Socialism begins at home

Everyone knows Bozo is a socialist. Everyone knows Bozo dislikes the Labour Party. Blair. Brown. Milliband. Yuck But this new benefits policy they launched today isn't awful. It may be awful when it gets to detail. And implementation. But as... Continue reading

World Cup update

I had intended to update more often. But I haven't ! But now everyone has played. Better England than I expected. But same result. Not sure where I stand on the Great Rooney Debate. Talent is one thing. But if... Continue reading

I have a question

How come Croatia's goal was disallowed for a foul on the keeper and Holland's third wasn't ? Just asking. I'm glad the tournament came alive last night though. Was kind of twilight zone experience watching Spain's pedestal being dismantled. Finally.... Continue reading

Truth and Tolerance

I often hear people (mainly Atheists) saying that: "No one faith can have a monopoly on truth!" Which always makes me laugh because atheism is of course a faith position! And so many atheists think that the absence of firm... Continue reading

The Musketeers, seriously?

So, Bozo has always avoided reviewing things. When you write - and when your work (rubbish though it might be) is criticised - it feels like you are witnessing your children being slaughtered by marauding savages. So - slaughtering the... Continue reading

Some thoughts on 1 Peter 2; 4-10

4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices... Continue reading

My call is not important to you

I am no big fan of listening to recordings when I call a service provider - but then again - I don't know who is. My particular irritant is the phrase: Your call is important to us. Because I believe... Continue reading

Twitter - the final death knell of democracy

Twitter did not cause the degeneration of democracy. I think that began a long while ago. After JFK in 1960 - political operators realised that image mattered as much as policy. That made elections into the marketing of products and... Continue reading

RBS. Gotta admire their chutzpah

Let me put on my old cracked record. We put people who stole trainers in the riots a few years ago in prison. Management of RBS have scammed the entire country for many years now. Costing us billions and billions.... Continue reading

Is the blame properly apportioned?

I have decided I am heartily sick of one particular comment. You will all have heard it, it goes along the lines of: "why does God allow all the poverty and starvation in the world?" You really think that is... Continue reading

Is that God's fault? Really?

I have decided I am heartily sick of one particular comment. You will all have heard it, it goes along the lines of: "why does God allow all the poverty and starvation in the world?" You really think that is God's fault? Really? Apparently people do - and think that... Continue reading

It's the wrong approach

A theoretically Christian couple who turned away a gay couple from their guesthouse lost the appeal in the supreme court. The story can be found here. Why do I say 'theoretically' Christian? After all - that is a pretty offensive... Continue reading

Memphis or Soweto?

I have never been to Memphis, There - I admitted it. So it's only being honest to say that my "sense" of the scariness of parts of Memphis came originally from the movie The Blindside. However - Although in the... Continue reading

Simon Callow - I'm surprised you're a hypocrite

Did any of you read mr Callows' piece about gay marriage in the Standard last night? I dare not say the slightest word against homosexuality without bringing upon my head the castigation of all of western civilisation. Upsetting or offending... Continue reading

Bozo was watching MotD2 last night... unusually - although Colin Murray is quite good fun. They showed the Goal of the Month for August - 9 goals - all pretty good. Not one single one of which was scored by... Continue reading

Whose Job is Change?

Greed and Job Security

The feel-good factor?

There are a lot of countries less well-off than the UK - it would be facile to suggest otherwise. Of course Greece might be better off if people actually paid taxes, but that is another blog. There is no doubt... Continue reading
