Man Fell Off Plane Into Clapham Resident Garden

Posted on by sandrea

According to a media report, a man fell off a plane that came from Kenya into the garden of a Clapham resident.

I cannot understand what level of poverty or other factors would allow someone to stow away on a plane that flies at least 30 thousand feet high. What is happening into our world that causes people such despair that they would rather risk their lives to come to what they assume is a country that can offer them a better way of life.

It was reported, by the police that a bag, water and food was found in the landing gear area of the plane when it landed and inspection was carried out.  For the resident that was sunbathing when the body dropped into his garden, this must leave him so frighten and scare. It leaves many of us who live in the Clapham area that are in flight path a little concern that something like this to happen to anyone of us and we have to be vigilant when we are using our gardens.

Why Would The BBC Scrap TV Licence for Over 75’s

Posted on by sandrea

A proposal by the BBC, according to media reports, to scrap or means test TV licence for the over 75’s is one of the most disgrace decision, in my opinion, an organisation with more money than sense could do this to our senior citizen in our community.

Now the question must be what the heck is the BBC thinking? There are many senior citizens over the age of 75 that their only means of connection to the world is through their televisions and some idiotic people who can afford much more than a TV Licence decides to the deprive our elderly of their TV licence privileges.

The mere fact that over 500,000 signed their signature opposing this idiotic decision is a testament that most decent people within our society believe that our protection. There is no doubt that some of the people who the BBC want to take away their free television licence are people who fought in a war to give these insensitive people the privilege to make these pathetic decisions.

To know that over 3.7 million senior citizens will be affected by this decision should it come in force in 2020 is frightening and an absolute disgrace. The BBC ought to be ashamed of themselves how archaic. But we should not be surprised because this is how capitalism works. Squeeze the already poor so that the rich can get richer.

Will Boris Johnson Become The UK Prime Minister?

Posted on by sandrea

Following the resignation of Theresa May as Conservative party leader and Prime Minister, the race is on to see who will be her successor.

According to media reports, the current front runner is Boris Johnson, who has 114 Tory members of parliament backing him. Although the race is in its early stages, several people believe that he will be successful in not just become the conservative leader but the next UK Prime Minister.

However there are several pitfalls before him, firstly if he becomes PM will he be calling a general election so that he can get a mandate from the British people. He accused Gordon Brown in 2007 of ruling the country by default and not the will of the people so will he honour his words and go to the country.

According to a media report, the Chair of the Conservative Muslim accused Boris Johnson of targeting the Muslin community so that he can acquire votes. He is also threating to leave the party should Boris become Prime Minister.

Boris Johnson as not state yet whether he will be calling a general election, so the comments he made back in 2007 about Gordon Brown taking over Downing Street, and it amounts to a ‘palace coup’ and that without him winning an election tantamount to massive fraud. It is something that we cannot call him a hypocrite for yet because we still do not know what his plans are.

In my opinion, any individual that takes over the role of Prime Minister by default must go to the electorate to get a mandate to govern and if Boris wins his party support and become PM and fail to do so would make him the biggest hypocrite of all time.

King Yellowman reigns at Jazz

Posted on by sandrea

KING Yellow Man gave a majestic performance at last night’s staging of the annual Jazz Festival which got off on a high note at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium.

The veteran deejay who skipped from one side to the other on the stage held the cheering audience spell bound during an electrifying performance which lasted for about half hour.

In between deliveries such as ” Blue Berry Hill,” I am Getting Married”, “Mr Chin”, the deejay was hilarious in his interaction with the patrons who he held in stitches.

Before ending his performance he called on his sidekick, Medikal a medical practitioner in Trelawny who is a former Tastee Talent show winner.

Medikal held his own during his rendition of Dennis Brown’s “Should I”.
