Dangers of Carbon Monoxide

A few visits from British Gas over the last couple of weeks and in the end I've gone and got  a Carbon Monoxide detector - fairly easy to fit and the advantage is it also tells us the temperature in the kitchen.

Looks alarming?

Downside bit big and ugly - still we'll be safe.

That EU thing - come on, a Posh boy Feud is no good reason to leave the EU

Well I've not been going on about the EU Brexit process but recent conversations and e-mails have meant that it's back

Let's think again-it was a false premise 

 on my mind.


The point is that it does seem that the UK population has been sold a 'pup' (clear to me at least).


David Cameron who as leader of the Tories and UK and NI Prime-Minister  was sufficiently arrogant to think that he could swing his party and the country behind a remain vote got  it wrong. One of the miscalculations he seems to have made is that his fellow old Etonian, Boris Johnson  could not stomach voting with Cameron (or so the Mail newspaper reported).

We've now got a scared looking PM who looks increasingly to be a hostage to the real  'extremists' people like Iain Duncan-Smith MP (now looks like he made a tactical exit from the DWP), strident Bernard Jenkin MP and the cartoon-ish MP for the 19th Century Jacob Rees Mogg

So the sad position we're in is (perhaps) largely down to a Schoolboy feud between two posh boys - the mislead voters in the poorest parts of the country will be hit hardest and the fictional £350m per week for the NHS will never materialise.

What has been brought to my attention is that plenty of 'informed' people have a hope that things can be turned around, my view is that this won't happen with the Tories - where right wingers far more doctrinaire than the Labour left will not be happy with any result  and will continue to try to take the UK to a place where 'Johnny Foreigner' is subservient to the British Upper classes.

We can not make progress in the UK with Conservatives in the driving seat with their deep-rooted prejudices and ill considered  economic analysis of the Global economy.

Boris - His head on a stick 

Speaking with friends I find many are irritated some who  might be characterised as typical  'leavers' are from this , some are very irritated at what she felt were the 'lies' pedalled in the campaign.


They wonder why areas like Wales in receipt of EU grants and East Anglia, reliant on EU labour should vote in such numbers for the detrimental effect it's likely to have on their own local economies.


Many see Boris and Nigel Farage  being in the same boat as far as  misleading us about the benefits of the world beyond EU borders.


Enlightened observers  feel for people in UK who arrived from other countries and are now made to feel unwelcome.


A good friend of mine from my days working in France left London for retirement to Germany last week - he very unhappy with direction of UK's travel too  -so unless enough Tories show backbone, and  remain true to their beliefs we're in for a rough ride.

Enough for a while!
