Good morning everyone

Tony
Blair (and who could forget him as he pushes himself into the media
almost every week), entered the "Brexit" controversy this
week, suggesting
that those people (the majority) who voted to leave the EU did not
really understand what they were voting for, and called for "millions
to rise up against Brexit"
adding "
we
have to build a movement which stretches across party lines, and
devise new ways of communication.”
He just fell short of demanding another referendum (but only just) as
he patronised those who for many different reasons, had voted to
leave the EU. His intervention on this issue, proved yet
again that Blair is interested only in self and the advancement of
his long held ambition to be "President of the United States of
Europe". He must
have been very shocked and saddened that even those MP's considered
to be "Blairites" have criticised his plea for the Brexit
decision to be reversed saying that his press conference and his
words were "unhelpful" and that his dismissal of the
referendum result is a rejection of the democratic process. Perhaps
Blair will finally get the message and go back to his retirement
growing roses and making millions of £ and $ or
whatever currency he can get his hands on, writing his perverted
version of history.

A
report in this weeks media, warned of an increase in the price of
Fish and Chips in the local chippie, due to a strike by Icelandic
fishermen. The thought occurred to me that this story is not really
about the price of a large cod and chips. The issues are much deeper
and raise questions associated with the destruction of our fishing
industry over the last few decades. Men who used to fish the waters
around the UK but
who now stack shelves in Tesco or draw unemployment benefits.

Older
people in Weymouth and
Portland, could
lose the privilege of free seaside deckchairs under a council
money-saving move. The lengths
that some councils will sink to in order "to save money" is
really breathtaking. I suppose the pensioners could stand to eat
their chips or ice cream or whatever.
The
weather continues to meander from very cold with frost and fog, to
very mild with windows having to be left open to reduce indoor
temperature. The vagaries of the British "climate" has all
extremes. They are now predicting a mini heatwave in February. Ces't
la vie.
Have
a nice week.
