Political Correctness not totallly in charge
In a break from the norm a high court has told a member of ROPMA that she cannot wear full Islamic dress to school. She claims her religious human rights are being breached. What a load of tosh. She wants to go to school the way she wants, let her go private.
It is nice to see the courts don’t agree with her.
2 commentsThe last 24 hours in G.o.D..’s life
To say the last 24-36 hours have been amazing would be to put it lightly. After last night’s activities, at about 4am, I had a shit-eating grin on my gob. Today’s development’s were in danger of turning my face into the Joker’s sans make-up. For once things went not only according to plan, but even better!
Our famous guitarist arrived spot on time at Wimbledon station, with all his kit and raring to go. After a few drinks (I was the only one drinking booze.), we went off to the studio and got cracking. Now I knew this guy was a shit-hot guitarist from seeing him play live with his band. What I didn’t know was how well he would work outside his own band. I suspected that besides keeping us in stiches with his odd sense of humour, he would fit well into the G.o.D. way of doing things. Fit well? The bloke fit like a well-worn pair of jeans. Not only did he lay down guitars on three tracks, he managed to have time to do guitars on a fourth track. Since it was pretty seat of the pants he was able to come up with original music on the go. I am pleased to say that I made some suggestions musically in a way that was easy to understand. At about 7:30, he left us with a very positive vibe going. I am sure said fellow will be involved again. John and I stayed up to 4am working on the tracks. They now sound like almost complete songs which is trs cool. We plan to have em’ down and dusted by early July.
While the lads were laying down the licks, I took the oppotunity to ring blogger/guitarist Mike to talk about his coming over for the recording of the album. He may (possibly with his band,) become part of the circus that is G.o.D.
I came home this afternon thinking of having a quiet one wrestling with my domestic chores and logistical crap. Fat chance! I got an email, from a record company interested in our band, offering the lead vocal spot for a summer tour with a band “between singers.” I think I am just getting over the shock. I am seriously looking at the offer, after chatting to my bandmates.
I know this may sound odd, but I am hoping for rain. The pollen in London is murder right now, and a few days respite will help my pipes. All of you join in that hope…for the band’s sake, of course!
2 commentsMay feeble, nah…
From a Torygraph Leader:
Theresa May failed most conspicuously at Transport, even though she was shooting at an open goal, given New Labour’s feeble record there.
The trouble with May is that she is useless at pretty much everything, besides being the token woman. Can’t the Tory Party find someone else to fill that role in the cabinet?

5 commentsBruges Group on EU election
The people have spoken
Across the European Union the people have spoken, if mostly in silence. And the politicians, the establishment, the euro-elite do not like what they are saying. Nor do they like to be reminded that they are dependent on the people for their power and position.
In the United Kingdom the vote for the European Parliament went up, at least partly because of the coincidence with the local elections. Even with all of that, there was only 40 per cent turn-out. The legitimacy of the European Parliament is not acknowledged by most voters in this country.
The rise in the turn-out can also be attributed to the number of people willing to vote for the UK Independence Party, whose clear call for the countrys withdrawal from the European Union seems to be heeded by more people than politicians find comfortable. They prefer to think of various spurious reasons for the result.
In fact, it is all very simple: euroscepticism is growing in the United Kingdom not because of fear of enlargement or of mass immigration; not because of xenophobia; not because of little Englandism. It is growing because more and more people are taking the trouble to find out what the European Union is about and decide that they do not like the inward looking, statist, protectionist, over-regulated, sclerotic political, social and economic structure that it has developed into.
The politicians of this country must pay heed to the voters clearly expressed views on European integration and the whole European project.
But the eurosceptic movement must not rest on its laurels. We have done the easy part: we have shown the European Union up for what it is and the British electorate, as, indeed, the electorate of other member states, has accepted it. We must now produce ideas and policies that are feasible alternatives to Britains membership of the European Union.
The Bruges Group, as the leading eurosceptic think-tank in the United Kingdom will now turn its attention to producing policies that will be acceptable to the people of this country in their newly assertive, eurosceptic mood.
