On Being Fed Up

I am heartily sick of hearing about the Leveson inquiry. I know it has such a high profile because it is beloved of the Left and so the BBC major on every nuance, but really what is the point? So journalists hacked phones; that is a criminal matter for the police, lawsuits by those affected are a civil matter. Government collusion is a concern but, excuse me, I haven't actually heard much of substance there. We really must stop letting the shrieking of the Left affect our view of the world.

When New Labour came to power it was widely held that it was the support of the Sun that swung it and now we hear that Cameron and others had personal contact. This must come as a major shock to the country, close to a bear's activity in the woods, I should imagine. What we haven't heard is anything of substance. The Jeremy Hunt affair looks dodgy, but probably because it is.

Hunt has a guilty look that does his conscience, if not his integrity, a great service. The torturous way Cameron talks about it also suggests there is more to it, but we'll see. It might make some small point to the whole, expensive shebang.

Look, let us get this straight. If a Prime Minister can lie, openly and blatantly to Parliament and the country and in doing so take this country to war and we do absolutely nothing about it, why would we be concerned about a Prime Minister knowing a media tycoon? We haven't even locked Campbell up, for goodness sake!

Actually, on a separate note, is the vast amount of money Blair is getting paid and his 'Middle East' mission, based on him continuing to search Iraq for WMD's? You know, the ones he is certain are there? Here is what is apparent today though, with the benefit of hindsight and a better view of what, in any other country would be called criminal activity. In the Middle East there is a real threat from the very slightly unhinged regime in Iran.

This stands them apart from a long list of grasping malcontents who seem to run much of the area. They actively want to cause harm and want powerful weapons. So we invade the country next door which, whilst having a nasty, tinpot dictator in charge, was otherwise none of the above.

A constant stream of news emerges that ends with the word Pakistan, as in 'terrorists trained in', 'went to a camp in', 'assisted in terrorism by the security services of', 'bombers came from' and 'Osama Bin Laden found in'. So, once again, we invaded the country next door. Due to this new policy, all I can say, with one eye on the Eurozone situation, is that if the Germans kick off again, boy are Denmark in trouble.

Global Warming stopped in 1998. CO2 continues to go up, but the temperature doesn't. It's been warmer before. CO2 rises after the temperature does, not the other way around. Clearly we do not understand climate to any significant degree. So why are we still taxing and regulating and pumping money into Green activities and giving a mountain of cash to Green activists and academics?

(On the basis that there are obviously a lot of really stupid people out there; I have a few jars of Moonbeams for sale, at £1 million each. I collect them from cucumbers).
