Mrs Meldrew has packed. I am still packing. The garden has been watered. The eldest Meldrew child, the one with the law degree, is on his way down to revamp Mrs Meldrew's kitchen. The youngest Meldrew child, the veterinary nurse, is supervising her brother because she has got all the money! As the youngest I suspect that she has waited a long time for this kind of power over her brother.
The car is fully fuelled and raring to go. The 93 year old mother is now snugly farmed out to sister in law in Derby. Good luck Jane you are truly a heroine! We no longer have dogs so that is not a problem.
Tomorrow we will leisurely drive down to Southampton to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with a Mediterranean cruise. The Great Train robbers got less but there are many places I must visit before I get too old. This is the best way to visit Malaga, Barcelona, Cannes, Florence, Rome, Gibraltar, Lisbon and Vigo.
On the way we may eat, drink and gamble too much but hell after 40 years we deserve it. Time to relax. In two week's time I will be back to continue the attack on the injustices that our political classes heap on us. I know that I sometimes go over the top but this blog is my only outlet. I have no other influence on what is happening to my country.
Millions of ordinary people have no redress to what this government has done and what the previous government began. Ted Heath took us into Europe in the 1970's and ever since we have lost our independence. Our three main parties collude and pay homage to an illegal, unaudited organisatiion which somehow has usurped power in Europe.
For two weeks I refuse to worry about it anymore... but then I will be back! Thanks to anyone who reads my ramblings. Byeeeee!

Norwich
Congratulations to the voters of Norwich who yesterday did their bit to get rid of Gordon Brown. Even the morons of the NoLab party are beginning to get the message that this man is a one man electoral disaster zone. I am however amazed that little more than 6000 people in Norwich still voted NoLab.
I just wonder what it would take for them to change their minds? How much lower do we have to get in this country before it will penetrate their brains that Gordon regards them with contempt. I realise that many of them may depend on NoLab for their jobs with over inflated salaries but 6000?
Further down the list I see that only a little under 1000 people voted for Craig Murray standing as 'An Honest Man'. Craig Murray has revealed much of the malpractices of the establishment in his books but clearly the voters in Norwich did not value 'honesty'. Keep voting for the main parties and you will get what you deserve...dishonesty! After all their track record in that field is second to none.

The Royal Household Bowls Club
Today my bowls club hosted a prestigious fixture against the Royal Household Bowls Club from Windsor Great Park. We first applied for this fixture three years ago when we were celebrating our 60th anniversary. Since then we have been invited back twice more so today was our opportunity to reciprocate.
For my sins, I am this year, the President of my local club so it was very important to me personally that we had a really good day. The weather forecast was dire and we in the depths of Leicestershire have had some desperate weather in the past few weeks. Most of we bowlers have been drowned during the last few weeks and I must confess I expected the worst!
At precisely 2pm the rain arrived at and 2.15 it disappeared. From then on until 5pm we had a lovely afternoon and the atmosphere on the green was frankly second to none. These people who work for the royal family have a special presence. They know how to enjoy themselves!
Today was a lovely day! We all enjoyed ourselves and as such we have been promised a fixture next year. This is a real feather in our cap because many clubs request this fixture and cannot get near it. I joined my club probably ten years ago and I have seen the club through some difficult times. Recently we have had an influx of some new members who are already beginning to make their mark. The whole character of the club is changing.
It needs to change BUT there is potential in this club and I predict that we will shortly become a really successful club because there are people knocking at the door who can bowl my club into prominence. Today however, was my day as President and the whole club got behind me. I was really chuffed because we all support each other and today was our day. It was a real success.

Dental Charges
Yesterday I had a back tooth extracted which exposed me to dental charges. I have had toothache for the past three months which has only been controlled by cocodomol. During this time I have had to pay for every appointment while my dentist extracted as much as he possibly could from my bank account. He wanted me to pay over £500 for root canal filling but the second opinion I sought from a dentist at a local hospital ensured me that root canal filling was not an allcure.
So eventually after this extraordinary time frame I was introduced to the 'expert' who was qualified to take the tooth out. You see the dentist who had delayed this 'operation' did not trust himself sufficiently to extract the tooth. The expert was brilliant! I was in the chair for minutes even though my teeth have a history of difficult extractions. She wiggled this bloody tooth pressed firmly and it was gone. I was really impressed because in the past I have had to suffer such drastic extractions that in 1976 I had four stitches in my gum at 4am at the local hospital because the bleeding would not stop.
So am I a happy customer? I am not because when I arrived at my local dentist (the guy who has been regularly extracting money from my bank account without guaranteeing results) wanted me to make an appointment so that he could check that the extraction was now sound! Everybody in the world knows that teeth heal very quickly. Already within 24 hours my gum is healing so this guy is ripping me off.
So am I happy? Only if you think that £175 is a fair price for the relief of toothache! Yes folks we are now prisoners of the dental industry because they know that we will probably pay almost anything to relieve the pain. It took possibly two minutes to extract my tooth and she was paid £175!! Think on because we all pay for NHS treatment and for most of us it is now not available. Another success for the NoLab government which supposedly represents the working class. Yeah right!

How much longer?
How much longer must we accept this disfunctional lying Prime Minister who is clearly trying to run this country into the ground. He has clearly accepted that he is not up to the job and he patently realises that he will be destroyed at any election that he dares to fight. This is the reason that he is waiting until the last possible moment to announce an election.
The problem is that every minute that this lunatic remains in office the country loses millions. Nothing works anymore because for twelve years he has been purely engaged in some kind of ridiculous social engineering policy which is bringing everybody down. Political correctness does not earn income. Social engineering does not earn income. The policies of NoLab have destroyed much of this country's industry.
They have never supported our major industries, because that means employment for the masses. This is the reason that their policies are reducing taxable income and yet they still rob us blind. Up and up go taxes because they have no policies to rejuvenate the economy. There is no good news because the plan is never to have any good news. We are being systematically destroyed by an incompetent inner circle of NoLab politicians who gorge themselves on our taxes but who never improve the lives of the common man.
There has not been one single NoLab intiative which has been to the advantage of married couples who are employed and have children. You know these people are still the vast majority of the British indigenous population. We are being milked to support the ridiculous policies of a ridiculous government who know that their time is up!

Swine Flu!
Can any other government in this world get so much wrong? There is no direct advice on swine flu and the reason is that frankly they have no idea what they are facing. We have newspapers like the Daily Express and the Daily Mail with huge predictions of doom and gloom and yet the government has no coordinated plan to deal with the problem.
Why is this no surprise? They have never had a coordinated plan to deal with anything. There are now reports that there are five major government departments which cannot pass an audit... including the Treasury! Do you know I so fear the real consequences of the NoLab regime will be that the we cannot afford the state pension!
Down here on planet Earth in rural Loughborough things actually do not seem too bad because the impact of mass immigration has not really bitten apart from the downtown district but we all know that it will. I know very few people who have contracted swine flu' ... nobody is dying of swine flu' here... yet.
In the meantime the MPs now break for what..a three month holiday despite the possibility of a swine flu' epidemic and the very fact that we have soldiers dying daily in a dreadfully debilatating war. Surely they can stagger their holidays like everyone else so that some MPs will always be available to deal with emergencies.
Is that too much to ask? It is under NoLab the party 'which looks after the people'! Ha!! I am just beginning to think that swine flu' is a government invention to distract us from the reality that they are useless. I just hope that I am right.

Edinburgh Napier University
On Thursday Mrs Meldrew and I travelled north for the graduation of the eldest Meldrew child. We attended the Edinburgh Festival Hall for the ceremony which was quite emotional for us as the eldest Meldrew child is 37 and he has gained his degree by the sweat of his brow and his personal character.
Edinburgh Napier University on first sight appears to be a modern university. That means that it is not one of our traditional academic universities but combines the academic skills with the commercial skills. There were many graduans with challenging names for the compere which pays tribute to the commercial acumen of this particular university.
I have only one sour note. Some of the degrees appeared to be purely social degrees. They could almost have been labelled 'this degree is to qualify this young lady to be a Chinese waitress'. I think that our commercial universities should be careful to maintain their standards.
Apart from that we had a great time and it was particularly pleasing to meet Dan and his family. Dan is similar to the eldest Meldrew in that they have achieved an Honours degree in Law but will not practice. He shares a house with the eldest Meldrew and they also share a car insurance deal which is too complicated for me to understand!
I would like to thank Ronnie and Gwen for their hospitality and I enjoyed this slight insight into the social life of the eldest Meldrew. Their son Dan has ambitions to be a Police Officer with a degree in Law and I I believe that we need young policeman like him, well adjusted and with his feet firmly on the ground.
Thanks son for a great weekend. We are so proud of what you have achieved!
