Random ramblings and a rant

The fish are back !

Or rather they've woken up again being as they can't really leave the pond at any time.

Cleaned the pond of all the plants and surface weed that had grown over the past few months, there are no tadpoles to be seen now so they are either all in the depths of the pond somewhere wondering whether or not they should become frogs any time soon, or they've been eaten by my fish.

The pond was too murky after Id dredged it out last night so when I peeked a look in it today I was wellpleased to see my eight huge Golden Orfes had all survived their winter hibernation, even the firkin huge one that is now around four or five years old and is getting on for a foot long now, they'll be fed tonight although I don't expect them to take food just yet, but I have my suspicions about where all the tadpoles go every year.

The local council elections took place on Thursday and the Morley area of Leeds elected a BNP representative in favour of the usual three party choices plus a Green thrown in for good measure.

For those not familiar with British Politics, the BNP don't really have a manefesto for the country in the same way that most political party's do, their aim is to, (and I quote while seething), "represent the British white working class voters who have been marginalised by the major parties and their political correct pandering to non-white minorities".

I have carefully quoted that from Nick Griffin their leader who is well known to the British court system for his racist and inciting views, the best thing that can be said for the BNP is that they show just how democratic this country can be when we tolorate fekkwits like them to actually be allowed to share a ballot paper with genuine political parties and people who actually want to serve their electorate.

The suprising thing about the local elections is that the party of fuckwits can find enough similar minded fuckwits to vote for them, if we had a BNP representative in our ward ( which we never will as they prey on low income white working class areas) then I would want to know how he was going to represent me on our local council, how he was going to vote on the police budget for instance when the police spend so much time hounding him and his racist chums at their clandestine meetings, how he was going to vote on local issues such as when do our dustbins get emptied and what would he do if we had a black binman, and at what point would he press our local council to repatriate tens of thousands of British Asians and what the fuck has that got to do with local council affairs anyway ?

Thankfully when it comes to national elections the BNP do nothing, they have never had a Member of Parliament in their party and with proper publicity they never will.

Tomorrow we take a quick trip to the north east on hospital visiting duty, and we're also going to look at a caravan.

I never thought I'd ever write that last bit.

I'm saying nothing for the time being but a small piece of Northumberland may yet be ours when we purchase the tin box and its bedding plant heaven location.
