Dark for dramatic effect. The same over used black background.

I think I`m a bit tired of it -  see what they`re doing, and it`s not working any more.
 

Peter A Bell

This is the year Scotland will decide whether or not it wants to form an independent Parliament. Peter Bell has a lot to say about it.

 

 

"I have been a supporter of independence all of my life. Or, as I prefer to put it, an advocate of restoring Scotland's rightful constitutional status.

I put it that way because, for me, this is first, last and always a constitutional issue. I accept the inevitability of all the talk about economics and currency and all the rest. I understand the necessity for it. But these are peripheral issues."

 Interesting times ahead.

Fisheries - Truth and Fiction

 

The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) from John Ashworth, who used to run Save Britain's Fish, made in October 2013:

“It never ceases to amaze me how cunning the EU system is in hiding their real intentions. Ever since 1982 when the first derogation from the CFP expired, the system has always portrayed the temporary management arrangement as the CFP, and the present “Regional CFP” is no exception.

By using this clever wordage, the Fisheries acquis communautaire of equal access to a common resource without discrimination, which is the real CFP, is concealed as the EU Fisheries Directorate grappled over many years, complicated by a steady continual increase of nations joining the EU, to bring about the acquis through various management means by stealth.

The fishing issue has always been an excellent example of EU manipulation. As we approach the European, followed by the General election, and in turn pressure for an in/out EU referendum, watch the number of times the word “Reform” is used. The question is what is being reformed, and how, because as in Fisheries, reforming the temporary management arrangement of 1983, which most people are being led to believe is the CFP, is no solution, because whatever is devised, and what you think you have reformed, the direction is still to accomplish the acquis.

The decimation of the British Fishing Industry has, and is, taking place solely because of the acquis communautaire. After all these years it is still not fully understood, which is why the EU system gets away with the continual advancement to full political union, and those following a "reformist agenda", without tackling the question of the acquis are furthering that advancement.

Rupert Mallin

Rupert Mallin lives in Norfok in the UK and blogs about poetry, music, photography and politics, amongst other subjects.

 

 

He has written an interesting post about the latest Jimmy Hendrix biography and he has provided some colourful Christmas photographs of Norwich.

 

 

He was fourteen when he first heard the Jimmy Hendrix Experience - "Purple Haze" `Starting at Zero` was on his Christmas 2013 reading list. Containing diaries, letters and interviews, combined with Hendrix`s lyrics, the biography was compiled and edited by Paul Neal, and he found it particularly moving.

Unfortunately I do not find this blog particularly easy to navigate which is less a design problem than a technical one. I am not sure why that is.
