Socialists /Communist.
I have never met a true socialist or for that matter a true Christian all tight fisted gits.
Karl Marx, never actually did a days work, his family were not poor and he married into a wealthy family and had wealthy friends who bankrolled him through out his life, why his mother inlaw supplied a maid for them.
His mate Engels ran his fathers English Mill !! in Salford in the North of England, Engels was know to be lazy and would not turn up to his office until mid morning and would do little and be gone by mid afternoon. He also gave money to Marx.

Tony Wedgewood Benn, a man of the people ?
Gave up his title to sit as an MP, but kept the money, the land and the mansion.
His son is now the 3rd Viscount and could take his seat in the House of Lords.
Benn was a hypocrite of the first order.

The question is who will be gone first Charlie or the Citra company.

The Unions did not help either, no union really fought to keep jobs here and they were more than happy to have foreign workers here as long as they paid their dues each week .

Evergrande, could be Lloyds secret property company.

Which other main culprit did I miss out?.

The Far End
A lot of countries appear to have a tight labour market problem causing their persistent inflation.

And the destruction did not come about by accident, it was planned by politicians and Industry and bankers.
Off shoring of jobs and transfer of wealth started in the 70s but became the big thing, during Blairs reign 100.000s went over seas.
And remainers say that we would lose jobs by leaving the EU, the destruction of this country was carried out whilst we were in the various stages of the EUs members ship and development.
The UNs agenda 21 will see the transfer of $700 trillion from the West in the next 80 years and that is the UNs own assessment .
£13 billion per year x 10=£130,000.000.000 that is just foreign aid from the UK.

They don't make comedy anymore, mores the pity.

LLoyds in nautical terms is listing to port ,due to the cargo not being secured and moving.
If a ships officers handled a ship like the B of D of lloyd's do they would all lose their officers tickets.

There were some real characters , once likened the Merchant Navy to a floating Foreign legion , quite a few from all over the world all there for varying reasons. I went because I loved the ships and the travel, but it was an education in many ways.

Bringing back some memories this sunday.
On the MV Arawa, we had some transvestites mainly stewards, I was just a lad and had never come across anything like that in my short life. They would go ashore (in some ports) dressed as women with the wigs and make up on and they looked ok . On board they went under female names, they would make their own clothes on a sewing machine and put little curtains over the port holes , but they were sound blokes. But I did learn one thing, if you ever want to have a go at someone make sure you known to handle your self. I was in a bar one night and a couple of locals tried to take the pxss out of one called Patsy real name Jack, he floored the pair of them , they did not know what hit them.
I recited some stories to my parents when back home, my dad laughed my mothers face went some funny colour and she wanted me to get a proper job!.

There were still some old salts about when I went into the merchant navy as a lad.
There was a Master at Arms (Ships police man) who would tell us some stories, about the convoys etc, he said he was on a old freighter that did about 9knots, they were in a storm for three days and basically they did not move.
I did stand on the deck some nights when it was pitch black and wonder how it must have felt in WW2 knowing there could be something out there waiting to send you to the bottom, it was a sobering thought.
The only time I was scared on a ship, was one night in the Indian ocean, a warm night nice flat sea and I was standing at the aft of the ship looking at the water and the ships wake. I got a sudden urge to jump over the side into the sea, it scared me to death.
On WW2 the service that had the highest casualty rates was the Merchant navy. I was told, and they were treated like crap by the government . At one time they were offering prisoners £100 to sign on to a ship , and when a ship went down the men's pay was stopped at the moment the vessel sank. No pay for being in a life boat or dead !.

Good morning,I am up because the dog got me up(the one with four legs) here is a story and a true one which for obvious reasons I have never told my wife. Back in 1969 I was on a cargo ship and we docked in Wellington New Zealand, dropped of our final load of outward stuff. The crew were out at night and Wellington was a nice place the girls were very helpful, well a couple of the lads brought back 3 working girls to the ship and got them on board no security then! and we set off for a beautiful little spot called Opua . Which is around the coast to pick up a full load of fruit and lamb. Well back to the girls, they had a financially rewarding little cruise, they did not have much time for sun bathing, for they must have been very tired for they never left their cabin. And the lads were so concerned that there was always a line of boys taking them food and drinks. Well after arriving in Opua which is in the bay of Islands, they were very much better and left the ship smiling and all the lads were smiling too. I was about 17yrs old and I got my first smile.

Opinions are all we have, but I think many are coming around to the same opinion .

My personal opinion is that we are lacking any worth while politicians.
On Boris, I always considered him an idiot and a chancer and in my opinion I have been proven correct.
