Well done Cam and letter from Gordon

Well Done for once you have done something to protect the interest of GB as expected all those weakling Europhiles, Ken Clarke, Michael Hessaltine, Paddy Get Your Pants down are telling us what a disaster it was and it could lead to the UK leaving the EU and this would be a disaster, these were the same type of people before WW2 telling Churchill to negotiate with Hitler they quislings.

Just imagine leaving the EU and becoming Independent from the EU and its laws and regulations, imagine we would no longer be part of the schengen agreement

where we had to by law allow EU workers into the country we could once again control our own borders. We could trade properly with India, China and Brazil and the money we would save not paying into the EU. Remember in all the whole time we have been in the EU we have always put in more the we got back

Will this happen I doubt it as all the Time we have the Libdems in the coalition Cam will have to back down. Yes for once he has let them know they are a third rate party BUT I bet he has already a plan to sneak back into the EU

Both Germany and France have tried to conquer Europe and lost every time to us Brits, that is why they want us to tow the line so the EU can be become a FrancoPrussin empire

The Editor

Sittingbourne News Extra

Dear Sir

Following the closure of the East Kent Gazette I would like to congratulate the Sittingbourne News Extra for the speed with which it stepped in to ensure that local people continue to have access to a newspaper providing the type of coverage that national newspapers cannot provide.

In the penultimate edition of the EKG there was a letter from my predecessor, Derek Wyatt, however, my response was never published. I would be grateful if you would rectify that omission on their behalf.

Mr Wyatt accused me of rarely speaking or tabling questions in Parliament. As it happens, since being elected 18 months ago I have spoken in 63 debates, voted in 90% of debates and rebelled against the Government on 19 occasions, which I hope shows that at least I have an independent mind and am not just another party hack!

In the same period I tabled at least 69 parliamentary questions. I appreciate this is less than some other MPs, but I prefer to write personally to ministers if I have a query; a strategy far more effective in getting a proper response.

In addition, I have written regularly to education ministers pressing the need for investment in Sittingbourne’s schools and I will continue to fight their cause without the need to continually blow my own trumpet in public.

With regards to the Northern and Southern Relief Roads; on this I have been consistent. I have always supported the concept of both roads, because I feel they would end the traffic misery faced by people living and working in the Sittingbourne area.

Recently I invited the transport minister, Mike Penning, to visit my constituency at which time I was able to brief him on the challenges facing Sittingbourne’s roads infrastructure, including the NRR, the SRR and the various problems on the A249. It was a stake in the ground for when the current economic crisis is over as the Government is able to spend more on our roads.

Finally, can I assure your readers that although I might not always be as visible as my predecessor, with the help of my very able staff, I am working quietly behind the scenes on behalf of my constituents.

Yours sincerely

Gordon

Sport On Decline

Read the report below I have been saying for several years the Olympics will be a White Elephant and sports participation is on the decrease. Judo has been on the decline for years but nobody ever admitted it, now they have. Not that those involved did not already know, the one sport to buck the trend is Boxing YES Boxing the sport hated by the left wing, do gooders and health and safety nutters.WHY? In Sittingbourne we have two very succesful clubs, one of the coaches have told me that they had as many as 80 kids in a night! What Martial Arts Club wouldn't want that. Maybe the PC correct way of teaching Martial Arts is failing? Maybe the kids are tougher then we thought. Time I spoke to some Boxing Clubs

The £200m own goal: Fortune spent on promoting sport before the Olympics sees football and swimming slump - but at least ping pong's on the rise!

• UK's two most popular sports see less participation
• Only athletics, mountaineering, table tennis and boxing see increased numbers

EKG is Dead long live KM Sittingbourne

East Kent Gazette goes out with a whimper

Last week it was announced that the EKG would close and I like many others were shocked and disappointed to lose a local paper I even wrote a thank you letter to them. They said they would produce a bumper edition for their last edition! What we got was a paper thinner then normal and costing an extra 15p.

On hindsight it was not surprising that the EKG folded it consisted mainly of advertising and very little on local news and seemed in the last few years that reporters had their own agenda whether it was political or nepotism.  I have felt that since John Rogers stepped down as editor in the late 1990’s the paper changed from being an all round general local news to a more selective items newspaper. The new editor Christine Raynor had left leaning views in my opinion and this showed in some of the articles and letters that appeared, when Labour Derek Wyatt got elected she must have been ecstatic eventually the EKG referred to Wyatt as “Our Del” some what surprising title from a so called independent paper but not all the blame of the failure of the EKG lies at her feet it seems with the changing of ownership did not help.

I was once told that I had sent more letters in then any other individual yet my last letter of thanks were reduced to a few lines, the last few years I have sent a multitude of letters in and I think I had 4 published in the 18 months. When challenged I was told the people of Sittingbourne are not interested in what I have to say! Yet I am often stopped in the street and told liked your letter or have not seen you in the Gazette recently. I believe it was because I told it as it was in language ordinary people could understand

Since e the mid 1950’s our Young Judo Club and the other Martial Arts we do were regular contributors to the EKG and I have to be very honest we have most probably the most successful club  in the town in them 55 years maybe we did not deserve an individual well done but why could they not have put “we have had thriving Martial Arts scene” No they put something about a motorbike rider winning Two British Championships in the 55 years our club has won many hundreds of British Titles also European and World Championships. Let’s not forget the success of the Weightlifting clubs in the town how many World Powers lifting Championships have the town had? The local Brickies Football Team get a lot of news and what have they won? Even to the last they were disingenuous by not printing our reports on the MMA competition and Jamie’s Gold Medal in the “Save the Heroes”

The coverage

Yet after all my moans I was still sad to see them! Well I was until heard that the KM Group are putting out a Sittingbourne Edition the only thing is I hope they do not employ the same staff they had on the EKG. So Good Riddance to the EKG

Another example of the inmates taking over the Lunatic asylum, this Coalition should be cancelled as it is not fit for purpose.

If we had election tomorrow who would you vote for? Well I would vote for Gordon not because he is a Tory but because he is a good MP but surely the time has come for a New Party to step forward as the 3 main parties no longer represent the people. They represent their own interest and their own pocket . We no longer have a democracy in the true sense in which the majority view is paramount and our representatives i.e. MP’s  represent our views

Prayers, India, Clarkson,EU

Today has been interesting in the press, we have British Aid to India has headlines I have been saying the aid programme is corrupt and should be looked at and administered differently I have said this for years. Sorry I told you so “I never wanted the Olympics” and said it was just a way for a few politicians and Bureaucrats to make money and that Dam EU once again proves it is undemocratic it is nothing but a Dictatorship.

The one that made me mad was The prayers before council meetings, here we have yet a very small anti Christian minority trying to affect the way the majority live expect Dawkins and Bailey will be well pleased with this. The little piece below explains but a couple of extra points which were mentioned on Radio 4 this morning

1)      The council had a vote on the matter and the majority voted on keeping prayers . NSS this is called Democracy

2)      Only one atheist in the Council complained

3)       Prayers are said at the beginning of council before attendance is registered. So do not like prayers do not go

4)      Who is paying for this court hearing and where do they get their money?

5)      There is something perverse about the NSS and its members when they want to outlaw such a harmless action

6)      How does prayers effect the way the council is run and does it harm anyone?

High Court bid over council prayers

The long tradition of prayers being said before local council meetings is to come under challenge at the High Court.

The National Secular Society (NSS) is arguing that the religious ritual is "inappropriate" in what should be "a secular environment concerned with civic business".

NSS president Terry Sanderson said that, in a multi-faith society, the practice was leading to a worrying "potential for conflict".

A survey of local authorities showed that the majority of them include prayers as part of the council meeting agenda



JEREMY CLARKSON

Had a row over this with the better half she seemed to think that saying shoot the strikers was OK but what was wrong was when he said in front of the family. Surely no one in their right mind believed he meant it, it was a joke a funny one at that. Mind you hardly worth saying a the strike was a damp squid at least the shops gained by it

EKG R.I.P.

I was shocked and dismayed when I heard that the East Kent Gazette was closing. Although we live in a fast technical age local news is still best distributed by a local newspaper and everyone read the EKG. I have been writing letters to the paper for over 40 years admittedly not many were printed over the last couple of years but where else can you voice your opinion on local issues? TV and the other Kent newspapers only highlight major’s issues but local people want to know about some of the minor things that happen in the area.

What of Sport? Where will you get the coverage? once again not from local TV and the KM and KOS group rarely put in the progress of local clubs they concentrate on  County Clubs fixtures and minority sports get very little coverage from them. The EKG has supported my Young Judo Club since its inception in 1957, yes 54 years of Judo and part of our success has been the reporting by the EKG on our triumphs and defeats. Could the Swale Martial Arts Club have  started new sections like our Sambo and MMA classes if it wasn’t for the light of publicity given by the EKG NO!

I hope some entrepreneur starts up an equivalent of the EKG as the Town and area needs a local voice. Can I on behalf myself, my family, my club and the people of Sittingbourne thank all the people who have run the EKG for over 100 years and say  WELL DONE you will be missed

Aid, Beer, Xfactor and Drugs

Had to put this article on the blog we still give aid to India, China and Zimbabwe, now the mega rich South Africa  is to get aid do you wonder sometimes if some official or MP is taking a back hander

The only reality TV programme I watch is strictly mainly because I can see the skill and advancement of the contestants still think it is to long winded. As for the corrupt X Factor that is where Karaoke singer gets together for a sing song, well past its sell by date. Now if you are someone who watches the ridiculous Get me out the Jungle, you have the same mentality as those women who used to knit round the Guillotine during the French Revolution. What is gained by these forgotten celebrities taking their stupid tasks and then get an audience to watch them suffer, DISGUSTING. Lets return to the days when TV produced Drama programs and good comedy but the reality programmers are cheap to watch and cater for the lower masses.

If the Euro crashes why will it be catastrophic for GB? Now I genuinely ask the question because I cannot see it, because we will trade with the same countries but just in different currencies. Its collapse will eventually lead the fall of the EU saving us £Billions in memberships fees, if you are a politicians or economist please let me know

2 youngsters die from taking dodgy drugs at a party and many are seriously ill, did anyone make them take drugs? What a waste of life just because someone wanted to reach a high, this is a time when I am glad to be in my 60’s and never got involved in that ridiculous fad in my teens it was a job to afford a pint of mild. While on the subject of drinking, on Saturday Val did some babysitting so I went out for couple of drinks with my brother Norman. What a culture shock, went into Bunters a proper pub but the lads in there must have been drinking for some hours because they were all pi@@ed, the language and the shouting was too much plus I knew most of them so wanted shake hands with me and kiss me UGH, walked up to see John in the Ypres and the amount of people outside the Vineyard shouting and swearing and been general abusive was beyond belief, I can understand why decent people do not want to use the High Street on a Friday and Saturday night. Mind you the last business you want to be in today is the Pub game, it is that bad pubs now put on entertainment on a Saturday to get people to drink and beer is going up next year. Ended up in the Sun at Bredgar where at least you could hear yourself talk but was only half full.

Public Sector Strike

I think the strike by the Public Sector workers is wrong not necessarily because of their grievance. Although after reading details of the pension scheme it seems better for the lower paid but thy do not count for much when it comes to the Unions. No it is the fact that they do not have a mandate to strike with only 25% voting in favour. Surely it must have at least 51% of its membership in favour. Now if someone doesn’t vote that must be seen as a No vote and if the Unions put up such a bad case to their members the majority do not vote that is the fault of the Unions.

The hypocrisy comes from David Cameron Pseudo Libdem government, they say this undemocratic because the majority did not vote for it yet when the majority of the people want a referendum on Europe it was rejected. They threatened to rush through parliament laws to stop the unions striking on such a low turnout, yet they can not rush through laws to stop immigration which is killing this country or laws to stop squatters.

The one day strike will not effect the general public a great deal it will be a one day inconvenience that is all, this is about the left wing Unions having a battle with Conservative led government. Something I thought I saw the last of in the 1970’s and 80’s both are wrong and both do not care about the public.

Miles is moved after accident

some of you may know that Miles Loscombe, one of our Judo Kids, was involved in a serious accident some weeks ago his head was hit by a speeding car. Since then he has been in intensive care at Great Ormand Street. It has traumatic time for his parents but we are pleased to say that there is a little light at the end of the tunnel, His father George has told us that Miles has received funding to be moved the rehab centre at Tadworth. Miles recover will take a very long time so I am sure all of you will say a little prayer for him to aid his recovery.

Border Control and EU

Two things caught my eye in the paper today the first was the Civil Servants Strike. Sorry I do not have a lot time for these well cosseted workers who work in a protected environment not known to workers in the real world but they may have a point in that if they signed a contract when they started work which states they can retire before any other worker and get a handsome pension in the bargain, that contract must be honoured no matter how bad it is. Yet after saying that is this strike really necessary? It seems we are drifting back to the Union dominated 1970's. With only 25% of the Union voting for a strike how can they validate strike action? The Union also show scant regard for the security of this country when they insist their Immigration Staff strike leaving our borders open to terrorists. Border Control Office should not be allowed to strike, like the Police, for national security sake.
Secondly read the piece about Europe when will the Political Establishment realise the EU is an undemocratic dictatorship and is no use to the British people

Murder Cover Up

I knew Carl he was a lodger at my son's house he was also a regular member at Nobbys Gym, I new him well enough to speak to and as was said in the article he was an extremely fit young man plus he had that little bit of extra exuberance all ex elite troops have i,e Marines and Para's. It must have taken more then one to take him down. I hope they find the people who were responsible and know his Marine colleagues would like a few names. Yet already the cover up has started like his father said he need British Detective out there to find these scum who murdered a man who put his life on the line for his country.

Val's Birthday 65

Valerie is 65 today, happy birthday have treated her and the rest of the family to a lovely Chinese at the George Teynham Had a brilliant night out, all the Grand Children were present , John was their with is young lady, Susan was their alone, her husband has cleared of with some Grandmother, so I am told (must keep my hands to myself) and Donna is still not talking to her mother, maybe when have gone she will realise what a friend her mother was.

So as you can see this getting old is not all it is cracked up to be, but at least Val and I are still together and I know it sounds soppy I love more now then I did when I married her. I know! stop being sick one of the side effects of getting old is you start getting emotional. So she has had the meal she wanted, next I will take her to Bruges in a couple of weeks time for the Christmas Market plus I gave her a cash bonus on her retirement. That was a joke!  all the time I am about she can not retie, it was bad enough going to Lithuania last weekend and having to pack my suitcase for the return journey

Mind you she is in good nick she went for a check up because she has reached 65 Blood Pressure 120 /75 Blood Suger 6.5 Cholesteral 3.5 Pulse 67 that something some 20 year olds wouldlike I know I would want them figures Oh and she lost 7lbs. Thanks to the Wee I bought her last Christmas she is on it 5 days a week plus she uses a vibrating board

Yet sometimes life throws up little gems this was an article that appeared in the Daily Mail on her birthday

YIPPEE

I am in a bad mood

I had to go to Vilnius Lithuania for the World Sambo Championships; the journey was horrendous first the M25 and M1 with its road works an mad Lorry Drivers. You are told to travel at 50 mph yet theses juggernaught monster are just a few feet behind you with all their light on trying to push you on, no wonder there are accidents. Yes and most were foreign, to top it all some were on the phone other were lighting up fags or drinking. Then arrive at Luton airport (we no longer use the correct term aeroport) where about 80% are foreign national and nearly all eastern European, not that I minded as they are going back to their own country, departure gate was like a cattle herding station where we waited stacked together for boarding. Had a good seat on the plane till some one brought a 6 month baby on board and sat behind and cried continually for 2 ½ hours. Return was not better on the Monday had another baby behind me and the plane was full with more Lithuanians taking English jobs, then into passport control where the queue was nearly 400 yards the equivalent of going around a running track, their excuse for this was it is always busy on a Monday as all Johnny Foreigner returns from a weekend break, nothing to do with the fact got a bol**cking for not doing their job properly.


As a lot of us said the EU was doomed to failure and the Euro crisis we are proved right but the Europhiles want to keep it alive so they can enjoy luxurious life style. Now my cousins in Germany are ordering us to do as we are told and that quisling Nick Clegg or that Boy as I call him agrees with him. Our mate Dave Cameron talks a good talk about the EU but he can not do the walk. Can not wait to see the film “IRON LADY” watch a Prime Minister who had bottle.

So all the Irish Tinkers are going to move back on Dale Farm after their holiday in Ireland its about time this scum were put in their place lock up and destroy their caravans if they continue to break the law.

So poor litter Rich kid David Gilmore son of some one in Pink Floyd is released after doing a ¼ of his sentence? I bet he is having a good laugh at our expense, he is no better then them Irish Tinker Scum

Martin Awarded CDM

I had a nice compliment given to me the other day; an old friend of my parents stopped and said she had read about the government reintroducing the British Empire Medal for people who help others. She suggested that I deserve one for all I have done for the Town, I was extremely touched whether others agree with her is another matter. I said someone who is as vocal as me with my views do not get awards I had offended to many people especially the people who recommend you for these awards. It was a nice thought though and I said the only thing I would get was the CDM (Cadbury Diary Milk)


This made me think what are the honours awards? Lets be honest most are not for ordinary people no matter how hard they work for the Community or for there various organisation, yes I know they are thrown the odd morsel like an MBE or OBE etc but the real awards go to the upper crust or people with money. Knighthoods are practically guaranteed to top Civil Servants who are paid extremely well to do a job of work and receive a good pension, well if staying in one job all your life is criteria for a Knighthood what about all those who work for one company all their working life? Money is the easy way to buy an honour you gives a massive donation to any political party and you get your knighthood etc recently a multi millionaire tried to donate money to the Conservative Party they refused so he approached the Labour party and they accepted, so the politics did not matter just the getting the gong did. Alternatively you get some Pop star being awarded gong who private life style is a disgrace, surely a gong is something that people respect or is just another out dated medieval tradition?

For some time I have realised we do not really live in a Democracy where the people of this country decide their future we have to rely on Representative Democracy where we select a person to represent our views and opinions. Yet once selected they can and most often do ignore our wishes, the recent vote in parliament proved that. If we want a true democracy we must have referendums on all major subjects which affect us the people and maybe a vote on who gets a gong

Yet I have an idea why not make an award called the British Volunteers Medal this can awarded to anyone who has spent a least 30 consecutive years in the Voluntary sector or can be awarded for exceptional service and I mean exceptional . It need not be an expensive medal but the award would be a method of appreciation for all the years of dedication they have put into their chosen path

Ruth Davidson Who does she think she is kidding

Ruth Davidson, the openly gay new leader of the Scottish Conservatives, believes grassroots Tories would be relaxed if she chose to marry her vegetarian atheist girlfriend

Who does she think she is kidding?

Tories in Scotland must be desperate in picking her not for disgusting sexual habits but the fact she has only been in the Tory party for a couple of years. With her at the top you can practically guarantee Scotland will become independent with a labour and SNP in power not such a bad thing. Remember if we did not have any Scottish MP's we would not have a coalition government

Bredgar Lower Halstow Fireworks

Interesting weekend on the local scene on Friday night we popped up to Bredgar Village Shop and café, for some months they have being doing a take away Friday for Curry and Fish and chips. Both I and Val thought we would pop in and have a sit down curry and was great. The curry was what I call an English version of curry rice on a plate with the curry in the middle, spicy but not over the top great. Met Drew and his wife there and had a good old chin wag with a glass of wine. There is talk that they will open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday for food, drinks and a chat. Let face it we could do with something like that in the area as we have plenty of restaurants where you eat and go most do not want you sitting their all night, as for Pubs they are either gloried restaurants or have these massive TV’s, with loud music and loud people, So Bredgar café open up and get back to what a pub used to be somewhere to meet and talk.

Saturday I grandkids wife and son visited the newly rebuilt Thames Barge the Edith May at Lower Halstow; during winter months it’s a small café. Really great going into an old barge seeing the work they have done in restoring it to its previous glory. The barge is heated by a long burner so you get the smell of the burning wood, also you can smell the reclaimed timber not everyone taste but it added to the authenticity of the Craft. In the summer it takes people out for cruises maximum of 12 people cost for a days trip is £720 bring your own food i.e. £60 a head, I think that is reasonable do I have any takers?

Bonfire Night always bring back memories from child, getting a pipe and aiming rockets at Trevor Jordan’s house which was 6 doors away, lifting the pipe and thinking I can use it like a bazooka but forgetting that the one end should be blocked, the rocket falling out the back and whizzing across the ground. Did you get up the following morning to see how many dead rockets you could find? More importantly can you remember why you done it? Can you remember the naughty boys? I remember one boy I knew who put a banger down a Red Pile Box will not mention his name as became a Policeman. Me being taken to court because of a Firework, some of you may remember the old town hall (where NatWest is now) well there used to be an alley way there. I walking one way and a school chum, Dennis Roper, was coming the other way he threw a banger at me which landed at my feet and exploded. For two 14 year olds this was hilarious but to women nearby with a child did not think so she started screaming and before I knew it was grabbed by a Copper. I was hauled up to the nick I think it was still in Park Road then and charged with something or other. My next step was magistrate’s court, where I said it was not my firework but someone else, The beak said they had heard that one before and fined me 17/6D, as he done this he looked up at my father and said “Nobby make sure he pays it not you” I found out that dad had done several judo demo’s at Fetes for the Magistrate. That did not help me I still had to pay and got a whack in the process.

Needless to say I am no longer keen on fireworks

Martin McCuskar, Secretary of the local Labour Party. out burst in the EKG last week about Gordon Henderson MP not getting up to speak on the debate on the EU referendum and then suggesting  he should join UKIP tells me he must be a new boy on the block. The Conservative Party locally has always been EU Sceptic as far back as when   Roger Moate was our MP he voted against us becoming members of the Common Market now called the EU, this vote affected his rise to become a minister but he like Gordon was a man of honour. Gordon has never shied away for his conviction on being EU sceptic but he is a good local MP extremely active in the constituency and he lives and has lived in the constituency for decades can that be said of our last Labour MP NO. Unlike our last MP who was flown in Gordon was selected by his local members much to the dismay of Conservative central office why? Because he is not a YES man his first thought is for his constituency

 I personally detest this Coalition Government and believe Cameron has become their poodle forgetting lots of Conservative policies but I can not  blame them for the awful mess this country is in because of Martin McCuskar Labour Party but I do not blame him for clutching at straws trying to convince people that the Labour party is any use in a modern Free Great Britain. Two other points several labours MP’s voted for a referendum and did not Gordon get the largest swing to the Conservatives in the Country?

I am not a Conservative because of David Cameron I am a Conservative because of Gordon Henderson and our local Councillors

EU Dictatorship-Lesbians-TV in Kids rooms

Merkel threat to Greece: We'll kick you out of EU if you hold referendum
Greece is going through turmoil most of it is of there own making and they have  to make some drastic cuts which will affect every individual in Greece. So rightly so the President of the home of Democracy says he will consult the people and have a Referendum. This does not suit the Political Elite in the European Union so they threaten Greece who now looks like giving in to the European Union Dictatorship. This is led by the German Leader, hopefully the German people will not be fooled by another dictator wanting to be the Empress of Europe but we must beware did we not have some one in GB recently who wanted to stop a referendum  of course it was that EU quisling David Cameron

Got told of yesterday I was in the company of two other chaps and referred to Lesbians as Dykes I am told Lesbian and Homosexuals can call each other Dykes and Poofs   but the rest of the population 98.5% are not. I am told that Lesbians are referred to” as Ladies who wear sensible shoes” Good Job we have Freedom of Speech in GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morrisons

I have been moaning about Morrison’s employing nearly all eastern Europeans instead of local labour and I would continually quote the fact they said they would only employ 20% Foreign Labour. No w I thought this was part of their planning consent but I was wrong there is nothing in their planning permission to say they have to they have to employ local labour So where did this rumour start from and why did not Morrison’s or Swale B C not deny this and say “Martin Clarke why do you not get your facts right?”  WHY because it suited both of them to continue the rumour

So Should the Council have put in a clause in Planning stating they want at least 80% local Labour? Would they have been allowed to ask the question?

With nearly all Farms in the district employing Foreign Cheap labour and with more and more medium size businesses on Trading estates employing cheap foreign labour we will soon have most of the British people in Swale unemployed, shops will soon all become eastern European owned and English people will be expected to learn a foreign language to get served.

I recently signed a petition to get Parliamentary hearing on the fact we are heading for a country of 70 million which is unsustainable. The interesting thing was that the figures for Foreigners in this country are only 20% are from the European Union. If this case and we got rid of the other 80% there would be enough work for both the British and the EU citizens. EU workers could be spread out through the UK and I would not have to walk down Sittingbourne High Street and here a multitude of foreign languages and wonder if I am in a foreign country

Mobile phone

The obsession with the mobile phone is becoming a Joke. Swale Martial Arts Club has told everyone their mobile has to be switched of during lessons, we had occasions when the phone rang pupils would leave the mat to answer them, this was a health and safety issue plus extremely bad manners. How many times have you been in a restaurant or Pub and they go off the person on the phone then speaks three times as loud as everyone else and 95% of the time it is unimportant . Last week I was at the Cinema and people were using the phone an I pads during the film which found extremely ill mannered, yet an advert came up form Orange who suggested that there negotiating with Cinemas to have a 2 minute break in the film so you can use your phone. I hope this was a spoof but who knows? The Bride who took out her phone during a wedding ceremony was just to much. Let’s put a ban on all mobiles in places where you can not smoke

OMG I'm getting married! Bride takes out her phone and starts texting as she walks down the aisle (after hiding it down her dress

Global warming Con plus 57 Libdem MP's

I have attached two articles which are worth a read. One is about the con they call Global Warming, this excuse to tax us. Two, Peter Hitchins piece, do like him have to agree with most he has to say, he brings up the subject of how once again Cameron is falling over backwards to keep in favour with 57 libdem MP's
Also do any of you watch Andrw Marr on a Sunday No where near as good as Frost on Sunday but worth a watch. Yet today they had the whole show in Australia? Why just because the queen is there? How much did it cost the BBC to send a team down under all at Tax Payers expense

Who can trust Cameron

Cameron has said he has put his Civil Servants to work to find out  what laws we can claw back from the EU SOME HOPE

Here are some comments from the DM

As in Libya, we need a National Transition Council to oust our Dictator Cameron, and get our country back for us the British people. Dictators are going out of fashion worldwide and the sooner Cameron goes the better. No referendum - OUT of the EU, NOW! We can then use the billions saved to rebuild our broken society, for our schools, hospitals, libraries, services for children and the elderly which are all in decline BECAUSE of the EU.

Interviewing 1142 people is hardly a representative sample, now is it? And you can red arrow me all you like - I'm just stating the 'facts' from the article. Percentages mean nothing at all when the sample is so small - especially considering the population of Britain is 60 million....

It appears that the leaders of all our major parties want to be a integrated into EU. But without being totally committed to this, by allowing the EU to control all aspects of our daily lives and us using the Euro, they know it will be difficult. But finally the people are begining to rebel against these polices, and we the people of this great country do not want to be part of European super state. HOW CAN WE VOTE FOR THE 3 MAJOR PARTIES WHEN THEY ARE PREPARED TO LIE TO GET INTO POWER. We need an alternative, only UKIP appear to be in line with the people on Europe.

Clegg the man is a traitor

Tory rebels trying to claw back power handed to Brussels won't get their way while I'm in power, crows Clegg

What have I been saying since the election it is the LibDems who run this country and they have converted most of the front bench including our Silver Spoon Prime Minister. It the Tail wagging the Dog.

Clegg is a traitor to this country and should be dealt with accordingly another millioonare Polatician who treat the normal Brit as pleb he and his like sicken me,

Well done Gordon MP of the people

Well Done Gordon

How can anyone call GB a Democratic country when the great majority of people in this country want a referendum on Europe yet are refused it by the Political Elite. Once again the wishes of the people are being ignored by the establishment all three major parties totally ignore the people on a regular basis. There were a few on stood shoulder to shoulder wit the people of GB they were mainly Conservatives but there were also Labour and Libdems there as well and these were the real patriots. I am pleased to say we have an MP in Gordon Henderson who stood by what he believed in and voted for a Referendum WELL DONE a man of the people

Lets start a campaign CAMERON MUST GO

Once more, we see the prejudices of the governing class over-riding the democratic feelings of the people.

I also feel sorry for the people of Faversham who’s MP Hugh Robertson voted against the referendum he is obviously one of the Governing Class. Time for him to go as well

Demoted for not backing gay marriage: housing manager's pay slashed for criticising new law on Facebook

Something else you can thank DAVE CAMERON for. Civil Partnership I think are a good idea it is a way of protecting your assets if you are in a long time relationship but it is only for Homosexual and Lesbians and it is based on their sexual deviance, two sisters or brothers who have lived together cannot register, Two friends who have decided to live together under one roof and share their assets cannot have a civil Partnership and they have a normal sexual appetite Finally Homosexuals and Lesbians represent 1.5% of the population

Why won't Dave give the British people a vote on Europe?

For years I have been after the right wording for my dissatisfaction about how we are governed

Simon Heffer has come with the right quote

Waste Paper Hooray Pikeys kicked out

Waste Paper collection and the money it makes has been the backbone of a lot of Charities but now Kent County Council under the guise of a EU dictate have now restricted what hey can collect. They now can collect only from Private Individual, no longer can they collect from Factories and shops as this is classified as trade waste. So the charities can no longer raise funds and some may have pack because of this and the businesses and shops will no longer be able to get rid of their cardboard free of charge. So who gains of course the Kent County Council they will charge businesses a fee to collect waste paper and cardboard and the sell it to recycling units KCC you are Con Men. It does not stop there in Folkestone a Charity has had a skip placed in a convenient spot for some years and local people would put all their waste paper and cardboard in it. This can carry on as long as each individual fills in a form every time they place something in the skip and there is more to come in the future all packaging will have its own individual Identity mark so when it leaves the shop and get dumped they KCC will know where it comes from and this will be classified as Trade Waste. It does not matter that a private individual buys an item the packaging will be the property of the seller, so in future all paper and cardboard will be trade waste. Most of the money made this way will go to unknown bureaucrat’s wages and entertainment Jollies and Cameron told us he would cut back on this type of bureaucracy yet another lie

Did you also know that all businesses have to fill in an annual report on what trade waste they have dumped, the EU have allocated a special code for each piece of waste there is so many they have to publish a book with all the codes, how long did that take a EU officials to do and how much did it cost? Yet they have no way of confirming what is reported is true

The inmates continue to take over the mental asylum

AT LONG LAST THERE GETTING RID OF THOSE POOR PIKEYS IN ESSEX

I wonder how many of them will be arrested? in fact how many of them are actual Travellers most are Rich kids who just like violence along side their drugs and drink habit

Climate Change and Cambridge

Watched one of those cop shows on Sky last night it was in the Cambridge area. Over 1/2 the programme was dealing with Eastern Europeans being drunk etc the ironic part was when there was an argument between tow lots of Travellers (Pikeys) from two different sites one lot were Irish the other was Lithuanian both lots should not be allowed in this country

Bisexual-Corperate Greed-Pregnant working women

Demonstrators protesting against "corporate greed" are spending a third day camped out in London's financial district.
As long as they do not cause any damage then I support them it is also about Financial Institutions Greed and mismanagement its about 1% having 95% of the Worlds wealth. I believe in God and these evil greedy people who make money while others suffered will be judged in the next life

Sorry I am back on my high horse about sexual perverts. I can not know why people are Lesbian or Homosexual mostly probably they were born with this defect, yet I can understand that some would want to make a permanent relationship and the Civil Partnership is the right way to go BUT NOT MARRIAGE. What I cannot understand is how people like stonewall and Peter Tatchell can promote Bisexual as a relationship there can be no excuse for this disgusting perversion. Can you imagine it if they were allowed to get married!
Do You John take Edith to be your lawful wedded wife forsaking all other except for harry who you want as your lawful wedded Husband, I now declare you Husband and Wife and Husband you may now kiss the bride and groom

Why should Women get paid time of from a Job to have children? surely they had the choice or if they fell pregnant by accident why should an employer pay for their mistake. It is totally unfair on people who have no children they do not get time of, plus they are expected to cover these people with increase in wage or what about the women who stays at home to have children and look after them what happens when her children fly the nest and she goes back to work can she ask for back pay because she had children x amount of years ago, No a totally unjust system
