Paula White is Donald Trump's spiritual adviser and apparently the TV evangelist gave an 'invocation' at the 2017 presidential inauguration.

All I can say is that if Donald Trump is taking Paula's gibberish seriously, it's no surprise the 45th president is  losing his marbles.

  


Murder in Manhattan (11/09/19)

I occasionally re-post on the blog site the words of a poem I wrote many years ago in the wake of 9/11.

I decided to do so again this year because of the news that America's biggest hypocrite, Donald J Trump, had invited Taliban leaders to Camp David on the very eve of 9/11. 

Having had the bare-faced cheek to castigate President Barack Obama for even daring to talk to the Taliban back in 2012.

  


Murder in Manhattan (11/09/19)

I wrote a poem about the attack on America on September 11th 2001 shortly after watching the two hijacked civilian planes slam into the Twin Towers in New York.

I've taken to publishing what I wrote on the blog site every September, but I have to say the whole business is given added poignancy this year.

Especially after the ludicrous comments from Labour's Jeremy Corbyn in which he alleges some kind of 'moral equivalence' between the death of Osama bin Laden and the cold-blooded killing of thousands of innocent people (including many Muslims) by a gang of murderous Islamist fanatics. 

  

Murder in Manhattan
As I watched the terrible events in New York on 9/11 2001 l wrote down my feelings at the time and here is what came out:

Murder in Manhattan

Death came unseen one morning

Out of a beautiful clear blue sky

On friendly wings

Innocent lives snuffed out by fanatics


Kill and be killed

Fundamentalism

Alien to humanity or common sense

Brutal and wicked beyond belief


Shocking, horrible to behold

Beamed live to homes across the world

Loved ones consumed by fireballs

Never to say goodbye


Lost in the rubble or jumping for their lives

Desperate and fearful

How much did they suffer?

Only loss and despair for those left behind


And terrible anger

At the waste of so many lives

Can hope and dignity survive?

To triumph over such barbarism


Provocation and restraint

Honour your dead

Protect your people

Yes, but refuse to become like your enemies

The Madness of Donald Trump (08/09/19)



In 2012 Donald Trump criticised President Obama for talking to the Taliban because they were America's 'sworn enemy'.

Yet in 2019 on the eve of 9/11 Trump invites the Taliban to Camp David, the president's country retreat.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
