Holidays are always necessary for the workers. They are not necessary for anyone else. I can see why living in a city getting to a warm beach must be a gratifying experience but the beach is there 24/7 and so are you so how come you aren’t always on holiday? Because the system doesn’t allow…

How We Are Brainwashed
I recall meeting a 14 year old American at school who could not believe no one knew who Paul Revere was (albeit now we know a woman rode further and faster than he) I told him that you cannot expect a country to teach its children about its defeats. I didn’t realise at the time…
Is This News?
Starmer, the lacklustre Prime Minister of the UK, faced a rebellious vote on his dyability reforms and so he came to a compromise with the rebels which they accepted. News outlets in the UK said this has undermined his authority. They could have said this is democracy in action. They could have asked why he…
Worrying Trend in the NHS
In 2023 PULSE ran a survey in which a quarter of GPs responded they have private medical insurance, citing concerns around waiting lists and the level of treatment available on the NHS, a Pulse survey has revealed.

I am…
How little They Know

Therefore if things happen that go agaisnt the thrust of their religious tenets the wholly natural conclusion is they are at fault – they have not been dutiful enough to the…
Recycle
Days recycle themselves, hours multiple in the same fashion, animals including us birth and dust a vast timeframe of sameness for the time the earth exists. The Universe itself is continually rolling over itself like an eruption breaking down to refashion itself in a hot temper and erupt again. It is no wonder peoples think…
Again
I have listened to a number of journalists and political commentators, all of whom come up with the question, what will Iran do now? and all of them look at the obvious. Iran will not look at the obvious, If it cannot win, it will hurt so its primary outlet will be huge support for…
