The Prime Minister’s at Bilderberg

Downing Street declined to give details: it’s a “private” meeting you see.

I wonder if the government has too much information. I don’t mean that Eric Holder is checking my Youtube Account for Porn. What I mean is have they set themselves up for missing the forest because of the trees with all the data they comb through? I mean how many folks are reviewing millions of Verizon phone calls when maybe just one of them could be checking daily flight lists for Chenchens? You feel me?

I do think the President deserves some gray hairs for the recent news cycle (IRS screw-up, Drone Missions, Gitmo Hunger Strikes, and the Phone Monitoring). He campaigned against a lot of that type of thing and proclaimed his love of transparency. What is good for the goose is good for the gander, so he deserves heat for screw-ups, both in politics and in plain common sense.

Does this phone monitoring really provide security dividends? I doubt it, it seems to me too broad to be effective. I’ll keep reading up on it and watch how it all plays out.

Wonderful day here, sun beaming down on me and time for a song…this is a favourite.

It’s working REALLY well. For some…

Criminal gangs from Romania are responsible for a boom in cash machine card thefts. Over the past year the number of thefts related to ATMs has trebled and police intelligence suggests more than 90 per cent are linked to Romanian immigrants. There were some 7,572 cash machine card thefts in the first four months of the year, up from 2,553 during the same period in 2012.

Next year will see the UK fully opened up to Romanian immigration with hundreds of thousands likely to come here. Hope the banks have got good insurances…

OK, I was wrong when I said Burqas were useless. They DO have a use.

An eyewitness has described the dramatic moment he filmed a gang of armed robbers dressed in burkas stealing tens of thousands of pounds of jewellery in a daring daylight smash-and-grab raid. 

Stunned Khalid Samata (Typical London name) said he heard an enormous bang and turned his camera phone on to video figures wearing Islamic dress axing their way into display cabinets at Selfridges department store in central London. Mr Khalid, 30, said: ‘I heard two loud bangs. The first sounded like someone had fallen from the first floor through a display cabinet. The second sounded more like a gunshot.

Interesting take here on the mood for Scottish independence as we approach the referendum next year.

Ah, I remember the old Theresa May. She was the Conservative who branded her own party “the nasty Party” and was an arch moderniser in the early Cameron years. But in recent times, Theresa has been a-changing and manoeuvring herself into position as a future leadership candidate when Cameron falls in 2015. Here she is on her latest wicket;

The Home Secretary demanded immediate action to end abuse of the EU’s free movement directive by people who come here with no intention of getting a job. At a meeting of European home affairs ministers in Luxembourg she highlighted how gangs of beggars are setting up camps in London to launch raids on the unsuspecting public. She is expected to outline a case in which Romanian fraudsters fleeced UK taxpayers out of £3million.

She can whistle in the dark. NOTHING will change until the day and hour the UK exits the EU and regains full control over its borders. It’s THAT simple and this is just vacuous political theatre providing red meat for the faithful. To borrow a phrase it is a tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Sorry Theresa but you may posture as a wannabe Thatcher but your track record shows me exactly what you are – just one more political opportunist on the make.

Yes, it’s what Northern Ireland has been CRYING out for – a new UNIONIST Party!  We just don’t have enough, do we? cough!

A new political party, formed by former Ulster Unionists Basil McCrea and John McCallister, has been officially launched. The two MLAs left the Ulster Unionist Party over a decision to field a joint by-election candidate with the DUP. They said their new party, NI21, would “offer a robust and constructive opposition” at Stormont. The party supports the Good Friday Agreement and believes Northern Ireland should remain part of the UK.

How radical! The media has been quite generous in providing these guys with profile, I’m not sure why. It is my view they will be obliterated at the next election and both Basil and John will lose their seats but keep the generous pay off that Stormont provides exiting MLA’s. This is the Alliance Party lite. The only opposition they supply is to reality. With the DUP supporting the Belfast Agreement, the UUP supporting the Belfast Agreement, do we REALLY need another pro-Agreement splinter within Unionism? The TUV opposes the provisions of the Belfast Agreement (rightly so) so I reckon all the electoral bases are covered! I’m not sure WHO would vote for the oddly named NI21 (Sounds like a road to nowhere) but I suggest that whoever it is it won’t be enough. I’m not writing this out of animosity towards Basil (who I know quite well) and John but just providing my own analysis.

Right then. The sun is out, the sky is blue, there’s not a cloud to spoil the view and….so what puts YOU in a good mood?

Music is more than the food of love – it is better than sex. Britons say that music is more likely to make them feel good than making love – and Abba’s Dancing Queen is the most upbeat track. Some 40 per cent of the 2,000 men and women questioned said that listening to their favourite songs lifted their mood, compared with the 20 per cent who said that having sex put a spring in their step.

I suppose one could have Abba playing whilst having sex?  Music does put me in a good mood for sure, and MANY songs cheer me up. Classical music puts me in a thoughtful and sometimes melancholic mood. Rock music puts me in a mood to get things done! Pop music often makes me nostalgic for my past! All different moods generated by the muse of music! I might also point out that watching Agnetha from Abba also put me in a good mood — dig it the dancing queen…

Everything that the Democrats and the left screamed bloody murder that the right and Bush would do, but never did. Obama and his minions are doing. Yet the majority of you defend him, and believe him persecuted.

We get the Government we deserve. We put the power into the hands of people we believe we can trust. My nation is a ticking time bomb internally. Half refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem, 25% are just ignoring it, and the other 25% have bought more guns and ammo in the last 5 years than in the 30 years prior. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
