They called it Passchendaele.

Good morning everyone.

Why is it that so many people start a sentence with the words "I mean" or "Well, I mean" ?
Is it just another Americanism that has crept into the English language or is it just plain laziness from the speaker?
What ever it is, it is intensely irritating.

It is the "silly season".It is that time of year when newspapers have little if anything to splash across their front pages, which explains why the headlines and "stories" are of such diverse subject matter.
The front pages churn out pictures of some Royal or other, always a good standby to fill a few column inches, or some yawn inducing words about some American politician or some B list celeb involved in another scandal. Some newspapers make up their own stories in their "Fake News" departments and cover their front pages with lies or smears about whichever political party they do not support and some even publish real news using a biased and warped emphasis against a perceived enemy. Take the Dialy Mail for example. Under the heading of "Queue here for the Gravy Train" the mail publishes the most scurrilous and reprehensible attack on working people which is pretty low, even for a paper renowned for its sickening reporting of anything not complying with the views of its owners Daily Mail and General Trust and Paul Dacre, the contemptible editor-in-chief of DMG Media.

"The free movement of people from the EU will end on the date the UK leaves".
Dependant of course upon which Minister of Theresa May's fractured government you happen to ask, or which newspaper you happen to read or which pundit, quoting "government sources" you happen to be listening to,
The fact is that on the whole subject of Brexit, this pathetic government hasn't a clue where it is and no idea where it is going.

On the subject of Brexit, I note that the Express has burst into action with a story on how the EU is fragmenting in the face of the United Kingdom Brexit and Brussels is tearing apart the "united front".
How can one newspaper be so wrong on so many issues so many times?
The Express joins the Mail and the Telegraph in The Top Three daily "newspaper" publishers of the perverse, distorted and untrue nonsense.
(I do not count the Sun as (a) it is a comic and (b) it is dying a slow death anyway, as more people now buy Andrex Quilts instead)


Why is there a speed restriction of 30 mph on the B3157 for around three miles near the Boarding Kennels? No work going on, just miles of 30 mph signs (but other drivers still go past at 50 mph or more) and the usual traffic cones. It says that work will continue for 27 weeks! Only 23 weeks left then.
I would require a great deal of convincing that some water board personnel or Open Reach people (they and their vans seem to be everywhere) or who ever they are, working in one small field adjacent to the road would require miles of speed restrictions.





Have a nice week

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
