What is Andy Burnham really saying?

I can't bear to watch Andy Burnham and listen to him drone on about... Well, nothing actually. What are his plans for the country? Does he know? The United Kingdom hasn't even elected him.

This very fact should grate against his soul every time he looks in the mirror at the smarmy geezer grinning back.

Andy Burnham - like so many people in politics today - wants only to be Prime Minister and the perks that come with the job. I don't hear him saying he CARES about BRITAIN. Rather, he goes on and on about the Labour party and how much he cares about it!

Frankly, that disgusts me. And here is the very simple reason why: We, the good people of Britain, care about this great nation more - much much more - than we do the Labour party.

Infact, we don't give a toss about that party or any party. Why the hell would we? All we want is a Real Leader (from any party) to Lead the country to better times. More Productive times. This country should be Excelling. Instead, we seem to be on a constant down-low and I blame (what I call) these psuedo, uncaring, clueless, cowardly politicians that want only fame, perks and a good job title.

We, the people of Britain, want a better calibre of politician than we've been forced to put up with in the last ten years. Indeed, we Deserve better politicians and a better Prime Minister. Further more, This is what we are DEMANDING of them Now.

I for one, certainly Don't want an upstart that never got there rightfully by way of a General Election and who doesn't know that there is a whole world out there, beyond Manchester.

Andy is sure going to find that out very soon. God help us.

Solar Eclipse! (12th August 2026)

I had never seen a partial solar eclipse in my life before - let alone a full one. Then yesterday for the first time, I saw a 96% solar eclipse and it's made my year. Really. I just happened to be here in West England; right place, right time. Lucky me. And it was spectacular. I was bowled over. However, at the end of the most beautiful and wondrous day of probably my whole life (to date), a couple of older guys I was with told me they were actually "disappointed". They actually used that word: Disappointed. Their word not mine. I was shocked, I couldn't believe it. "Why??" I asked. Turns out they'd seen the solar eclipse in 1999. "It was way better," they said. I must say, I was a bit miffed by that. I mean, come on guys, you're not judging a light show or a firework display!! 1999. Some of us weren't even alive back then. Here, I have to interject with an existentialism moment. I mean, to think that all of life and the universe wa...

Heatwave!

There have been Red weather warnings and schools have had to close as temperatures hit over 35C around the UK today and much of the same is expected tomorrow - only more so. That's right; it's gonna get hotter. I am astonished at the number of people out and about in this heat! I can only think that there are only four reasons so many of you are out there. 1. You're ding-bat crazy. 2. You're testing your heat tolerance levels because you get a kick out of that... And because you're also a bit crazy. 3. When the Earth is boiling and more like the Earth depicted in the film "Interstellar", you can tell your grandkids all about the good old days when the temperature was only 35C. And 4. Maybe you're that rare type of person that actually likes the heat. Whatever your reasons, I'm reminded of that phrase that comes tinged with admiration: "Only mad dogs and English men/women go out in the midday sun." ...

Cloud and Rain!

I have written about the recent hot spell of weather in UK and Europe. I know a lot of people are still affected by the heatwave and even wildfires. You have my sympathy. As do the farmers, whom I feel for the most. But in my part of England we have had cloud and even rain for a couple of days now. I tell you: it's delicious. So please excuse me while I enjoy it for a bit longer and bask in the joy of taking a long walk in the cool of the afternoon. It's a pleasure to feel the wet of the spattering rain on my bare arms and face. It's also refreshing and freeing to not have to wear sunglasses or a hat or even sun protector cream. It isn't a down pour but rather a soft gentle wispy on-going rain - the kind that regularly falls in Ireland and the lovely locals stand around outside in it, chatting to one another without a care in the the world. I'm enjoying this weather change now, while I can, because I suspect it is but a brief interlude and we will soon enou...
