Having over the past couple of weeks time to read many newspapers and listen to both the USA and OZZY TV channels as well as SKY and BBC there is pattern emerging around the world which the UK news papers are not covering so here goes.
The Economy and INFLATION
The UK papers and TV Channels are full of cost inflation matters and everybody is blaming anything from Brexit to Boris to Ukraine and even Russia. What they don't point out that the US inflation is such that fuel is 2.5 times more than it was a year a ago. Two years ago you would pay less les USD 2 per gallon and now it is reaching USD 6 and for Diesel over USD 7 and of course the cost of running vehicles increases considerably and so the cost of transporting foodstuffs and anything else has also grown well beyond expectations. This matter is also reflected in a lot of countries around the world but where in the UK press do you see coverage of this??
Flights and Airport Delays
The ongoing problems at UK Airports is also a problem elsewhere in the world. Having been on a ship with guests from Australia, USA and other places they were all complaining of the same problems in their countries where Airlines have laid off staff and then unable to get them back or even attract new people to join so inevitably planned flights are cancelled due to lack of crew, airport staff of all types. I receive airline updates from various people and in the last week Amsterdam airport had to be closed as it could not handle the current load of passenger and in the end KLM the home carrier stopped allowing people to fly to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and all the all the planes flew empty back to their home station. It will take a long while for new crew and airport workers to be trained and have the required security checks before we ever get back to what might be considered normal.So please what has BREXIT got to do with it. People seem to have completely forgotten about the two year Pandemic screwing everything up.
Russia and PUTIN
What Putin has tried to do appears to be failing quite badly as they did not expect the rest of the world to get involved. It is clear that Putin is worried with no success, riots at home, the Russian economy falling to bits and even worse ladies unable to buy Gucci handbags and the like. At least Biden seems happy as he can now and does blame all the current inflation worries, cost of fuel and lack or baby formula (very bad at the moment in the USA and not improved by Government giving lots of stocks to arriving immigrants) on Putin irrespective of the fact that Trump started to allow oil from Alaska and so there would not have been a USA problem. In the last couple of days Biden has said the high cost of fuel is a good thing as it will help the drive to low emissions, Ha you tell that to the Americans who have no public transport anywhere near them and they fuel for their vehicle to get to work .Its a surprise Biden did not blame his son for the Ukraine war.
Depp vs Heard
Neither person came out of this court case looking good only it was surprising how many women are against Heard and supporting Depp and it was subsequently proven that Depp who may be a piss artist and a druggee was more likely to smash up a kitchen cabinet than hit his wife. Looking at Heard all she wanted was fame like another lady called Megan something or other who married a prince who she thought might be the right hand of God and help her get better paid film parts, oh boy was she wrong.
Boris and Local Government
Lets talk about local Government first, their are many County and Borough Councils who have borrowed money and poured into useless investments when in fact they money was to be spent on the community. Billions have been spent investing in Land, Buildings, Housing developments, Utility Companies etc . Even our local council ( Woking) has suddenly been recognised as a total failure by the investment in a huge Town center development which nobody needs or wanted and so its empty. Brilliant.
The party gate and Boris is one of the most stupid and embarrassing political issues to have hit the UK for some while. I accept he should have been perhaps a little more careful but the biggest problem is the bloody useless civils servants, Oh dear how ‘YES MINISTER’ is so true. I don't give a monkeys uncle if Boris had a pint after work, running the country is not like driving a bus, so give him some slack. When writing this there is planned a vote of no confidence this afternoon in Westminster and if they kick him out what even bigger idiot will they appoint…
You can see why I get angry…..
