I see a zimbabwean olympic swimmer has won three silver and one gold at the olympics. Trouble is she's white. She'd better watch out otherwise Mugabe will have those medals off her like he's taken all those farms off white farmers.

So, (YAWN), Madonna is fifty. Big deal. I've never been a fan and looking at her recent photos, and the interviews on TV, I think she'll probably get a pointed hat, black cat and broomstick for her birthday.

What a nasty,evil world we live in when one country can cause deaths of civilians, who were just going about their lives, then another country comes with a gigantic stick to crush the first country and cause more civilian deaths and make thousands more refugees/homeless. It makes me weep to see the pictures of those fleeing the violence or even the bodies lying around. OK, if armies want to fight each other then that's up to them but the poor civilians..................The women,children, old people.

I'm not particularly religious but if there really is a compassionate, superior being please wipe this evil from the world before evil engulfs all of us (this includes all wars going on at the moment).

Here we go again. The Human Rights court in Strasbourg having a say in the security and threat to British society by those who are vehemently anti british and encourage others to attack, injure, maim british citizens here or abroad.

Abu Hamza is an evil,dangerous, anti western rabblerouser who, along with his family, is sponging off those he despises and having a damned good laugh at our expense. But, because he has exhausted all legal means in Britain to stop extradition to the US, he has taken his case to Strasbourg and who knows how this court will decide. It could support Britain, but as we seem to be the only country in the EU who has signed up to the Human Rights act who actually obeys the laws it signed up to ( just look at France and the moslems and Italy and the Roma gypsies) they'll probably say not to deport AH, and our policians will doff their caps and say thank you very much.

Weak government? Can we get out of this act? If so the sooner the better. Keep british security decisions for the british. Don't let those who don't even live in our country decide if those who threaten our country and citizens can stay. Let's be allowed to kick them all out!

So far it's been a summer of firsts for me.

In June I played piano in a blues festival. Ok, it wasn't one of the national"big" blues events but it's a start and gave me experience and a realisation of what I need to do to improve and possibly aim towards eventually performing at a big event. A couple of things are holding me back,however. Firstly the club I attend have members that are Clapton/Buddy Guy devotees whereas my influences are more James Booker, Prof. Longhair and Otis Spann. Secondly it's getting over my reluctance to sing.There's a massive vocal defence that I'm desperate to get break through so if any you have any tips then let me know.

Last week I visited Liverpool for the first time and what a surprise. I expected a dirt, scruffy unpleasant city ('cos I'd been told that that was what it was like) but I found an interesting fascinating place. Mind you I did find the Beatles thing a bit overdone but I've never been a fan anyway.

I also attended my first blues festival at Upton on severn. An excellent day with some amazing performers.

As is obvious from a previous blog I'm not a fan of the organisation Liberty.

It's boss has been in the news a lot lately due to the 42 day detention debate, and vote, which resulted in the tory, David Davis, suffering a huge sulk and consequently has resigned and put himself up for re-election.

Ms SC supports Mr Davis fully and somewhere made a comment along the lines that 200 years of history has made our society free and fair and that we shouldn't allow an unfair ruling like the 42 day detention be passed.

What Ms SC fails to realise is that the people and governments for most of those 200 years were strong and respected and looked after the aims and rights of the British people, and they made the country what it is today. For the past 40 years there appears to be a gross weakening of government resolve to protect our interests, particularly since entering the EU and certainly since signing up to the human rights act that she appears to so vehemently protect. Our MPs are totally weak and pathetic and the likes of Pitt, Peel, Gladstone, George and Churchill must be spinning in their graves at the limp wristed way our governments of the last 40 years have run the country.

Ms Sc's parents came from India when the country was a lot stronger than it is now and it's the likes of her that is weakening this country and making it an international laughing stock.

I have an idea that the headlines in the papers the day after the Zimbabwe election may take the following form:

Monster
Underhandedly
Grabs
A
Bloody
Election.

Sad.

I saw the report the other day on the group Fathers for Justice protesting on the roof of Harriet Harman's house. While I don't have much sympathy for this group's methods I supported the way they took their fight to an MP. The MPs appear to ignore the voters so it looks like the only way they're going to listen is to be "in their face".

If the MPs don't start listening to the people they supposed to represent I expect more will do the same.

So,let me get this straight. Over 70% of the british population agree with the increase in detention to 42 days. Then why did our elected MPs, who are supposed to represent their constituents, decide that their own selfish interests come before their voters and voted against this measure.

I though this was a democratic country. Don't make me laugh. It appears to me as though we are represented by petty dictators who grab as much of the expenses they can lay their hands on and are keen to promote their self-interests, refusing to listen to the voters who put them there in the first place.

Just look at the debate on knife crime the other day. This is something that is of great concern to most of the population yet how many of our MPs could be bothered to turn up? Around 20.

Liberty (the organisation) is now redundant as an effective force in the fight for peoples' rights. They have fallen into the trap of supporting those minority of people who make the lives of the majority of ordinary people miserable.

The latest example is the mosquito machine. This generates a noise that mainly the under 25s can hear. It is normally installed where gangs of youths gather causing a nuisance for the rest of the community e.g. outside shops.

The noise from this machine ensures that the youths don't hang around too long and thereby create areas that the rest of the community can access without fear of abuse, misbehaviour, foul language and even threats from members of these gangs.

Liberty wants these machines outlawed because they infringe the human rights of these gang members even though they improve the rights, and lives, of the rest of the population.

RIP LIBERTY
