War & Peace With Purple Marker Pens!

Looking back on this we didn’t have a clue about what would eventually happen! We now live in a country split, on the eve of leaving the EU with Boris at the helm! And it’s 1 2 3 what are we fighting for? Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn ….

A chat in the local pub tonight (Reform Inn Pilton) about whether to leave the EU or Stay! Isn’t it appalling that no one has received enough unbiased information with which to make an informed decision. Everyone is pushing their own selfish agendas. Oh what will happen to my shares? What will happen to my multi-million pound companies? Then recently; oh if we leave the EEEEOH our arts and creativity will be lost forever because of the massive loss of EU grants given to the top 0.000001% of performing artists! What about the thousands upon thousands of local artists that have never had a sniff of dosh from Brussels? Why haven’t we been given an unbiased leaflet through the post by all parties laying the pros & cons on the line. No; all we’ve been given is that ass wiping material which cost millions from the sodding Tory party. As usual you might as well throw a shiny sixpence in the air and shout head or tails. Our government and media have, as usual, furnished us with a massive disservice! A very important decision to be made and we’re fed sodding peanuts of information. We might as well be monkeys trying to rewrite the manuscript of War & Peace with purple marker pens!

Another thing, It’s on the eve of my annual Glastobash and there’s the EU Referendum coming towards us like out of control Aardvark on a motorway. I’ve already postal voted but the whole thing could have been much, much better.
Our Government, as a whole, have furnished us all with such a disservice they should be totally ashamed. They’ve lied, frightened and misinformed us. They’ve pursued their own financial ends, careers and are using it as obscene political one-upmanship. The debate, in my mind, has become sadly polarised. If you’re an INNER you’re branded as a coward who’s protecting your own selfish pocket and lifestyle. If you’re an OUTER then you’re a Nationalistic Racist who believes that you still have a viable British Empire, Britannia Rules The Waves whilst perpetually quoting, ‘We won the 1966 World Cup Final!’
Don’t get caught up with the ideals each politician is pretending to convey. Don’t be swayed to choose one side of the debate just because the opposing Politician’s ideas are downright idiotic and obnoxious. In my mind the whole bloody lot of them are NOXIOUS! As I’ve said before the Government, as a whole, have let us as a Nation down in our hour of informational need. Through their incompetence the EU coin has been thrown high into the air. Where it lands will be anybody’s guess! When you vote forget the dogma, misinformation and those dubious political personalities, vote with your own conscience and heart. The rest is all political smoke and mirrors! June 20th 2016 8:45 pm

Has Someone Eaten Junior?

Well sitting out in the warm infrared of an evening sun when suddenly from over the fence comes a desperate fledgling! The look of terror in it’s eyes and behind it, a muthafukka sparrowhawk. Then the obligatory puff of feathers and it’s history. Cue said sparrowhawk flying into the sun with a limp sparrowette in its well manicured talons.
Three minutes late the sparrow family arrive on our feeders, ‘Have you seen junior lately?’ Mother says to Father.
‘No’, says Father, ‘I expect he’s packing his bags ready for our winter flight out to the South of France.’
‘How odd’, says Mother sparrow, ‘I thought we were purely residential to the UK?’
Father sparrow replies quietly, ‘Well after Brexit I think we may have to leave the UK!’
‘Anyway’, replies Mother, ‘Where is Junior? I’m a little concerned that he may have got a little lost.’
Father reassures Mother and they continue eating seeds from our bird feeder.
Meanwhile in a Sparrowhawk nest not far from you a poor nestling is being eaten rather slowly and sadistically by a couple of Sparrowhawk chicks. Junior thinks, ‘Bloody hell I didn’t expect that to happen. A beautiful evening not a care in the world and this f..king happens! I suppose the South of France is out of the question now!.
Yet another puff of feathers explodes from a predators nest as Junior expires.
Back at the feeder. ‘Are you sure Junior is OK Father? I do hate it when they’re out of my site.’
Father sparrow replies confidently, ‘Relax Mother, give him a few minutes and he’ll come fluttering by, what’s the worse thing that can happen to him?’

General Erections!

Another thing …
It appears to me that this election is becoming a political farce akin to the recent Brexit vote with the political parties refusing to divulge, through choice or ignorance, what they truly intend to do once elected. With this misinformation and policy avoidance we’re left to voting for fantasies of what we personally perceive our chosen parties will do. This is far from ideal. We wax lyrical about the wonders of the election process yet distrust the very people we vote for. To be able to vote successfully we must have concise, honest information with which to make proper choices. With such foggy information abound the political parties hope that social classes will eventually vote for their own stereotypical parties. It makes me laugh how many people on Farcelook try and use their overbearing influence to try and convert others to their own misinformed political fantasies. Others merely sneer and offer poor alternatives to other’s opinions. My advice, go to the polling station, blindfold yourselves and pin the tail on the bloody donkey! 😎 After all, the Government always gets elected!
