DUFF & NONSENSE!

"The most embarrassing day in the EU's history".

But believe me, there will be more!  My title quotation is from "a former Europe minister" - why am I not surprised?  He was referring to the utterly false claim made by the European Commission who launched an investigation into a stockpile of vaccines found in Italy which they suggested was a secret hoard meant for the British!  It was not!  There should be red faces all round in Brussels but, of course, those lying liars would never blush even if their trousers fell down in their rubbish parliament!

Thank God - and the British 'peeps'! - that we got out of that rancid racket!

'Something rotten in the state of Scotland'

What a festering, moldy pot of smelly porridge Scotland's politics have become under the dodgy grip of 'Mrs. McWhinge'!  However, the question is, what will the Jocks do about it at the next election?  Of course, their rampant nationalism or, as I prefer to put it, their virulent anti-English dribblings, will drive them to support that stupid and dishonest woman despite the obvious fact that she is a whining, whinge-ing liar of the first order!  Ultra-nationalism is a sickness but, alas, there appears to be no cure for it!  There is a part of me - only a small part, mind! -  that hopes they achieve their so-called 'independence' because then we can all sit back and watch them as they thrash around in their home-made porridge as the French and the Germans undertake a fresh version of 'the clearings'!

 

 

 

The EU offers the ultimate truth of how much they hate us!

If there is anyone in the UK who has the slightest doubt as to the depth of detestation that the EU has for Britain they should consult a doctor!  In threatening to hold up legally acquired batches of coronavirus jabs ordered (with surprising efficiency!) early on by HMG, they demonstrated with absolute clarity their malicious and malignant feelings towards us.  My fellow Brits who voted for us to get out of this Franco-German racket deserve praise and congratulations for their foresight - and yes, I was one of them!

Lest you doubt me, this diagram from the DT tells all:

My TV week is saved!

Thank God for that otherwise I might have been forced to talk to the 'Missus'!  Last night saw the return of "Line of Duty", positively my favourite police series, if not my favourite TV programme, of all.  Happily, all the regulars were back in and it was just like meeting old friends!  Everything remains apparently the same but, of course, that ultra-clever Jed Mercurio who writes the scripts, is already hinting at surprises to come!  What can one say, except possibly, "Mother of God!" 

'You're on a disciplinary charge, Duff!'

For gross idleness in the face of total tedium!  Yes, and I am very sorry but, honestly, what is there to write about?  I mean, when Joe Biden tripping over some airline steps is front page news it is an indication of just how dull and dismal the world has become!  Mind you, 'exciting times' are not always good times!

Happily, bonny Scotland continues to provide some much-needed entertainment.  I will not attempt to summarise this from from the Telegraph:

In 2014, when Nicola Sturgeon took office as First Minister and leader of the SNP, she returned to that theme, telling us that standards would be of the highest order. Pledging to maintain the rules of the ministerial code at Holyrood, she declared: “I will lead by example in following the letter and spirit of this Code and I expect that ministers and civil servants will do likewise.”

Contrast that with where we are today: Ms Sturgeon has been deemed by a majority of a committee of MSPs to have misled them, and thus the Parliament itself, and as a result has breached that very code. But she refuses to resign.

Why am I not surprised?

 

 

 

The claymores are being sharpened!

Unbelievably, Mrs. Sturgeon's lips are becoming even thinner as the bags and shadows under her eyes grow ever larger!  What can one say, except 'ohdearwhatapitynevermind'!

 

 

Being half-Jock myself, I can only plead with my fellow Scots to rid themselves of this dreadful woman as soon as possible.  Gradually, but inevitably, more and more details are coming to the surface of the dirty political wars that have been fought in, er, not so bonny Scotland!  Yes, yes, my fellow Jocks, I know that Westminster is not exactly a clean and pristine environment but ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark’ Scotland' and it needs to be expunged.

 

 

 

The Sunday rumble

The European Union's dis-union!   Still, at least they provide a constant source of chuckles!  Apparently, they have been trying to organise a "Conference on the Future of Europe" but, alas and alack, according to The Telegraph, they cannot agree on how or when or even who to direct it:

But the idea quickly became mired in inter-institutional squabbling, which has meant the overdue event ended up with no fewer than six presidents, rather than the single one originally planned. [My emphasis]  

Could you trust them to organise a 'piss-up' in a brewery?

 

'Mrs. MacWhinge' sings the blues:   According to sundry reports, the political wind in bonny Scotland is not exactly lifting 'Mrs. MacWhinge's kilt, let alone her spirits.  At last, 'the Jocks' are taking a hard look at her and even more of them are unimpressed by what they see.

 

Farewell, Murray Walker, and thanks!   I was very sorry to hear of the death of Murray Walker, the 'voice of F1 racing'.  His Grand Prix commentaries were knowledgeable and entertaining.

 

Anyone fancy a game of marbles?   Well, the Greeks do because they are repeating, yet again, their demand that Britain returns the Elgin marbles which were begged, borrowed or stolen (you choose!) by the beastly Brits back in the 19th century. 

 

Frankly, I'm on the side of the Greeks!

 

More rumbles later - maybe!

 

 

 

Who would ever wish to live in China?

Don't misunderstand my title!  I have nothing against Chinese people, having lived in Singapore for a couple of years, in general, I actually like and admire them.  However, the brain-dead morons who rule the mainland of China are, as far as I can judge, totally despicable and stupid beyond belief!  They have just announced restrictions on the two enormous, and enormously successful, high tech companies based in China and sacked their top managers.  Not so much shooting yourself in the foot as shooting your computer and then the men who make them.  Keep going 'Chairman Xi Pingaling' and you will soon reduce your great nation to the basket-case condition it was in for centuries.  Just take a look at Singapore for an example, courtesy of the late, great Lee Kuan Yew, for an example on how to run a country!

There is one good thing about this pandemic!

Watching, happily from a distance, the total cock-up the EU have made of getting vaccinations to their people during this pandemic, compared to our own rather good efforts in this department, how happy and content I am that we got out from under the Brussels machine!  They really could not organise a piss-up in a brewery!  Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge sums it up, this:

While the vaccination programs in Israel, the United Kingdom and even the United States have gathered form and speed, it has stuttered and stumbled in the EU.  The companies behind the vaccines have been patchy in their production lines.  Authorities have put halts on jabs and in some cases, introduced rationing.

On occasions, we Brits make some colossal  cock-ups but the operations of the bumbling, stumbling European, er, 'machine' make us look like an F1 racing car!  Despite our own history of errors, living next to 'le grande cock-up' makes me exceedingly grateful to the British 'peeps' who voted us out of it!  Sorry, SoD, did you say something . . . ?

 

 

Yes, Piers, that just about sums it up!

I refer, of course, to the latest Piers Morgan (non)shock, (non)horror 'event' on his TV show in which he stated,

"I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe it if she read me the weather report. The fact that she’s fired up this onslaught against our Royal family I think is contemptible."

A somewhat heated discussion then ensued between Morgan and the weatherman reporter who was on set at the time who was, I gather, a keen fan of 'ME-ME' Meghan so Morgan walked off in a huff!  He did return later, to his credit.  Personally, I agree with Morgan, if 'ME-ME' Meghan told me the time, the first thing I would do is check Big Ben!

.......................................................................................

This about sums it up, too - thanks to one of my very naughty readers:

 

 

 

 

Does anyone take Meghan seriously?

Well, her Mum, probably, but not her Dad, I suspect!  Also, Harry, of course, he dare not do otherwise!  I don't, of course, not least because at one stage in my life I was on the extreme fringe of show business which, even in passing, showed me the ridiculous and ludicrous nature of so many, so-called, 'stars'.  It is always and forever about "ME, ME, ME!"  In fact, that suggests a new name for the lady - 'Me-Me Meghan'!  Mind you, I don't blame her for not liking certain aspects of society in this 'our stagnant Isle' but it's how you deal with it that says so much about you.  Her pouting and flouncing re-action says so much about her.  Good luck with that one, Harry, you are going to need it - you prat!

 

 

A Sunday apology

Yes, alas and alack, this week I have lived down to my very worst traits of idleness!  Next week I promise to get a grip and return to my usual stream of, er, utter crap!  In the meantime, here are a few of what pass for thoughts in my brain!

 

Farewell, Meghan!   Don't think you will not be missed because we Brits always enjoy a snigger especially at dopey-daft foreigners.  Even more so when, as happens so often, they take an instant dislike to us.  Alas, Meghan, you have joined a world-wide club of zillions who detest and despise the British so not too much exclusivity there!  Oh, and please keep hold of Harry, he is a total prat and embarrassment!

 

Has anyone seen the Labour party?   Not, I hasten to add, that I am missing it, let alone eager to see it back again, but, dammit, it is supposed to be Her Majesty's Official Opposition!  

 

Simon Heffer gives it 5-stars but even so . . .    I am referring to Nick Lloyd's history The Western Front of which Volume I has just been published.  It has the benefit of providing insights into all sides of the conflict.  I am tempted, despite my certain knowledge that is will reduce me to tears of both sympathy and anger!  However, given my age, will I live long enough to finish it?

 

There is something rotten in the State of Scotland:   'If ye ha'e any doots' then the continuous stream of stories emanating from Edinburgh will still them, or rather, they will replace them with genuine worries for the 'body-politic' up there!

 

Cheerio, 'Nige', and thanks for everything:   So, we bid farewell to Nigel Farage, arguably the the most influential British politician since Winston Churchill.  He it was who, virtually single-handedly, got us out of the clutches of those wretched Europeans and their British 'fifth column'.  Give that man a seat in the Lords!

 

 

No more later
