Cadburys, Europe and my Mother



3 January

Knowing that we were due to have Kile we bought a pack of Cadbury's chocolate bars, the small flat ones. Well. I tried one and I was very disappointed by it. At various times I've tried chocolate in different parts of the worlds and they all taste pretty much the same, that is weak and insipid and lacking a taste of the coco basis. Sadly, I noticed that the chocolate bar I had the other day tasted pretty much the same. Of course Cadburys has been taken over the Yanks and I suppose they are trying to get Cadburys to taste the same as their normal crap chocolate!

I've not seen all that news on telly over the holiday but one item I did catch yesterday was about the proposed ruling from Europe saying that it was not legal to sentence anyone with a full life tariff. So the government is supposed to bringing out new sentences of 'hundreds of years' just to get around the new Euro-crap. There is another way ... give us the British people the chance to choose between remaining in Europe and withdrawing from it. Then we can thumb our noses at everything Euro! Of course there's no leader with a chance of forming a government in current politics within the balls to do so. UKIP might but can you see them getting into a position to be able to call such a vote? No, nor me!

But this issue of sentencing is supposed to be based around the human rights of offenders. That makes the Criminal Justice System named correctly. What we really need it a new set up, the Victim Justice Service. If we had that we would be able to deal with these criminals properly. If they deprive victims of their human rights, then they can expect to lose theirs when they are taken to court and sentenced. Again, there's no politician with the balls to do so.

In a few months time some of us we will be given the chance to vote for our councillors. OK, fine, but who do we vote for? There's talk even now that says the results of these elections will be an important indicator of how we will vote in next year's general election. What crap!!! The figure lookers can make the results say as much or as little as they want it too. These idiots must think we a load of unthinking morons.

Jan has just left to take Kile home. We were due to have him until Sunday but around 8.30 last night we a phone call from the care home where my mother is that they had called an ambulance to take her to hospital. We decided that with things as they are, we may well have to go up there fairly quickly so maybe it was perhaps better that Kile goes home now. Jan will then go and see how mother is before going off to see a friend of hers who is also in hospital.

Well, Jan has called with an update on mother; she's awake but weak - but still strong enough to shout at Jan and tell her to 'bugger off.' That sounds about par for the course then ;-)))

Considering what the weather is like I thought this photo might be right ... 

I got it as Jan drove north on the M5 one time.

And funny time ...
