Obscene Queenie...



Prompted by this with thanks to Dave Ofthefamily LeadinghamAnonymous United Kingdom:

My response:
"Obscene Queenie...
Nothing against the royals, they do have a place in a true democracy if they actually made a profit...
It is beyond comprehension that just the Queen costs us £37 million and is even allowed to keep her own profit of £13 million...
Perhaps they should be privatised Mr CaMORON?
Such incredible amounts of taxpayers' money are a kick in the teeth for every person in the UK; especially children; living below the poverty line and going hungry or even up to a decent basic life.
They should not have this carp rubbed in their faces all day everyday...
Every person in a very rich country should have the basics; even prisoners get way more than that (it costs at least £35,000 to keep even each very low security prisoners who get way above the basic standards of living, including at least three very good meals, clean and warm accommodation, even entertainment etc.)...
There goes the 'benefit scrounger' label flying straight out the window to join all those pigs that keep learning how to fly... "

RIP Picky... 22 October 2014



Keven 'Pukka'/'Picky' Pickford...

The world has lost a gentle soul,
the sky has gained a bright star...

Think I've known Picky since I was 11, would be 35 years... A true gentleman, great friend to me and we shared many laughs...

Quite a contradiction in that he was unassuming yet his great character shone through...

My sincere condolences to Kevin's family and friends...

This Facebook page and all the tributes so far show just how much he was/is still/and will be loved and respected by a huge part of the community for many different reasons...

RIP my friend; too young to be an angel but we all have to answer the call...xxx <3

NHS





NHS ‘Queue Jumping’

A random but very common example of the NHS today (has been getting worse, especially under the CONDEMS since May 2010 in case you were not aware)

Mrs Jones (a basic example of you, yours or I), NHS v Private



Watching 'QT' is probably not the best way for me to tackle such an emotive subject seeing in some quarters I am viewed as a cold hearted calculated journalist…

This precisely is my reason in that I am no longer bound by such and haven’t been for a long time J

Patients with any money (often begged, borrowed and offered from concerned relatives and friends) including those with policies, have always 'jumped the queue’...

Even if they then opt. to stay within the NHS (after jumping the queue, they are at the top because the consultant can, and always does that because he is in charge of his waiting lists)...

At that point the system becomes more unfair in that ‘Little Mrs Jones’ has to wait at least two years or more for a joint replacement but her neighbour who has a policy can afford his initial appointment and choose NHS or private care. Meanwhile 'Little Mrs Jones' has to endure excruciating pain and discomfort, lasting damage to her mobility as do the overwhelming majority of UK NHS patients with no money…


Now tell me which is right or wrong?

Not small at all...



We all mater...

I quite like being a tiny speck in an infinite universe with endless possibilities...

Not small at all...

Every piece as beautiful, terrifying and vital, essential for the whole...

A wrong brush stroke in the picture; dropped stitch in the tapestry; mis thread in the web or a clock tick a second out of time; an instrument a pitch out of tune...

Harmony, unity, one...

United as one divided by zero...xxx

(mater as in 'maternal')

The Angel...



The Angel…

The Dark Angel walked on but turned as he went, fleetingly acknowledged your existence and wondered why…

The Four Horsemen’s steeds paused out of stride and they looked at you and could not see why…

Charon refused your coin and would not let you pass…

You have no name in the next world that any will dare to speak…

In this you are ‘traitor’ the worst that men will speak...

Lynda Phillips; 4 October 2014…

Make of this as you will as it describes in my words many things…
