Clarence: Lies and Statistics

So the pensioners are going to get a rise of double the winter fuel allowance? But aren’t they subject to inflation the same as anyone else? If the price of fuel goes up again, what with all the wars and so on, will just over £8 a week save them? My favourite biscuits have justContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Lies and Statistics”

All Unkindness

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? From something as small as a cutting remark, going up to disinterest in the needs of others, ganging up to hurt someone mentally, bully bosses, gossip, spite, right up to actual physical violence and murder. I have a deep abhorrence for anything and everythingContinueContinue reading “All Unkindness”

Clarence: Boggling!

The mental heath services have killed at least 2000 children apparently.

I respect people who try to make a difference. Years ago our footballers were overpaid divas, arrested for driving big fat cars unnecessarily fast, andContinueContinue reading “Side Issue”

To my fellow bloggers who seek to help, to entertain, to create change. Especially the many who write about peace, share helpful advice, reach out their hands across borders, across perceived barriers, to chat to people of different races, creeds, and cultures. Who share insights into other worlds, which is so important for connection. ThisContinueContinue reading “Just for You”

Clarence: The Return of the Say-Aye!

…Or you’ll be suspended from Parliament, thrown to the wolves, locked in the Tower of London below water level, and sent to the opposition benches if the parts of you left don’t drown! Aye equals yes the PM approves of me, Nay equals oh sh…dear…I shouldn’t have done that and the Whips are heading myContinueContinue reading “Clarence: The Return of the Say-Aye!”
