Politics is a Mess.

The world has gone totally mad. The west is up in arms over what Assad and Putin are allegedly doing in Syria while selling what amounts to weapons of mass destruction to Saudi Arabia for them to carpet bomb Yemeni civilians. Also, 'coalition' (NATO) forces are bombing Isis fighters in the Iraqi city of Mosul putting the lives of up to one million civilians still living in the city, at risk. This is fully justified by Obama while, when Assad and Putin are trying to rid Allepo of Isis, it's called a crime against humanity. The double standards of western governments is staggering. The western mainstream media are willing participants in this charade. The sad thing is that millions of people believe wholeheartedly everything they are told. Sadly, this story will run and run.
The UK is in the throws of trying to decide how we will leave the EU. The rhetoric surrounding this is becoming more and more acrimonious by the day. Both sides of the argument are trading insults and forgetting exactly what they are supposed to be doing, and that is, ensuring that the UK leaves in a dignified and fair manner. In a sentence, both sides are being childish in the extreme.
I'm starting to get angry about it all and so I will finish for the time being.

UK Institutional Elite Perpetrated Child Abuse

I have been avoiding this subject for too long but, it's now time to give it an airing.
This will be the first in a series of posts about this subject.
This has been a scandal that has been bubbling just under the surface for decades and it was only the uncovering of Jimmy Saville's vile excesses that has at last brought it to the surface. The extent of his crimes are even now still being uncovered. Among the other people accused of child sex abuse (CSA) are now dead Liberal Party politician Cyril Smith, now dead Conservative politician Leon Brittan and Labour Party peer Lord Greville Janner. Due to Janner's "dementia" the justice system have declined to prosecute him despite incontrovertible evidence that proves his guilt. This is despite Lord Janner attending the House of Lords to vote on issues a total of 203 times in the last year, also claiming his £300 per day expenses. When he was first named in the press, he then had the presence of mind to sign the deeds of his properties over to his relations.
Unfortunately since starting this post, Janner himself has died.
    The so called "Independent" public enquiry into historical child sex abuse has been beset by controversy. I think we are now at chairman number four as for one reason or another the first three have seen fit to resign.
The enquiry is due to publish it's findings I think in 2020. I won't be holding my breath.
Till next time.
