A new season of Premiership Football is about to kick off, the new series of X Factor is currently being recorded in readiness for it?s usual 3 month run up until Christmas, Eastenders continues it?s relentless broadcast of BBC propaganda and the benefit cheques arrive in their millions ? unabated, despite the government promising otherwise.


So that?s 90% of the UK population happy with their lot then. Another 5% are happy with their lot because the aforementioned 90% are happy with their lot ? by design ? whether they voted for them or not, another 4% are just happy because their drug habit cons them into thinking that they are, which leaves the final 1% reaching for their keyboards to log on to the internet ? in attempt to inform the 90% that they need to wake up and smell the coffee.


But, will they ever listen. In fact, do they even want to listen. I?m beginning to wonder because history tells us that this has been going for some little while:


?Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions ? everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses?


Juvenal ? 100 A.D.


I don?t know what the answer is but I do know for certain that I?m definitely in the 1% that will continue to shout as loud as I can until an officer of the, soon to be formed, European Union Police Force rolls up with a 4?4, ties a rope to my keyboard and pulls it from my cold, dead hands.


Meanwhile, I?m off to grab the biggest tub of popcorn I can afford so that I can watch the continuing battery of hysteria surrounding the American downgrade from AAA to a Duracell AA ? amidst rumours that the USA will also be downgraded from a Super Power to a Wind Power and Barack Obama from President of the USA to a ?jug eared half Kenyan half wit? with a teleprompter addiction.


Incidentally, nothing on the current economic meltdown (Euro, Dollar or otherwise) from Cameron, Osbourne, Miliband Minor, Balls, et al ? I guess they?re all on holiday ? burying their heads on a sandy beach somewhere.


Oh well, happy days.


X Factor starts soon...

    • Thanks for your feedback - we always appreciate hearing from members about their experience. The pool temperature at JAGS Sports Club is maintained at 29oC, in line with industry guidelines for mixed-use pools.  This temperature has been designed to balance comfort for lane swimmers and families. Air temperature is also monitored regularly to ensure a comfortable environment for swimmers, spectators and staff. The shower Temperature Mixing Valves (TMVs) were changed in December to improve consistency, and we hope this has made a noticeable difference. If you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please contact us directly at [email protected] or 020 8613 6500 and we'll be really happy to help.  
    • One wonders if he would have defected if he had, ahem, held on to the leadership of Southwark and whether he felt that "Labour are no longer the vehicle for social justice" during his leadership election........my how quickly things change in the thoughts of a politician 😉 I think this sums things up quite nicely: A senior Southwark Labour spokesperson hit back: “Local residents can draw their own conclusions about Cllr McAsh’s swift move from Labour leadership hopeful to the Green Party, after he didn’t get his own way. While he’s thinking about his own career, Southwark Labour are delivering for residents.” One wonders if he will stand as a Green candidate in Goose Green.
    • No doubt if he determines to stand for a ward he will enlighten us - at least his track record is one of using this site to communicate (inter alia). I would suspect that (1) his personal views on traffic will have remained consistent but that (2) his views on local democracy and proper consultation will have as well.
    • Yes, but I want to know where he stands on all this stuff now. My feeling is it won't be any different from Labour?
