If you thought Fantasy Island was some warm tropical paradise, WRONG! It's right here in a place bounded by the cold Atlantic and North Sea. It used to be called England, a part of Gt Britain, but not any longer.
This truly is the Real McCoy!
This is where international banks are given £500billions of tax-payers hard earned cash and then award themselves £millions in bonuses. The place where those same taxpayers are then told that they must suffer £81 billion of cuts, partly to pay for the handout. But where £billions of their money is still being doled out in "international aid " to rich industrialised countries like China and India and corrupt African dictatorships.
This is the place where a crazy, undeclared war is being waged in faraway Muslim Afghanistan, with British soldiers being killed daily but where Muslim immigrants, including airplane hi-jackers, are still welcomed - minus any checks on who they are.
Are they budding terrorists? criminals? disease carriers? No one knows, least of all the Government. And of course, no one cares. What the hell! Come on! this is Fantasy Island after all. It abandoned boring Reality 50 years ago, for God's sake!
Where else would you find a Government, ordering aircraft carriers on which no planes will land? Where else would you find a nuclear submarine grounded on the rocks? I mean, a Submarine! (aren't they supposed to be UNDER the water? ).
Where else would you get a lone parent who earns £43 grand a year having her/his Child Benefit stopped, but the family next-door earning £90 grand, having theirs saved?
That's the great thing about Fantasy Island, where 2+2 makes 5 and DOUBLETHINK reigns supreme.
It's really Kooky!
Not like that boring, hard, realistic, sane place across the Channel, where the inhabitants call a national strike, attack the government and cause chaos in the streets - all because the retirement age is going up from 60 to 62!
I mean, Fantasy Islanders have had theirs raised by 7 years, and not a peep out of them! Mind you those French revolutionaries don't have the X-Factor or Big Brother to keep them occupied. And lets, face it they're not really into Football - not like the crazy islanders. I mean they wouldn't go around the corner to watch their favourite team, much less travel to South Africa or Italy. No loyalty, those frogs!! Got their values all wrong!

THE SINS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
Watching the news about the latest Taliban and Al Queda atrocities in Pakistan's lawless Khyber Pass and the Yemen, I couldn't help thinking, Thank God for the destruction of the old British Empire by the USA, the United Nations and the"International Community."
It really was an evil institution. I mean, take Zimbabwe for instance, now a wonderful Marxist dictatorship, where the black Dictator lives in a Golden Palace. Remember when it used to be merely white Rhodesia, the so-called "Food Basket of Africa?" I mean isn't it more desirable that native Zambibweans now own all the farms - even if they grow nothing anymore and inflation is 1000%, and the population is starving?
And take the Yemen, another former colony. In Aden, the British had a base and their soldiers used to keep law and order and kill revolutionaries on sight. But it's now so much better when there is lawlessness and Yemeni Al Queda run the show, even if they've tried a few times to blow up that remnant of British Imperialism - the British Ambassador. So what? I mean, that's what Independence is all about isnt it?
And look at yet another former British colony Cyprus (Oh how I hate that inperialistic word, "Colony"). Who wants peace and stability when it's run, like it used to be, by the detestable British Empire. Far better now that the island is split in two between Greeks and Turks. How exciting the thought that war could break out anyday between them. Now that's Democracy!
And what about South Africa? Again another success story. Democracy there at last, even if gun crime and daily murders are in abundance, and the new democratic African National Congress government gets smeared as corrupt and the millions of Africans are still living in townships like Soweto. That's what independence is all about. And anyway, they like living in huts in townships, don't they? We must respect their "culture."
And last of all, the crowning glory - Pakistan! This is where Democracy really excelled itself. This is the greatest success story to result from the destruction of the British Empire.
Why?
Because not only did it free itself from the yoke of British Colonisation (by virtue of the liberal British Establishment) but it was lucky enough to also retain free unlimited admittance for all of it's citizens to the heart of that wicked British Empire. And to make it even more of a success story, once they became "British Citizens" they were then free to travel back to their Homeland to train as Taliban and Al Queda "Freedom fighters" against British soldiers in Afghanistan or create murder and mayhem on the streets of London - and some did.
Talk about having it three ways! Great! Good luck to them, I say.
The decadent British, like the Romans before them, are at last paying for the Sins of their evil Empire!

TIME TO CALL TIME ON TOM, ROD, ELTON & CO?
Saw a great musical show in London's West End over the weekend. DREAMBOATS & PETTICOATS.
It was set in the Sixties, with a brilliant, multi-talented young cast doing the great numbers of Roy Orbison, Bobby Darin, Smokey Robinson, Carole King, Sam Cooke etc.. Each member could not only act and dance but also play various musical instruments, and all were great vocalists.
Full of admiration, I refelected why these young talented performers could not get a look-in on national TV. Recording or Radio. Then it dawned on me why? Two reasons:-
1.
The cheapo TV crap masquarading as talent and entertainment - think X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent - which are nothing more than exploitative freak shows.
2.
The refusal of the likes of the greedy, narcissitic, multi-millionaire pensioners, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Bono, Phil Collins, to gracefully retire and give the younger generation a chance.
At least three of these could never ever sing to keep themselves warm anyway. As far as I'm concerned they got to the top by false pretences.
Come on boys (and girls). You've had your day. Time to move over and give the real boys and girls a chance!!
