thousands caught in Darfur Fighting
Just picked this up from CNN
An estimated 8000 refugees have been stranded on the Chad border by a fresh Sudanese offensive against the rebels. The Chadian Government is refusing entry to the refugees….
If there is such a thing as ‘A just war’ then surely we should intervene in Sudan? With 200,000 people dead and hundreds […] -

Obama wins again
So another state another victory…
How long do we have to wait for the Democrats to choose their champion? Barack Obama would be my choice of course, but I’m not good at predicting elections and I don’t have a vote in this one!
Wisconsin marks the 9th win in a row for the Obama camp. With Texas and Ohio […] -

Exercise is good for the mind
Sunshine and fresh air are good for mental health as well as physical wellbeing.
It’s not ‘Rocket Science’ (I just love that phrase… I should know!) but even these days many people don’t understand the link between the body and the mind.
MIND (the mental health charity) has recently campaigned on the subject of ‘ecotherapy.’ A good […] -

Nationalise and be damned….
Well Mr Darling has finally plucked up the courage to do what ‘Our Vince’ told him to do months ago…
So Northern Rock is to be taken into temporary public ownership. Good. Now the taxpayer has the assets as well as the liabilities.
Poor old Labour must be dreading the ‘Murdoch Press.’ We will have to […] -

More ‘Cold’ Calling…!
Nothing like a bit of canvassing to warm the blood on a cold winter day!
Yes it is true… I do work ‘all year round.’ and in all kinds of climatic conditions (Exception being freak electrical storms…)
Today I put in a good 3 hours. Knocking on the doors of the good folk of Rodborough. I didn’t stop […] -

Something that might go bang in the night….?
Or the day, depending on orbital mechanics and testosterone levels in the Pentagon.
Yes I’m talking about the plan to ‘blow up’ that pesky US spy Sat which is de-orbiting somewhere, sometime soon…
When I studied Space Science at University I was told about the dangers of ’space junk’ and how, increasingly, manned and unmanned space flight […] -

Well done Prince Charles!
I am not a great ‘Royalist’ by inclination but today’s speech by Prince Charles gives me hope for the future of the monarchy.
The EU was meant to bring nations and citizens together for the common good and the Prince of Wales is right in saying about climate change “Surely, this is just the moment in […] -

Parking Chaos
I don’t know if your area is like mine in that sometimes it seems there are more cars than people?
Parking is a horrendous problem in Rodborough. There isn’t enough space. Also, sometimes, drivers don’t park in the ‘best’ places for road safety. There several blind corners, made even more dangerous by having a car (or […] -

The Tragedy of Darfur
A few days ago I wrote about some of the positive things happening in Botswana. There is another side to the story of Africa.
Darfur.
We sometimes here about starvation or civil war in some part of Africa, but the human disaster in Sudan slips in and out of the Media’s focus. I would like to pay tribute to […] -

Cameron in Trouble?
Yep the polls don’t look good for the Tories.
The January Guardian poll puts them at 37% (down 2) with Labour at 35% and 20% for the Lib Dems (up 2).
They are not going to win a general election on those figures… The Liberal Democrats remain the main obsticle to a conservative governmnent. I […]
