Yes ‘Errol’. . But we do need a few more ‘Indians’ and a few less ‘Chiefs’. . Those drawing these fat Salaries from the top down should get the job done or resign. . . . The money would soon ‘loosen up’. . . .

And Doctors not working weekends anymore is like Churches closing on Sundays. . . . . If they want the money they should do the job. . .

I should like to meet your aunty Lillian ‘Errol’. . . I have come to the conclusion she is a very astute lady. . . . Maybe she could become an adviser to the next Government. . . . The incompetent crowd we have in government at the moment make new law at an alarming rate. . . . We have very nearly become a Police State for the law abiding. .

Of course it’s very different if you are a Shop Lifter. . . There aren’t enough prison cells. . .

Now steady on ‘Errol’. . . . Blair is doing a difficult job sorting out the mess he’s created. . . And we do want the Pakistani cricket team to entertain us. . . . . But I’m not really interested in the internal squabbles of the Labour party; . . . . particularly where Margaret Beckett is concerned. . .

. . Charles Henry 1945-(diuturnity)

You are so right ‘Errol’. . . . The Cabinet are like headless chickens running around in ever decreasing circles. . . . The problem we have is ghettoism. . . The solution is now far too radical for those of this political persuasion. . . . . They satanised Enoch Powell when he tried to warn everybody. . . We don’t quite yet have the ‘Rivers of Blood’ scenario it is true; but the complacency and acceptance they have all shown in the face of the endemic race crime is quite disgraceful.

There are always enough policemen and ‘jobsworths’ to prosecute speeding motorists. . . That is a measure of the level of intellect by which we are now all governed; and the impoverished level of decency to which this country has been allowed to fall. . . . ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans’ we were always taught. . . There is never ever a mention now. . . It’s as if they have all tried rewrite history and play ‘God’. . .

. . Charles Henry 1945-(diuturnity)

Now that is a slur ‘Errol’. . . We want none of that! . . . But the umpire’s decision is always final, and it’s a great pity they didn’t remember that. . . . . There is no smoke without fire; and we can’t have a situation where umpires are afraid to act incase they are accused of racism. . . Ball tampering is nothing new and certainly not restricted to any foreign teams. . . The name Atherton comes to mind. . . Your Aunty Lil would have given them all a hard slap. . .

Dear Editor

In response to, ‘Lib-Dems will make taxes fairer’; August 18th.

The main reason that taxes have become such a burden to so many in recent decades, Councillor McGail, is nothing to do with fairness; it is because of the relentless and insidious growth of the Government machine and the public sector. If the anti-farming lobby really want to talk about subsidies they need to first look at the excessive, so-called going rate, so many public servants seem to believe they are somehow entitled to! . . If you wanted to be a millionaire, a career in the public sector or with the BBC was not what you pursued. . . How times have changed!

Yours

Charles Henry

Indeed ‘Errol’. . . Why do we bother with them. . . We have been at war with them for centuries. . . A more selfserving Nation it would be hard to find. . . Is it any wonder the civilised world speaks English. . .

No well he wouldn’t would he ‘Errol’. . . You can’t get blood from a stone !! . . . But as unemployment begins to rise, and the debt levels are increasingly exposed. . . . Gordon Brown will be like a wounded animal taking ‘food’ from the very weakest in society, as he struggles to survive. . . . The time is coming. . . The piper has to be paid. . .

WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS - “Don’t set your own rules when you are someone’s guest. The proverb has been traced back to the 1530 ‘Commonplace Book’ and it is first cited in the United States in ‘Voyages of Radisson’ (1885). The proverb is often attributed to Saint Ambrose (c.340-397), whose advice to Saint Augustine read: Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more; si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi (’When you are in Rome live in the Roman style; when you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere’) English diviine Jeremy Taylor (1613-67) also used the proverb.”

From “Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings” by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).

The pressures remain and now they span the world. . . . It is ‘The Travellers’ who must expect to adapt I believe; . . . The ‘Romans’ may change a little over time and ‘ROME’ will certainly evolve, but in its own good time!

Go for it ‘Errol’ !!! . . . After England not wanting to offend other cultures by putting up Xmas lights and, after hearing that the State of South Australia changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver’s licence with her face covered, it prompted the following editorial written by an English citizen published in an English newspaper.

All this was once covered by the old proverb; . . . “When in Rome, do as the Romans.". . . Why is it I wonder; that some people object to this, and find it so difficult to understand?

Quote: (more…)

Yes ‘Errol’; exactly right! . . The Home Secretary’s almost ‘State of the Union’ address today; set out all the excuses for this country’s decline. . . . The sickening thing is that he is part of the very political class who’s Liberal views have gradually undermined and destroyed almost everything that was good about this now dis-United Kingdom. . . Today he made a speech that was designed specificaly to lay blame for this country’s ills and moral decline, and drift into anarchy and terrorism; on everybody and everything except himself and people like him.

The ‘Lunatics have taken over the Asylum’ I’m afraid ‘Errol’.

No ‘Errol’, that is no more than I expected. . . and it is precisely the ignorance that the Bank of England, the High Street Banks and the Government are depending upon to keep them all in Luxury in their ‘Ivory Towers’.

The Real Interest Rate is the difference between the underlying inflation rate, (the figure they use when negotiating wage settlements) and the actual rate you pay. . . When berating Norman Lamont and the Conservatives for the 15% ‘blip’ during the ERM debacle, they always conveniently forget to mention that the Inflation rate was close to 10%. . . The Banks are now making fortunes, whilst British Industry gradually disappears. . . How can anybody be ‘guaranteed’ to make a profit on their ‘Stock in Trade’?. . . They are like a Mafia. . . . They have a guaranteed, Inflation Proofed ’slice’ of everyones trade. . . Gordon Brown may yet prove to be the most Dangerous and incompetent Chancellor this country has ever known. . . He forgets; much of this country’s greatness was built on NEGATIVE Real Interest Rates. . . .
