Another little blog of what I’ve been up to interspersed with a few links. As per usual, I hope you can find something to your liking among them.

Since my second edition I’ve been busy trying to work, sort out my garden and get the odd article up and running.

I was appalled to read in the UK Daily Express recently that we have been giving £280 million a year to India for “aid”.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no objection at all to us helping out other countries, even though we’re in pretty dire straits ourselves here in the UK. The thing that gets my goat is the fact that India have said they don’t want the money but the UK have insisted they take it!

The news at the moment is all about one man and his empire, and corruption that runs so deep it filters into the UK Government and even the Metropolitan Police. That man is Rupert Murdoch, an Australian political activist, is at the helm of most of the world's media.

Which puts him in the driver's seat for shaping the social, political and business realities of the world.
