Here I am at the edge

  Labour  are fighting a rear-guard action in Bristol Since the end of World War 2, Bristol South has been a Labour party stronghold, all that may change at the next election. Like most Labour seats they are holding onto what was won after the general strike in 1929. This week, Kier Starmer came to Bristol ; when he visited a pub, the landlord told him in impolite terms to F### O##. The MP for this area (Bristol South), Karin Smyth could be known as the lady who lost the safest seat in the UK at the next election, her lead was cut from 0ver 30% to less than 20% at the last election. The latest news (as of two hours ago) is that Labour are all but dead after losing more than 200 seats, mostly to the Conservative Party in the recent elections. It does ask the question, how many will now decide to remain with a part that not only has no support, but goes against its principles of acting for the working class people in the UK? The truth is since the general strike  of 1929 the party has

  Getting hacked off Twice in the last 12 months I have had my bank account hacked by people in the Philippines. This raises the question about what happens? Do they get the IT training, then find there is no work; or do they get the IT training to hack? A few years ago I had to laugh when the bank contacted about a suspicious sale using my card. It was from a man in Wigan , Greater Manchester who tried to use my account to buy some disco equipment. The funny part is I have not been to Wigan, the last time I passed through the area was back in 1988 when I got de-mobbed from the Royal Air Force .  Even in my teens I never liked going to discos, the bright flashing lights and loud noises gave me severe headaches. Prior to that, a person in Budapest , Hungary tried buying a meal with my details. I have never been anywhere near the area; the closest I have been would be when I went to Switzerland the year before I got married (36 years ago).

 Short Horror story Nurse Jane Clark looked in on Adam Carter as he sat in his room drawing, she sighed as she noted there was no change, and closed the door. When she turned to leave on her rounds, she met Dr. John Taylor. The doctor asked, "Is there any change, nurse?" She replied, "No, Doctor Taylor. All he does is sit and draw mills for hours, what happened on the day before he came here must have been so terrible it has etched itself on his mind. The psychiatrist says she can't get him to talk." Adam had no idea what lay ahead that day four years ago, if he had he would have taken better care of his friends, that day his life changed beyond any degree of imagination. The four friends, Adam, his girlfriend Julie, Terry, and his girlfriend, Anne had agreed to meet at the old mill to relax in the summer sun, and hopefully have some innocent fun later. Life rarely goes to plan as the four young people were to find out. Adam sat in his room gazing idly at his dr
