LEWIS, ROSBERG, KIM AND VERSTAPPEN - THE BELGIAN GRAND PRIX: WELCOME BACK, GUYS!

-



Here we go again, with tomorrow's Belgian Gand Prix leading off the second half of the Formula One season.

 Nico Rosberg has again taken Pole position, for the third consecutive Grand Prix, and is hoping to convert this one into a winner. Chances are that, on this occasion, the gods might well look favourably upon him and conspire for fate to be with him.  With his team mate, Lewis Hamilton, due to start the race from the back of the back of the grid, with a penalty, where Nico cannot even see him, Lewis is not really a contender in this race. Or so we might think.


So much is he not a contender that, even if he were to drive masterfully, unless the gods were to declare him their darling, Lewis might have to count himself fortunate, if he ends the race better than, say 5th or 5th position.

 And what of Rosberg? Well, even starting on Pole does not guarantee Rosberg a win in this esteemed race; not with that young non-respecter of persons, Verstappen, looking over his shoulder from P2, and, non other than the Ice-man, Kimi, looking over his and Verstappen's shoulders.

 Can we imagine Lewis Hamilton, as he had done in years past, meandering his way from the back of the Spa Francorchamps, picking off the racers in front of him one by one, to the point of breathing down Kim's and Verstappen's backs, until he lines up Rosberg and overtake him to win the Belgian Grand Prix?


Yes, those who have such vivid and unlikely imagination should keep on dreaming, and not expect such a dream to transpire into a reality. Afer all, is Hamilton not himself indicating that to expect such a thing of him would be to expect too much? We know all about people saying to others, dream big; probably on the basis that, if ones dream is small or too small, probably as to be somewhat insignificant, then it might hardly be worth putting the effort into realising it.

 And so it might be that, if Lewis Hamilton were to dream big, knowing that he is more that willing to put in the effort, skills and persistence to realise or try to realise his dream of winning this year's Belgian Grand, then, it is just possible, if not probable, that, yes, the gods might again decide to help him to get into and remain in the winning zone.


What ever the case will be, we shall have to await for it to be played out on the Spa-Francorchamps tomorrow, when, all things being equal, we should be blessed with another exciting and probably epic Formula One Grand Prix.

 May all the racers have a good, safe and enjoyable Belgian Grand Prix.

 Welcome, back, guys!

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

THE EMMANUEL CHURCH SERVICE - GODISM, RELIGION AND THE END OF RATIONALITY?

All or many things are indeed 'bright and beautiful', but did the lord god really made them all? And what about the things which are not 'bright and beautiful'? So, there I was on this dour but still refreshing Sunday, with the heavens or sky enveloped in grey clouds, as far as the seeing eye could see, as the saying goes, when the BBC's Radio 4 Morning Service came on. As much as I am an evolutionist, I still could not help but being spiritually stirred by the stirring force of the 'religious' song which the congregation - from The Emmanuel Church, in Manchester, United Kingdom - began to sing.  You might imagine, wrongly, that this was a case of god getting through to a non-believer, but that is not really the case. It was really more a matter of a person who had a background of having to go to Church and had been indoctrinated throughout early childhood. A person in whom the 'fear of god and fear of hell' had been instilled during th
