Changes…

HonestInk,

I see a tiny chink in the thick, smothering curtain of political correctness that has choked us normal people for a long while now. The kid gloves are coming off one finger at a time. Suddenly I’m seeing people speaking out loud about wokeism, blm, islamism and the idea of…

Screaming out loud

HonestInk,

So following on from my previous post; labour’s little minter of of an idea for this week is to scrap the two child benefit cap. I sit here quietly for a moment with my hand over my mouth as I rage inwardly and think how to word the scream inside…

Oh dear, mr prime minister

HonestInk,

I’m a little concerned. I don’t think our prime minister is very well. He seems to be in the throws of some delirious fever or mental breakdown and nobody seems to want to help him. It can’t possibly be normal behaviour to dig your own grave so quickly and so…

The things we love

HonestInk,

Because I now have a rather nice green chest of drawers in my bedroom I decided it needed a telly to sit on the top. I’ve had one tucked away in the corner of the room that was kindly given to me when I moved here but it’s been a…

The yodel guy and fucking AI

HonestInk,

Over the years I’ve built many flatpack items of furniture. My most favourite of which is the nine drawer chest I bought from Do-It-All that has moved with me three times and is still gracing my living room after twenty odd years. One place I moved in to had a…

Don’t kill trees

HonestInk,

The other week I wrote about my next door neighbour feeding the rats. Well the birds, but round here you don’t because there are too many rats. Anyway she got her son in law to cut down the two small trees that she thought were harbouring the rats. The tree…

Waking the people

HonestInk,

My heart aches for the family of Iryna. The fear and aloneness captured on her face as she is literally dying for all the world to see is absolutely heartbreaking. For Charlie Kirk’s wife and children left to pick up the pieces. For the vile world we live in. The…

Finding beauty

HonestInk,

A few weeks ago I found a sweet chestnut tree. It’s hidden in a quiet corner of the cemetery. I came across it as I was following the untouched blackberry bushes and stuffing huge ones in my mouth two or three at a time. Noah hates me eating blackberries. I’m…

The new caravan park

HonestInk,

I simply couldn’t resist it. Writing a few words about the sneaky landgrab on my local facebook group, it didn’t take long before it kicked off bigtime. The main guy that commented admitted it was him and that he had ‘reclaimed’ unused land in another area of town and made…

Something for nothing …

HonestInk,

The other week I wrote about the tree felling going on in the middle of the night. Turns out It has been Northern Rail clearing the sides of the tracks when they are not live in preparation for winter. The railway line cuts through the middle of the cemetery and…
