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.

Mozilla Firefox and their irritating grey folders

I use Firefox because years ago I decided not everything from Microsoft was magic. Their complete and utter monopoly of the internet and my own machines is annoying and incredibly irritating. Changing from Explorer to Firefox was not just an act of rebellion it was an act for the little man and little woman. Why should companies like the big M and google have access to all our data and know everything about us? I've even heard Facebook listens to conversations and then tailors adverts to your news feed. Apparently in testing this a user talked about cat food all day long even though they had no cat. Only to find their news feed was full of adverts for cat food. I might try this myself and see if it is true. However, now Firefox has gone the way of making an assumption about it's users and not engaging with them, it's updated to yet another version to increase speed however it has now made the drop down bookmark folers turn a boring and difficult to see grey colour.

So there is now the option of going to Chrome or trying to find a solution. This single act of changing the folder colour from yellow to grey has pissed me off. But I'm only a little fellow so Firefox probably doesn't care about the opinio of a little fellow. Yet in doing so it may find it loses it's users. I look for work arounds and check the settings to see if there is some option to change the dull flat grey back to the yellow I liked and used to see. There's nothing. I've checked a web site which has an option to load a segment of code into some part of firefox in order to change the folder colours. But this seems drastic to me and seeing as I can't read code or understand what it will do I'm apprehensive. Like the old saying, if it aint broken don't fix it. So the question is firefox why the fuck did you piss about with this small part of the interface and fuck it up?

Caucasian but rather be stupid

In the urban areas of London there is a set of causians who speak in a different way than other Londoners. It's not becuase they happen to be Polish or Romanian or some other European, it's because they have a notion it is cool to pretend to speak in a American afro caribean ghetto like fashion. They are not black in any sense of the word, but their language is such it comes over by emphasis of the ignorant rather than the intelligent. Further to the this the world owes them a living and the world owes them a respect, even though they have done nothing in the world, except maybe in their hood. Hood meaning neighbourhood. Their view of the world is as insular as seeing existence in only the few streets from their home they are familiar with. They will likely be aware of the gangs in their hood and the crimes they are upto. Their language is to blend in so they are like those around them and reflecting ignorance whenever they can. For they do not want to stand out as different but at the same time they don't want to stand out as individuals who have a vision of breaking the shackles of their hood and getting out in the world. They know what they know and it's primarily about the small pond of life they inhabit. In so doing they dwell in this atmosphere and can not see beyond the either the physical boundaries of their streets or the mental cages in which they are imprisoned. In adopting this projecting of who they are, they become this downtrodden image of the new common urban being. Hiding the true face of theirself.

Some have a camelion like trait to them. Such an example would of been the early start to Adele as she started to get known as a beautiful singer. I recall an interview with her on day time TV from those early days, she had been asked to do a song and then there was two or three minutes of chat. She had this same language about her, she spoke as though she had been brought up in a mixed racial neighbourhood and she didn't want to offend anyone and just wanted to say in so many words 'I am just an ignorant singer' and 'I come from the hood.'  Of course over the years her wealth and popularity took her far away from the hood she was part of and indeed we know she is married to a very well spoken man. She's also completely dropped any whisp of that ignorant accent she carried.

To older generations like myself, when I hear this language it feels these persons are being traitors to the culture they are inherently part of. It's mostly the young who act this way. But as time goes on even they young age and the younger take over with yet more different lanugage and words to seperate their identity to the rest. You can only be hip for so long, when the clock expires you become very much unhip. And then look stupid.

What is the answer to motorcycle bandits?

London has been suffering an ever-increasing crime wave of motorcycle bandits. Their operating mode has varied, from the stealing of mobile phones, other motorcycles and raids on jewelers to the physical assault of pedestrians. Policing wise it seems there is very little active pursuit and action. The reason we are told is it is more dangerous to put life at risk speeding after these theives. Just in case a thief is seriously injured or worse still a pedestrian. So they get away in most part in what can only be considered a successful criminal career move Yet today the news broadcasts indicate a gang of these people were caught and sentenced to justice. The remarkable fact was they were all in their late teens and male. The thrill of being chased, doing something risky and the speed of a motorcycle are the perfect allure to the simple minded just out to make a buck.

Solutions are in fact very thin on the ground. The courts could come down heavy on these criminals with mandatory sentences, but to a teenage the concept of doing the time doesn't come into it when the thrill of a chase is on, when adrenaline is pumping and a few quid will end up in their pocket. Perhaps there is a technological response, maybe there is also an uninvented defensive weapon just waiting to be put into production which stops motorcycles? Maybe there isn't?

Trump an Embarrassment

There must be many American's alive who would turn in their grave were they dead in acquiescence of the USA now having the worst and most incompetent leader of the world. Or perhaps not, if North Korea's leader is thrown into the pot. The two though do have a common characteristic, which comes across as individuals with a childlike emotional intelligence.  The word intelligence also probably being something rarely spoken about in their respective political circles. In yet another news article where Trump was interviewed by Time magazine and as usual avoided answering any questions about his own fake news he retorts to the journalist he must be doing well because he is the president and you're not. This really is behaviour of someone with subnormal mental abilities and the sort of thing a child would say. I can't help but shake my head repeatedly as the disastrous presidency continuous and the same question comes out, how can a moron like this be president and allowed to continue to get away with what he says? However, maybe some heads of state tell it like it is.


When Angela Merkel and Trump sat in a chairs in front of photographers, Trump had his demeanour stooped and a look on his face like he had just been severely reprimanded by his favourite aunty. In short, he could of burst out into tears at any moment. For a while it seemed Trump had other things on his mind and wasn't even thinking about the fact he was now being photographed for the international press with the head of the most powerful European country sat next to him. A country which is not running at a deficit and one which does not adhere to policies of putting up boarders and alienating refugees who flee death in their own country.When Angela asked him if he'd like to shake hands for the cameras she was snubbed. It was awkward to say the least. The entire media heard her ask the question, it was recorded on live TV but Trump sat there dour faced and doing nothing. The alternative is he didn't actually hear Angela, possible because he was doing what men normally do when they are sexist misogynists, pretend they didn't hear it. Trump is the representative of all of America and this is how he acts. Again. Why is this man allowed to continue?

Trumps allegations of wire tapping have now rebounded back in his face as Britain's intelligent services have retorted he has lost the plot, and he has. This is probably because Trump is a conspiracy theorist, who only listens to the nefarious right wing news outlet known as Fox News. Which really shouldn't be allowed to call itself a news broadcaster as it is more of a far right wing supremacist organization. However, Trump doesn't mind for their word is like the word of his own fictitious god, by the way his is an atheist in disguise, you can tell because he doesn't know any hymns.
The wire tap claim just really cemented Trump as a conspiracy nut, as with all his fake news there was no evidence. Unless you count the moment when he says he was just repeating what was said on a Fox News program. This bogus item came from a lawyer it did not come from any of the US intelligence agencies and they have been a pains to stress there is no such evidence. It's funny though, those around Trump must support him and vindicate what he says, after all they want to stay in power as long as possible and justify their wages. However, the likes of Spicer giving press conferences is short of a couple of things, well maybe more than a couple. For in reality Spicer comes across as a clown, he really does need to get a red nose, big shoes, some make-up and a clown suit. His press conferences would perhaps be more factual, because at the moment the suit he does wear makes him look out of place. And it is important in politics to look in place. Maybe, he and Trump go to the same tailor and the clown suits have just been lost, or maybe the circus in town has can't afford a clown act when the national clown act is doing so well.

The thing with people like Trump, is there always comes a time when they do something so stupid even their own supporters can not support them any more. The meals on wheels fiasco has now seen a number of his voters drop their heads in shame and wish they had stayed at home. It is only a matter of time when other Republicans of a higher ilk will start to counter plot against their idiot leader. It will happen. At which point I wonder if Trump will set contracts on them or just use a anti aircraft gun to complete their execution. No doubt he follows the highlights of what North Korea does to their traitors. When in fact the most traitorous person is the one who doesn't represent his own country and his own peoples. The one who looks after himself not giving a shit about the rest of society. I wonder who I could be thinking about? Damn where did I leave that golf club?

One day Trump will not be on TV, lets hope this isn't after he has contributed to the destruction of the planet and world war 3. How long is he going to continue? Now anyone's guess is valid, the sooner he is kicked out of office the less embarrassment the USA will continue to endure.

Phone Tapping - Trump fake news

The merry-go-round of entertainment continues as the ongong worse American President in history continues to disseminate lies and his own brand of fake news in order to appease his own battered ego. This could be a narrative of Kim Jon-ung ruler of North Korea however it's not although both he and Donald Dicky Duck Dump Trump might of well come from the same genetic line were it not they were born on different continents.  It's probably certain if Donald's grandmother hadn't gone to America then Donald would of never been born or had he been born, it might of been in the depths of
Glasgow, where his inherent ginger locks would of made him fair game. If he acted there the way he acts today he'd no doubt of been stabbed a few times and served time in prison, for his behaviour would not of been tolerated. Unlike Jong-Uug the Trump doesn't have access to VX nerve agent because he would no doubt of gotten rid of Obama for one followed by every free thinking and democratic supporting news media. One thing's for sure Donald's personal vendetta list must get longer by the day.

Recently Donald has accused Obama of having enforced phone tapping of Trump Tower. Funny thing is were this true then Donald would not of won the election. But it doesn't matter, the bottom line is probably to do with Obama having a bigger crowd at his inauguration, see the latest picture released
by the National Park Service at Trump's very own request. The result suggests he has just slapped a custard pie in his own face. Trump is simply jealous, the phone tapping saga is a revenge tactic of  invent and retrospective poison. This preoccupation with Obama is no doubt time consuming and a good method of side stepping the real decision a proper president would be undertaking. Like I guess how the hell is he going to deport all the Mexicans? And pay for it. The thing is the FBI's head of service Jim Coney public states such a thing could not happen and did not happen. It is clear from Trump's preference of the Tweet media he likes to throw out his own conspiracy theories and accusations which amount to lies.

The legislative checks and balances of American government changed after the Nixon debacle, future presidents would not have the power to order a phone line tap of any kind. This can only be done by a specialised surveillance court not a president. The real concern of this however, is were such a wire tap actually taken place it would of been with strong enough evidence to influence the court some kind of illegal deed was taking place.  I might hazard a guess but collaborating with Putin might well be the sort of thing Trump would do.  Therefore in a way Trump is saying "I am a crook, I know,
because my phone was tapped." He may well be a crook, but the blatant ignorance of law and government working only again underlines Trump is not a clever man, in fact, clever is probably a word not in his dictionary. He may be an entertainer given his success on the Apprentice, but he's not the man you want who holds the nuclear football, as Hillary said. Trump seems to be in a complete and separate world of his own when it comes to reality, which suggests he either has his own mental illness or he has a mental illness other than an intellectual deficit.

The unfortunate and sad thing about this man is although his actions are farcical (and every day brings with it more deranged behaviour) at some point they will no longer be farcical but become both tyrannical and tragic. Very much in the same fashion as Jong-ung, only at this point will those electors who voted him show a little insight and realise what they did was to give more power to corporate America and desecrate their own democratic systems.

The Copeland disaster for Corbyn



The problem with Corbyn is not actually Corbyn at all, it's the rest of the world. Lets face it he's had little to no support from the media and has been fighting a continual battle with his own MPs. Corbyn is by no doubt a true socialist and a true working class advocate as well as advocate for those who are not in work, however the voters no longer side their political belief system to their actual circumstances it is like they have lost the thread and make their own choice decisions. It goes to say
when there is a reaction it doesn't mean there will always be a reaction. Unless you happen to be an MP born in the wrong era, who has become disconnected not with your core supporters but with the public in general. The truth be said, Corbyn is too honest for his own good he does not practice the dark art of wearing a sheep skin misdirection and double speak in order to act the way he wants to act. He is transparent, obvious and to this extent has lost the political football. Like John Prescott would never of been a Prime Minister, Corbyn is the same, I'd have him in my cabinet but he'd never be in the driving seat.

Recently two Labour seats had by-elections, Copeland and Stoke-on-Trent. The news is now how spectacularly Labour lost Copeland and there is good reason. The facts of Copeland are staggering, it had been held by labour since 1935 so would be the typical safe-seat by any standard, it underwent a mid-term by-election and the normal running majority should of been in the region of 2000 votes. But this was not all, the elected candidate for Copeland was Gillian Troughton a former doctor, councillor, and pro-nuclear (unlike Corbyn) advocate. She also ran with the subject of NHS cuts and the loss of a NHS hospital in Copeland, in many respects Gillian was the ideal person and if there every had been a safe bet to put your money on, without actually going to Copeland and feeling the water, this was it. However, the Tories produced an earth shattering win and a hell of a demoralising loss for Labour. Their lead is now 2000 plus votes against the 2000 previous loss and they won against the backdrop of NHS cuts and a hospital loss. So the question on everyone's lips is how the hell did they do it? Given Gillian's background this is a disaster. Unfortunately there has been a somewhat feeble excuse given, Corbyn doesn't like nuclear so the voters didn't vote Gillian in.  I don't believe this.

In order to be a politician it is necessary to implement the dark art of spin. The success of any government gaining power has been by their ability to say one thing but do another. Corbyn's straight talking is a clear sign of his unwavering concrete socialist views, unfortunately the world is not black and white it is many shades of grey. An example can be seen in Trumps inauguration speech, when this was being aired it was surprising how much he said was clearly socialist in sound but at the same time it is just as clear this man is a Republican. Perhaps voters are not politically savvy, perhaps they don't understand nearly every politician wears a sheeps skin. Corbyn doesn't and this is a problem. You can't win an election unless you can persuade voters from all parties to vote for you, effectively stealing votes.. The sad thing is voters no longer identify with any specific party, the middle ground is bigger than it has ever been and the need to court the media is imperative. Fact, sometimes you must shake hands with the Devil whether you like it or not. And Jeremy Corbyn just will not.

If Corbyn can't adapt and change to the voter climate he will not lead Labour to a win and if he has no self insight it is the country he must represent not just his core socialist voters he would step down. I don't like saying this and hate myself, but it has been way too long now and the loss of Copeland is the last sign for me.
