Squirming...

 

Poor old Nicola, her hubby, Peter Burrell, has been arrested! 

I first mentioned the dubious goings-on in the Sturgeon household back on 21st February 2023, in my piece entitled 'Thank goodness'.

The fragrant Ms Sturgeon was on Laura Kuenssburg's Sunday morning BBC show yesterday, in which she stated that she had absolutely no idea that her hubby had been stealing Hundreds of £Thousands from the SNP's funds. Well, she wouldn't would she!

His biggest purchase was this huge Camper Van (seen from space), which cost over £120.000. It was parked at his parent's home (above), where Nicola claims not to have noticed it. On visiting her in-laws, she says she never saw it. Well, it is only the size of a London Bus.

Amongst other things he bought for himself were a Pencil Sharpener for £110, a set of Salt and Pepper grinders for £2,600, a Model Helicopter for £550, a Beatles souvenir Fountain Pen for £1,500, and another Skywalker Pen for £4,200, and a Telescope for £1,200. It's a very long list.

Ms Sturgeon claims not to have known anything about where all this spending money came from, even though he had a history of being 'light-fingered'. I believe he allowed about £1,500 to accidently fall into his pockets whilst working for Alex Salmond in the 1990's.

The two questions that all sensible people are now asking are 1, How on earth did he think he'd get away with it?, and 2, How did Sturgeon not notice that £400,000 worth of goodies suddenly appeared at their marital home?

What I do know, is that if Lady M came home with a £120,000 Camper Van, I'd feel inclined to ask where she got the money. Wouldn't you?

Some wag has suggested that he bought the Camper Van to stash all his 'swag'. They could be right.

Ms Sturgeon has now moved down from Scotland to London. Sensible wee gal. Scottish Independence no longer appeals!

A Tricky Question....

 

Now, this might sound like a really silly question, but it's one of the great debates in British politics.

Which of these TWO PROPOSALS would you prefer; or even sounds the more sensible?

1. The UK buys oil from Russia, so that Putin has plenty of money to spend on killing people in Ukraine.

2. We drill our own oil in the North Sea (of which we have lots), giving work to thousands of UK workers.

Honestly, this really IS a serious question, and it explains perfectly the difference between the UK's Communist Socialist Party, and the UK's Tory Party. One would prefer to financially support a nasty genocidal regime, whilst the other prefers to support their own country's economy.

I really don't know what more I can say! The whole country is STUNNED!

Which way would you go; pro-Putin, or pro-your own country? Tricky eh........

Jet Harris

Some people may remember Jet Harris.

I've just found this video of Cliff and The Shadows, showing my old friend Jet on bass.

Jet is the small blonde. He was booted out of The Shadows in 1962, after having become unpredictable and uncooperative; I think through drink and drugs. He later teamed-up with the band's drummer Tony Meehan.

He was a nice enough person, but one always felt that there was something going on inside his head that you didn't want to know about. We were good friends, then one day he suddenly disappeared.

Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin, and Bruce Welsh are still around, but Jet died in 2011. The band's drummer Tony Meehan died back in 2005.

Their music seems very 'mild' these days, but back in the 60's it was the coolest sound on earth (well, almost).

 

Cute Kitten.

I'm under attack again from left-wing woke lovies at the moment, so, as is my wont, I am offering this cute kitten video to see if they can possibly find some idiotic lefty thing to moan, or say about it.

 

In the Summertime.

In 1970 Lady M and I were still at college, where one of our good friends was a lovely Greek girl who would boil-up Greek Coffee in a little pot (in the studio), and play this record over and over again.

It now totally represents that year of our studies (our degree year), and brings back so many memories.

So here is Mungo Jerry (Ray Dorset singing), and their HUGE HIT; In the Summertime. Enjoy.

 

It's just not fair.

The West Midlands Police really are very mean. This nice young man, in the video, was out for a bicycle ride, when, out of the blue, he was savagely attacked by a Policeman, and pushed off his bike.

Apparently he had just found a bag, and was no doubt en route to the Police Station to hand it in.

Well, you can just imagine his surprise when the bag was found to contain a hand-gun. Where on earth did that come from??? You can see the shock on his face.

I'm sure they'll try to accuse him of being naughty, and arrest him for possession of a firearm. He looks like such a nice young man too. 

To add insult to injury, they're now going to make him spend five years in prison; just for finding someone else's bag, which happened to contain a gun.

Is there no justice in the world !!!

 

NIMBY?

I know I've mentioned this before, but this time it's even more personal.

First it was at my people's house in Shropshire where a 'Traveller' threatened to do serious damage to me, after I'd discovered him moving onto a small field at the bottom of our garden. It was a very unpleasant experience; he was a BIG man, and he wasn't kidding.

Then after this recent long Bank Holiday weekend, I see that some of them have moved onto a field in our lovely old Sussex village (above).

West Chiltington is a very pleasant, quiet (and expensive), village. It is filled with very beautiful old houses, and pristine gardens. The residents are mostly good honest middle-class professional folk, who care deeply about their surroundings. It is regarded as one of the most desirable villages in Sussex. This very pleasant house (below) is typical of the houses in West Chiltington (it was ours).

Then along comes this bunch of law-breaking, so-called, 'Travellers', who put two fingers up at authority, and dump tarmac over a large area, put up fences, and illegally invite their pals to buy a 'plot'.

This MUST NOT BE ALLOWED.

Sadly, no-one is prepared to go in and boot them out, and force them to return the field to its original condition.

Just imagine if YOU owned that lovely old farmhouse in the top right of the top photo. One minute you have all the peace and quiet you desire (and have paid through the nose for), the next you have a bunch of criminals moving their caravans up against your back garden. That is an expensive house too!!!

I AM aware that it makes no difference whether or not the location is 'desirable' or not, but somehow because I lived there, and knew many of the residents, it does seem particularly outrageous.

If the Police can't deal with these people, then bring in The Army. They have all the heavy moving kit they need, and could tow away any vehicles within minutes. And I'm sure there's a local 'Crusher' not too far away.

In another part of Sussex, in Clayton (above), the little darlings have even invaded the local Cricket Pitch. Is there no end to their disgusting behaviour !!!

If the authorities simply do nothing, these scumbags will see it as a sign of weakness, and move on to yet another field or Cricket pitch; and do the same again. Someone needs to act AT ONCE.
