Arrogant Cyclists

Cyclist in London do not hink that the laws of the road apply to them.  The Mayor is an ardent fan and not a cabinet told the police off for directing him and he did not like it.  Perhaps he will lose his job and a boundary will be set.

Keep UK Road deths in perspective

Much is being said about the first rise by 51 in UK deaths since 2003.

The UK and Germany (with no speed limit on many road tie in the developed world with 7, Autralia 8, Canada 13, France 12 and the USA 15.  China is 36 Urauguay 74, Ukaine 153 and Uganda 3528.

Other 2010 deaths in the UK form the ONS are revealing, ALL transport is 1970, Hanging 2011 and self harm 3377.

Keep our "do-good" efforts focassed.

Clint Eastwood - the most versitile?

I love Clint Eastwood movies for the excitment and more recently their message.  He has move from Rawhide through the spagetti Westerns to Dirty Harry and to Gran Torino.  Wonderful.

Gibralter & The Falklands

As the economies of Argentina and Spain decscend into chaos, their governments try to divert their populations to bits of land whose populations wish to stay freel linked to Britain.

The claims of injustices up to 300 years ago could only be reversed by proving the change of the islands status would benefit the people.  Threats and obstruction and bust economies are hardly likely to change people's minds.

Would the UK had the power to ban British people for holidaying in Spain!

Cameras & Demos

The presence of a camera certainly enlivens a demo, be excessive enthusiasm for a football team of the burning of the Union Jack or Stars & Stripes.

I wish that cameras could be withdrawn when the demo reaches the boundary of excesses.

Water

Water is even higher up the list of possible world crises than food, but far les obvious.  In the UK it is already menacing us.  Meters should now be compulsory and better efficiency regulation is essential, perhaps some form of ranchising, which erodes the area monoplosied by less efficient suppliers.

Food Shortages and Obesity

Medium projections of the world population and productive land predict food shortages. I believe that some of this is over pessimism in the scientific analysis community. Land can with technological help be brought back into use. GM will help crops grow in less than the current optimum conditions.
Food waste prevalent in the developed world. This is a social crime. So to is eating too much and damaging your personal health at the cost of distress to yourself and the local health services.
