Coronavirus Diary 74 – The day I was debated in the Houses of Parliament

Wednesday 3rd March 2021 was Budget Day, the day of the year where the government sets out its spending plans for the year and announces investments, cutbacks and virtually any policy relating to money and taxes. As such many of the 3 million people like myself who are in #ExcludedUK and have gone without any… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 74 – The day I was debated in the Houses of Parliament

Why do so many think 2 weeks of Lockdown poverty is worse than 8 months being ExcludedUK?

I was in London yesterday.  Not for fun or spending money, not really for work, well not paid work but to get out of the house and feel vaguely human whilst trying to plan for a future that I have no idea when it may arrive. Heading back to Tottenham Court Road Station I came… Continue reading Why do so many think 2 weeks of Lockdown poverty is worse than 8 months being ExcludedUK?

Coronavirus Diary 35 – You can’t fix stupid!

I’ve made a few mistakes in the last few days.  The first one was having grown tired of having my new house full of rubbish that can’t be disposed of, I decided to put some art up on the walls to make some space.

Kate Middleton is having another baby. There, I’ve said it… I hate her!

It’s not often I write anything like my opinion on anything but today it has been announced that Kate Middleton is expecting her third child.  Hurray!  Good for the future 3rd in line sprog to the British throne. However, I really believe that it is irresponsible for people who live on social support to deliberately… Continue reading Kate Middleton is having another baby. There, I’ve said it… I hate her!

London is Reeling…. NOT

Maybe it is just a fundamental difference between us and other countries but according to some foreign media, everyone in the UK and particularly London is terrified but as the headline in the Independent revealed, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I have to say that I’m not in the slightest bit terrified nor… Continue reading London is Reeling…. NOT

Manchester Remembered Around The World

Prince Philip and the islanders who worship him as a god.

Most people know who Prince Philip is.  He’s held in quite high esteem and perhaps even loved for his politically incorrect remarks and insults and fiery Greek temper.  However, outside of Buckingham Palace there is no where quite on earth that thinks as much of the man as the Kastom people in the tiny Pacific… Continue reading Prince Philip and the islanders who worship him as a god.

Westminster Terror Attack

A terrorist attack has taken place in London, England near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster bridge. Several people have been injured.  At least four fatalities and 20 catastrophic injuries.

So, we’re going on YouTube!

Sooooo, I’ve spent the last day or so creating two YouTube channels as it seems to be the way the world is going.   Unlike some channels, hopefully I can put up some videos of interest and perhaps even a little merit. It doesn’t mean I’m stopping blogging, far from it but it is just… Continue reading So, we’re going on YouTube!

A small step for man – A giant leap for my company, Ye Olde England Tours
