world, yet there are many different economies and political systems throughout the world? So who creates poverty? In our country and those that are supposed to be developed nations then poverty should not exist but it does, why? Some people are in poverty purely through their own wrong choices, perhaps if people were to take a closer look at their own choices then they could quite easily not lead a life of poverty? 

Some people use the government as an excuse for their poverty— they don’t get given enough to live any other way — really then look at the choices and part you’ve played in your poverty life?

All of us are born equal and whilst it’s true that some have a tougher start in life, it doesn’t mean they have to continue living that life, they can take responsibility for their life and change the path it is taking. 

It amazes me at the way people think, just because someone says it’s going to be bad doesn’t mean it’s true yet the moment the words ‘economic disaster’, ‘financial crash’ and the like are spoken there’s a sudden fear that goes through the country, people start to behave differently, they worry about their finances, whether they’ll still have a job, etc and this is all before the ‘something’ has actually happened?? Well if people have that much faith (a belief in something that they can’t see or hasn’t happened) then perhaps they should use it for a more positive outcome?

perhaps they should focus their faith by saying  ‘I may not be in the place that I want to be but at least I’m working towards it’  great journeys always start with the smallest of steps.  

Sadly we focus too much on what someone else is saying or doing and don’t focus on what we are saying or doing and the reality is that someone more often than not is not going to do anything for you.

Great post !    

Yet some  are born more equal than others  .  

If you  watch the 7 up programme tonight  you'll see something  that stuck with me  from  when they were actually 7 .   The children are a mixture of classes , they are asked  what they'd like to do when grown up , I think a girl just wants to get married , one little lad wants to a jockey  (and he does)  one an astronaut  ,  then the posh one  says he reads the  Financial Times  and wants to be  an investor /director  ( can't remember exactly)  like his dad .     ( Not sure how he ended up  ,find out tonight )

I only went to a secondary modern school and  its easy to look back now and see that we were processed as factory fodder .   Remember that , like other cities, B,ham was a bustling , heaving , smoky  , bustling  industrial shyte heap   that made & produced  virtually everything you can think of.   ( City of  1000  trades )  if it was made of metal we made it .   But the education was aimed at filling the factory jobs so no languages say but full on maths, science , metalwork  & english   .
