  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC.
    That’s ‘Before Computers’.

    Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as

    World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all… Archbishop Temple’s School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock ‘n’ Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during ‘The Cold War’…and then

    I became ‘a family’. Which meant that I sort of missed the ‘swinging sixties’, but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the ‘Thatcher Years’ I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 60 years of happy marriage.

We deserve better !

Posted by Big John on May 19, 2020

In a number of my previous posts I have often referred to our parliamentarians and government ministers as .. “that bunch of self-serving hypocritical slippery chancers”, and in view of their current performance, when it come to the present ‘Covid19’ crisis, I would like to add “posturing plonkers” !

Incompetence does not even begin to describe the way that our so-called ‘leaders’ have handled matters, lied and then covered up the results.

When it comes to keeping the public informed, standing in front of the Union Flag, looking unhappy and leaning on a lectern bearing silly slogans which convey “the bleeding obvious” is, as far as I’m concerned, just a way of trying to look competent, before implementing the next ‘knee jerk reaction’ or displaying, on the TV news, yet another..
