In my limited driving experience there is one constant being repeated each time I go out for a little drive. It is the experience of learning an Audi driver is an arsehole. They like to be in front, and use their faster cars to exceed speed limits and dominate the public roads. They think nothing of cutting across the front of another driver, have no regard for the indicators which to them must be like occaisional christmas lights.
Did you know Audi is short for Arsehole!
Well it's true. I wonder when it was Audi drivers became these Arseholes, I mean was it the time they bought their car, or was it before they bought it? Perhaps something akin to a teeth fairy came along took out the reasoning part of their brain and noticing there was an arse transplanted a bit of arse where they'd normally think. There can be no other explanation for it. For the Audi driver it is a race to see if they can get in front and to see how many people they can piss off. There's swastickers they line the interior of their cars with. One for every hundred other motorists they can piss off. They go so fast you'd be surprised how quickly those stickers mount up. It's also why their cars have higher insurance groups.
Are Audi drivers the kind of people who have a personality change when they get behind a wheel? I once knew someone like this, in the workplace he came over as reasoned and eloquent, but put him behind the wheel of a car and all he did was swear profusely. Mind it may well be because he didn't drive an Audi he swore so much. Perhaps he was frustrated with the Audi's which kept overtaking him.
I recall decades ago when taking driving lessons with a fat instructor. He weighed so much when climbing a hill I had to put the car in second gear, the car just kept getting slower and slower, it was the only way it would make it to the top. But it might of been him what said it, or someone else because my memory is a little fuzzy. They said, when driving somewhere it is about getting there safely not fast and it's better to be late at your destination than early to hell. Where, there may well reside quite a few Audi drivers no doubt.

May's grip on BREXIT fails
May has just announced the agreement to a BREXIT has been OK'd by the cabinet. Of course the reason for a unanimous agreement which by the way only come about after the meeting took another two and a half hours, was purely to stay in power. Why? Because the Tories love being in power, love ruling and to the greatest degree of arrogance can never ever let go. They will sell their granny to stay in power. Teresa the robot May walked out to a single microphone, it was the walk of a woman with the country on her shoulders. Physically being the PM has taken it's toll on her, she looks like she's already prepared to go into an OAP home and have the spittle wiped from her lips as she is coaxed into stirring a sponge cake mixture. How the hell is this woman still running the country?
So it was, within minutes of the announcement the DUP had chastised the agreement. They were not going to vote with the government, this single announcement by itself has now thrown the weight of government into disarray. The crunch point has come, in the next few days we'll know whether the desperate Tories can stay in power or whether they are about to be flushed down the bog. Take into account the numbers of backbench MPs who are so now so disgruntled the party vote versus conscience vote has now swayed fully to conscience. This government is about to have yet another trial over whether it stays in power and this time it seems like fingertips are not going to be enough to hang on.
Bye, bye blues.

Why I voted BREXIT and regret it
I consider myself intelligent, in fact most intelligent people like to pride their self on be a little bit special as though it is not just a badge of honour but one of self-esteem. However, human being are ruled by what they know, and they don't know. Sometimes there are too many facts to wade through, sometimes there is a plethora of information and it is difficult determining what is the most significant. These are perhaps excuses for my voting BREXIT, however my vote was for a number of reasons and it wasn't because the remainers think I'm thick, for calling someone thick will not win an argument and likely just entrench them in their own views. So if you are a remainer, understand this and get it into your mind, many very ordinary and intelligent so not so ordinary people voted BREXIT. Now though I have changed my mind, but the reasons why I voted this way still stand.
The UK is a net contributor to the EU. Looking at the members of the EU there are few which actually pay into the EU a greater amount of money than they get out of it. The contributors are: Germany, UK and Netherlands. The UK is in a recession and has been for many years, so why is it we put more money into the EU than we take out? Why is the net contribution as high as 8 billion pounds? Money which could be used to net off against the ever enlarging debt burden the UK is acquiring. Of the 27 nations surely half should be contributors and half should be gainers. Yet at the same time the UK is considered the 4th or 5th richest nation in the EU. Again this statement does not add up, unless all the other EU nations are in a higher debt situation than the UK. So giving money to someone and finding it is not a reciprocal arrangement kind of made me feel as a voter there was not sufficient equality in this relationship of nations. Surely if a nation is putting in at a loss to themselves they should proportionately have a greater say in how the EU is run? When in fact we haven't we don't and we are viewed on with disdain (in my perception) by many of the other EU countries, with the disbelief everybody here is rich.
I am working class and have always considered myself working class the riches of the UK are collected in the top percentiles, it's said about two or three percent of the UK population own fifty percent or more of the wealth. This is inequality at an extreme level. When I walk about my local town and shop I see poverty everywhere and politicians who are non representative of my class and my country. So my BREXIT vote was a particular punch in the nose to those politicians to tell them I don't want them in power, they should not be in power, and they do not represent me. It's a Labour versus Tory thing. Cameron when he was PM made me want to heave at his arrogance and opulence of opportunity he had in his life. There was no understanding on his part or Tory policy to help the common people to see every person as a potential PM and not just those who are privileged. Further in general the career politicians who have never worked a real job are the ones who should not be in power whether they are Tory, Labour, Lib Dem or any other party. Another prime example was the coalition of Clegg and the Lib Dems in bed with the Tories. My belief in the Lib Dems was as a true alternative and by then joining the Tories they became no alternative. Politically this was the worst decision they made and it will hang around their neck for the rest of eternity. When I saw Clegg demonstrate his belief in the EU and the need to remain, my back got up and I didn't want to hear a word he said, he should never of been the poster boy and he has certainly paid a price by losing his own constituency with a resounding majority turn around to Labour. The Lib Dems change of side was in my view treasonous and treacherous. I will never side with them for anything as they have now no political weight. Simply they are very damaged goods and hardly Liberal at all.
The race issue. This is a big issue for indigenous UK inhabitants and is only felt if you know it on a personal basis. If you have felt it and found yourself to become a minority grouping in the very area you live in. This is my experience. I get on a bus and find I am a minority white English man, I am inevitably outnumbered by black African origin passengers. I go to Que for said bus and find the once very English nicety of queuing no longer exists. People push in, shove and jostle to get on the bus. Yes it is the outskirts of London, but in the 1970s if someone pushed in a Que the entire bus stop que would ensure they moved back into their position. This nicety no longer exists, I now walk to earlier bus stops in order to get a seat and on the bus without shoving and pushing, my culture and my nice belief of order and respect in this very minor aspect of life is an affront. When the UK began under the Labour party of Blair to accept more immigration the population and make up changed substantially. Perhaps Blair was hoping those who migrated here would be Labour supporters. Instead, what happened was he pushed Labour supporters to the right rather than to the left. I could also tell of another personal instance from a nephew of mine attending secondary (Academy) school, found he too was in the white working class minority and found other ethnic groups were actively targeting white boys in bullying them and threatening them. Being politically correct seems to not accept racism can be black on white and in my experience has never actually taken this on. Just as racism can also be black on black and white on white, it has many varieties. And I will say I have felt racism against me for being white but of course it's something I am not allowed to talk about in public.
It could be counter argued punishing a political party for the decision of a referendum should not mean punishing the country and cutting our nose of despite our face. Or the issues of poverty in London and other parts of the UK are a result of immigration policies.
I still state I have changed my mind, for it is more than apparent the EUs 27 nations if not the administrative system of the EU now on a war path. A path to destroy the UK not by real war but by financial means, to make the UK pay in any way it can for voting against them and not wanting to be part of their group. We also have one of the most incompetent government's in power there has ever been, changing my mind is based on a realisation, though I don't like the current political classes the only people who are going to come out of this worse off are the working classes and certainly not the rich ones. For their opportunities and arrogance has no bounds, they will be wealthy and their wealth untouched forever. Whereas another nephew of mine who has just become a father and works in a pizza shop is going to feel the pinch of austerity in the years to come. If there is another referendum I will vote remain because we are in a hole, without a plan and are about to become the newest poverty-stricken nation in the EU. It will not be long before those EU nationals who came to the UK will emigrate back to their own countries as they find it is harder and more difficult to live here than where they come from.

Trump - The most unstable and unintelligent leader ever
Donald has now pronounced himself to be the most intelligent and stable person he knows. This is a man who has learning difficulties reading. Perhaps he can't count beyond the fingers of his own hands or perhaps he has a problem from moving from the number one and talking about himself. This self hair dying ginger nob head thinks he is stable and thinks he is intelligent. For an individual to have to say this about themselves suggests they are hardly anything but intelligent. Further he has described himself as a genius, which he might be if his peers were a group of four year olds. You'd certainly would feel uneasy seeing him in a sandpit playing with a bunch of them, mothers and fathers would shout out 'keep that degenerate ginger nut away from my child!' There are few people who would agree with him (except for Mike (sycophant) Pence who has a silly lap-dog expression on his face whenever he sees Trump speak.
In the meantime nearly a full year has passed since his presidency and the hot topic yet again is whether the Trumpard should be allowed to open the door to a all white padded room from which he can sit and eat his cheeseburgers and fries. As yet another round of headlines hits the press from the opinion of mental health experts such as well known psychiatrists and psychologists. It beggars belief to consider such health professionals would debate or question the mental health of such a powerful man. Maybe they have nuclear bunkers and live on a secret island. It's funny though the question of Trump's mental well being has been continuously raised during this entire period and no doubt it will every additional day he lodges in the White House.
Intelligence and mental stability are not things any individual should think they can diagnose unless suitably qualified in some way. Even psychologists have argued about it for a long time. Intelligence is both fluid and stable, it is fixed to specific talents and is not an altogether easy thing to define but has a sort of stability to it. Vague is the word. It's not a matter of just knowing things it's being able to put those things in context and understand them. Intelligence is therefore measurable in part by intelligence tests. Mental stability is a factor established when being around an individual and witnessing their behaviour. Erratic behaviour is not stable, child like behaviour is for children and is not something adults should show. It is this instability Trump shows to the world and is mentioned in the book Fire and Fury. Instability which can be seen during any press conference and especially when the press are allowed to ask questions of their own accord and not be told they can't. It is the publican this book by author Michael Wolff which like a rabbit pops its head out of a hole to irritatingly questions again whether the man who sits in one of the greatest seat of power in the world should actually be there. Immediately though it is possible to see Republican supporters getting on the defensive, for those who voted Trump in will feel it is a judgement of their personality. It does though take very little time for any ordinary person to identify Trump is as stable as a geriatric practicing tight rope walking.Yet why is he still in office? Why is he allowed to be there?In the meantime America's image to the world is of a nation in complete disarray, a nation of idiots who voted in an idiot as a President. Putin knows this and is enjoying each and every day Trump is in power. Americans may get some reprieve when comedians such as Colbert throw up their satirical episodes. Further it would be exceedingly unfair to say the whole of America voted for Trump when it didn't, he won the presidency but not the popular vote and hasn't submitted himself to a psychiatric evaluation, were he to, the recommended padded room would be reinforced with more padding and more locks as the key would be thrown away and the rest of the Trumps seek therapy and real world experiences.
In Scottish there is a name for the person who goes about with an attitude of look at me and 'aren't I brilliant.' It's a Bam-Pot. Carrot top here fits this name amongst others, like idiot and cretin.

Sounding a air horn in a library
It's funny how new arse holes find different ways of being bigger arse holes. An example is a tosser who filmed himself going into libraries with an air horn, blowing it and videoing himself. His face is expressionless and like all arse holes he is seeking attention. What stupidity is it makes someone do this? Libraries are places of study and usually quietness is a help. Some university students will have their careers dictated by the time they spend in a library because there are few places they can seek refuge from the noise of a home and even their own bedroom if it is shared. Being in a study zone where your mind is fully concentrated on a subject can be a valuable place to be. Then being disturbed by a tosser who think's his momentary youtube fame is worthy of a million likes and the additional subscription of half a billion users. I wonder how he might feel if at some future point a heart surgeon is operating on a loved relative, and at the point making a critical decision that heart surgeon is then also given the horn treatment? He might be unhappy, he might be very unhappy and he might then realise the error of his ways. Shame it would take so long to realise it.

Defeat of the Tory Bribing Brexiting Disaster
In what can only be described as an epic day of politics Parliament has succeeded in defeating the
Government from bulldozing a BREXIT bill which would of made the Tories wield more power than the evil Sheriff of Nottingham Forrest. The vote was 305 for the government and 309 against. So they lost. But let us not forget the Tories had spent a wopping £1.1 billion pounds in bribes to the DUP party to ensure they had an additional 10 votes for emergencies. Of the 650 MPs in parliament it therefore looks like 36 were either sick or decided to abstain. Had the bill been successful then Tories would of been able to let anything they wanted determine the BREXIT process. Anything at all and the opposition or any other party or the general public would have absolutely no say in the matter. Therefore, now the Maybot has been temporarily decapitated, until she goes and picks up her head then welds it back on. Like a bad odour she just seems to linger on and on. Who will rid us with the pungent woman?
In turn the 12 Tory MPs who voted against the government may find they are deselected from their seats. These were 12 brave individuals who believed party politics should not be at the behest of the country and this dirty dozen have their cards marked. They will have to accept a lot of bile from their own stable mates because this government is running scared and fragile. Each and every prime minster question time they are called to step aside and give up their so unstable power which no longer rides on the popular vote. They stick together because they are in fear of losing power, they are in fear their party will be kicked out. But their record is one disaster after another and plunges the UK in an ever spiraling debt crisis. They just don't have the ability to think outside of the box on economics and making the UK great again. Look at every chancellors speech and you will see one set
of prosperous projects after another and then the result is nothing like they espoused. They say one thing but deliver something very different. Even Mays return to power speach on the steps of Downing Street have turned out to be lies. As being in word doesn't help pay and the worst of society are not better off. In fact social discord and inequality and poverty are at the highest and it's all due to the disgusting greed of the rich. Rich businesses who don't pay their taxes, rich upper classes who yet again get one tax break after another after they have filtered their monies from various different international accounts and financial instruments. They either end up paying no tax at all or managing to get additional tax relief for the goods they do purchase. In doing so they starve the NHS of cash, the emergency services of cash and our very important state schools of cash. They have become the parasites of society and no wonder their gentrification of London and the surrounding areas is making them hated beyond belief.
So why is it the Tories were defeated? Could it be something to do with the disastrous David Davis and his inability to possitively answer a question of whether there had been any impact assessment on UK business and BREXIT. He was only able to repeatedly state there was a 850 page document
printed which had a sector analysis. Unfortunately that analysis was more than lacking and the 850 pages are no more than redundant pages ready to be recycled as rough toilet paper. Repeatedly this government has dodged and dodged the bullets of enquiry. They have failed to answer reasonably asked questions and are going to make this country the worst to deal with business in the world. Constant harping on about BREXIT models which are like Canada or Norway just do one thing. Which is to emphasis it takes a decade or more to actually negotiate an out of the EU trade relationship. It simply can not be done in the time available. But the Maybot like a bull in a china shop can only work one way.
Therefore before we know it she's going to get herself broken if not kicked out of government prevented from remaining the leader. She just doesn't have it. The road to BREXIT is long, it needs to be slow steady and reasoned, not rushed into as this mentally deranged lot of blues would rather it is. For if they get their way bankruptcy and poverty is a stone's throw away.

Exhausted with Trump
I've had enough of watching any news item with Trump on it. It's like the guy is trying to steal bits of my life by imposing himself and he is so stupid so completely ignorant of the world there is nothing he can tell me which has any interest. How bad those American voters must feel now he has had more than enough time to show his true colours. To show his racism, bigotry and misogyny.
I saw an article in the news indicating leadership could be determined by body language. At which point I thought what a load of shite. I have seen men who believe they are leaders because they have powerful jobs, I have seen them walk the walk and do the talk, and with contact have learnt they were anything but leaders and not the sort of individuals I would follow to the post office let alone in any other sense. In fact, I have acted on my own determination to pass up the chance of advancement in my own job because the man I would've had to be directly responsible to I considered someone not worthy of me. I want nothing to do with him and as little contact as possible, so I intentionally failed a question at my interview pretending I didn't know the answer, when I knew the answer very well. I hate the injustice of ignorant individuals, be they managers or politicians who get in positions of power and paid mega bucks but are no more than shadows of a competent person. Yet, they still hold sway with followers who I can only think don't have the full picture and understanding. Who have not done enough of their own research to see through the tissue of lies and spoofs peddled by such ignoramuses.
Trump doesn't deserve any more fuel to inflate his weary clown like demeanour and I'll not bother a glance at what he says. He is very much the little old aunty you barely see, the one who lives on her own with a dozen cats, who has opinions of the world based on when she was 16 years old and times were very different then. Who will knowingly make a statement and believe it to be true no matter how false it really is. She'll then make a racist remark and you'll just pretend not to hear it, because it is not worth arguing with her, she wont change her spots are so indelible they are part of her very being. Such is Trump, the abnormally small handed ginger nut who should of been put into a mental institution years ago weren't it for the fact he'd bought out all the psychiatrists. So they bite their tongues and just think of their bank balance. In the meantime the little man will get shitted on.
