RE: OFW...

Here in the U.K. we rely very much on foreign workers and I for one am grateful for their support. We really should appreciate them


78% of settled Filipino immigrants to the UK are employed, with 15.4% being low earners and 1.28 per cent being high earners. In 2020, 18,500 Filipinos were employed by the National Health Service; as of April 2020, of NHS workers who have died of COVID-19, 20% were Filipino.

RE: Why isn't Britain apologising for what they have done to this world?

Two Americans invented the internet if al gore didn't. The first digital computer was made at the Iowa state college.
The ENIAC (1945) was the first programmable electronic general-purpose digital computer built in University PA USA.

Charles Babbage KH FRS was an English polymath. A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer, Babbage originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Babbage is considered by some to be "father of the computer". Wikipedia

RE: 69 year old cancer patient granny begins 2 month jail sentence

Great headline and done to arouse sympathy no doubt,but she's a known activist with history if you'd bothered to check. Any right minded senior citizen undergoing treatment for cancer doesn't travel 2,361.4 miles just to record a video.

RE: The treatment has begun.

Just noticed the above not showing so here's another.

RE: The treatment has begun.

Hello Philipsen,

Sounds like acid reflux or GERDS which does need monitoring as it can cause problems with the esophagus if not kept in check.

Look after yourself

RE: News | UK police launch investigation into Prince Charles charity.

No ,I know what I have been taught as I wasn't born when Jesus existed.

RE: News | UK police launch investigation into Prince Charles charity.

Nobody does. We all were taught from a book about him and his life.

RE: News | UK police launch investigation into Prince Charles charity.

Your comment smacks of platitudes and is also quite judgemental. Surely we should not put people in brackets , spiritually awaken or not.

RE: USA always USA

Grenada gained independence in 1974 and it was 1983 when the US attacked the island.

Operation Urgent Fury - Grenada
Bird Dog

The US and her Caribbean allies invaded Grenada in October 1983 to restore a democratic government, protect US citizens and neutralize the Grenadian military. The Grenadians had built an airport capable of landing large military aircraft and had been supplied weapons and ammunition from Cuba, the Soviet Union and North Korea. The Soviets also funded a new port on the eastern side of the island. The strategic threat to the stability in the region as well as the threat to US personnel attending the medical college there prompted military action.

The combined forces military operation began on 25 October and concluded by 15 December. The last military action was on 1 November. There was sufficient captured arms to outfit 6 battalions. All of the captured weapons and munitions were sent to the United States by Task Force 24.

You stand corrected.

RE: Ghislaine: is it time to make a deal?

She was 60 on Christmas Day so wont manage 65 years in jail will she,even though she deserves it.

The odds are that revealing her black book will be quashed in Court as too much would be revealed about top people's involvement. Sad but true.

RE: Dementia Part 2

@ pedro

I made a note to remind me to log on C.S then I suddenly remembered why I didn't want to. [present company accepted though ]

Fact not fiction.

@KNenagh

Sorry to read this and hope all stays well with you.

The N.H.S. is struggling to cope since the pandemic and has a back log of patients awaiting referrals for different ailments. 13 to 18 weeks was the maximum waiting time for replacement joints ,now it's 18 to 24 months and cancer patients are also struggling with their chemo etc.

Sad times indeed.

Fact not fiction.

@ ana

I think you'll find that most people accepting a vaccine is to protect themselves not to save hospital beds.

I do agree about plants and animals though. Lessons need learning and fast.

Fact not fiction.

Morning Chesney

Can't say I agree with you that children have nothing to fear from covid as many have died from catching it.

Where does one draw the line in keeping people healthy.

Fact not fiction.

Ciao Happy

Thanks for your interesting comments and observations.

Contrary to popular belief and being labelled a "leftie" by some posters I'm not politically minded but have to say that yes the U.K. was very lax after lock down thanks to bodger Boris.

It's common sense also that if you have rules with regards travel during the pandemic ,driving across borders has to be a top priority with regards safety.

For almost 2 years the World has been dealing with Covid and it doesn't seem to be totally under control so yes we have to make changes to our lifestyles in order to protect ourselves and others.

I live near a holiday resort and after the first lock down the rate of covid cases lowered but when the ban was lifted the flood gates opened and the resort was swamped with people ,many of whom had no regard for safety and the rate shot up alarmingly. It was more about economy than public health.


Stai al sicuro amico mio ma divertiti

Fact not fiction.

Morning Grand

I too was concerned about the vaccine but common sense prevailed . Worrying times for sure. Stay safe my friend.

RE: The Sequel: An apology from the Three Antagonists.???

You all need to get a sense of humour Have you never heard the expression "a play on words"

I'm not on here much now , just look and pass by as it's so boring on here these days. All the decent posters have long gone for the very same reason.

The forums and blogs are as bad as watching paint dry.

RE: How many more days before the Whole country turns Red and Potus Trump is back in the whitehouse

@ grand

Remember the attack on the White House January 6 2021 ,I watched a documentary on that a couple of weeks ago. Pretty horrendous to say the least and probably mild in comparison as to what just might happen if Trump gets back in.

I just wish America was in a better place for ALL it's people .

RE: How many more days before the Whole country turns Red and Potus Trump is back in the whitehouse

@ grand whom I also value as a friend

I have my own opinions, and try to keep out of politics if I can but having watched a country slowly divide itself for almost 5 years isn't it time to draw a line under it all .

Out of a country of over 300 million people it beggars belief that all they can find to elect are pensioners.It's not about Trump or Biden it's about Republicans and Democrats who are completely divided at this moment in time and dragging America down.

I'm no lover of Trump admittedly but he's not running my country ,we have our own idiot. but if he gets back into power then there just might be civil disruption on a scale not seen for many a year. Just my humble opinion.

It's an open blog isn't it . Freedom of speech and all that.

Hi galrads


Contrary to popular belief I am quite an intelligent islander.

RE: How many more days before the Whole country turns Red and Potus Trump is back in the whitehouse

@ galrads

Unless your country start electing men worthy of the position and ,respectfully ,a lot younger than the O.A.P.s you seem to attract, America will still be floundering and divided as a Nation.

A new broom sweeps clean and all that.

Hi mountainman

Think this list will be the shortest in history and we are the chosen few.Got a feeling a higher authority removed it and I don't mean "sinkworthy"
