Good morning everyone.

Alan Turing


"Alan Turing's law", is a long overdue piece of legislation which has taken 64 years to almost reach the statute books, for government to acknowledge the gross injustice of convictions and punishments handed down to Turing and others, under the Criminal law amendment act of 1885. On Friday (21st October) Sam Gyimah the Conservative MP for East Surrey and government minister filibustered his own legislation to "talk out" the amendments to the Policing and Crime bill which would have introduced this reform.

Sam Gyimah is a reprehensible and unprincipled example of an MP bringing the whole House into disrepute. The whole story is in today’s paper under the headings "Policing and Crime bill to incorporate "Alan Turing law" and "Sam Gyimah MP, filibusters his own legislation to introduce "Alan Turing's law".

Brendan Cole




While on the subject of "Strictly Come Dancing" (again) Brendan Cole has been struck down with a "lung infection" which has prevented him from appearing on the show. Reports of his "death" appearing in some sections of the social media are greatly exaggerated. The 40-year-old dancer said that he was "horrified & bemused" by the report.

Ed Balls in Strictly Come Dancing


Ed Balls, one of the "Celeb" (?) contestants on the show, has problems other than being, (according to many critics, viewers, and assorted other opinions) consistently the worst dancer by far and who should have been eliminated weeks ago, has more troubles to add to his difficulties. It seems that Ed is being left out by the younger contestants who go off to Camden or Central London when the show or rehearsals have finished at around 11:00 pm while the "older" contestants wander off home for their Cocoa drinking chocolate and their pyjamas. Poor old Ed has to be up early in the mornings.









The NHS is crumbling under the weight of chronic disease. This is largely driven by diet and lifestyle factors.

As well as lifestyle, we should also be looking at the amount of preservatives, additives and other assorted "nasties" that manufactures pump into all sorts of food. We can choose what to eat and drink, but we have no control over what the manufactures and producers augment them with. Legislation is implemented to control sugar and salt content of food and we should work towards legislation to control food additives.

Even the American people are at a loss to understand

On Tuesday November 8th, less than 16 days from now, the American people will go into their polling booth's and place their "x" or whatever other method of showing their preference may be in operation in their particular State, for the next President of the United States. Of the 6 candidates in the poll, it is almost certain that either Trump with the strange coiffure, stranger finger gestures and questionable past, or Clinton with the manic facial contortions, shrill almost hysterical rantings, and questionable past, will become the next person who the American Secret Service refer to as POTUS. At least after November 8th, we shall be spared the endless coverage of the "Presidential Campaign" which seems to have be going on for the last 12 months, and the appalling slanging matches labelled "Presidential Debates", (which I hasten to add I have only seen on the News Channels as that is the predominant news they seem to report) so favoured by Sky News and "their sister Channel Fox News". The thing that I am totally at a loss to understand, is how from a nation of some 320 million people, these two unstable politicians have emerged as the only choices for the role of "Leaders of the Free World". The xenophobic sex predator, or the belligerent interventionist, give a whole new meaning to the words "what an appalling choice".

It is cold, but it is getting warmer or maybe not depending on which television channel you may be watching and whether their seaweed is more accurate than the oppositions seaweed.

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
