Does anyone think Cameron know what he's doing?

It is rare that a day goes by when Cameron doesn't enrage me in some ways. Yesterday's brilliant idea however left me gobsmacked! Clamp down on absent fathers, name and shame them, but hey it's the women who are left behind who are to be (financially) resposible for tracking these men down. And what about those women who for very good reasons don't want to track them down, violent partners, abusive fathers, rapist dad's, serial dad's etc, why should they be made to suffer financially. Cameron says he wouldn't be the man he is today without his fathers influence ( I'll leave you to decide whether that's a good or a bad thing ) and that it 'simply isn't acceptable" for single mothers to be left to bring their children on their own, like this is a life choice NOT! Come on Dave, the rest of us live in the real world, the answer is not to punish women, it is to educate men, radical though that may sound.

No lessons are being learnt.....

Following the events in Luton at the weekend, David Cameron made a few booboos regarding multiculturalism, conveniently forgetting that the British Isles has been multicultural since men and women walked across the none existent English Channel, then the odd invasion or 3, then colonialism..... need I say more.

or each and every action there is an opposite reaction.....

Newton I believe, regarding physics ?%@***? Thank you Eastenders, my 'slough of despond' begins in September, 4 children, 2 alive and brilliant, 2 victims of SIDS and still brilliant. Anyway their birthdays are all within a month of each other, and the deathdays also fall in birthday remits, after 18 years and 16 years we have now come to the point where we still miss, but we can also be grateful, Sam and Eleanor, carrying them, meeting them, loving them, and probably making those that knew them better people. So then comes Eastenders, and back it all comes, partly because of the storyline but mostly because an awful lot of people I thought better of keep telling me 'it's just a soap', with millions of viewers who have just been fed the biggest load of misinformation, where were results from the forensic examinations of the baby's bedding, oh and where was the coroner and the autopsy report. I could go on.... Positive Anger directed in the right directions should never be undersestimated.

now it's not wot you call rocket science!

oh dear oh dear oh dear! Apparently Northampton Patriot ( and by association the EDL ) are being victimised By Hope not Hate, and by implication myself and Anjona ( although Anjona gets a mention by name......can't have been gobby enough!). Denying them freedom of speech again, how awful! FREEDOM of speech requires FREEDOM of reply. We have the freedom to speak against you, to leaflet and campaign against you, to oppose you in anyway we can that precludes violence, and we will use every power within the law to defeat you......simples

an another one from 'mad ramblings'

Marianne Faithful FOREVER X !

Re-dicovered stuff...

I rediscovered something I wrote many years ago regarding 'social inclusion'(I use the inverted comma's intentionally). It is a document entitled 'Mad Ramblings of a Menopausal Mother', I was writing down these frustrations many years ago and many of them are still the same....

'Social Inclusion, under Major it was 'the classless society', but sorry this is not what we mean. We did not mean a society where 'cass' (however you define it) didn't matter, just one where it was ignored, similarly with social inclusion, only if you agree to play by the rules, if not we will punish you.... it is not our problem, it you who cannot fit in, not us with our impossible rules.'

Happy Shiny People Again

I keep forgetting the world really is full of happy shiny people and that it doesn't actually take much, on a day to day basis, to help people be happier and shinier..... the wonderful community that is the United Kingdom, for those of us that are proud to be part of this small collection of islands, to be tolerant, inclusive, opposed to injustice and unfairness, to be, as a community prepared to fight tyranny to the depths of our souls, regardless of prejudice.

To those bigotted individuals who claim to be patriots, who claim to be 'British' or 'English', there is no such race, and no such Nation. We are the United Kingdom, we are celtic. we are pict, we are roman, we are saxon, we are viking, we are irish, we are norman, we are welsh, we are scandinavian, we are scots, we are dutch, we are asian, we are chinese, we are afro carribean, we are african, we are jewish, we are catholic, we are protestant, we are methodist, we are quakers, we are hindu, we are buhdist, we are calvinist, we are muslim, we are jehovahs witnesses, but above all we are the Borg! Resistance is Futile!
