This is a short video of a nocturnal regular visitor to the garden. On this occasion, Brr Hedgehog was observed munching his/her way through some bread pieces, intended for the birds and squirrel.  When he/she was asked what he/she was doing. He/she replied, simply, well, hedgehogs have to live as well and we do this by eating.  Anyway, he added, what have you got against Hedgehogs; do not discriminate against me. Carry on, Brr Hedgehog, and good night, I replied. Before leaving him to continue to indulge. After all, it was a nice night for a picnic.

Big Congratulation to Lewis Hamilton,Valtteri Bottas and Team Mercedes, for having endured a gruelling, torturous and very frustrating - atleast for Hamilton - Monaco Grand Prix, to make it their Sixth Podium appearance in as many races. A Big Congratulation also, to Sebastian Vettel and Team Ferrari, for, again making it to P.3.   Albeit, by the grace of Max Verstappen's unfortunate fate, in having incurred a 5 second penalty, as a result of a Pit stop incident involving Valtteri Bottas. And now, moving on, what can I say about the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix? Well, I imagine that I and others could say alot about it, although it might be difficult to much that would be new and original.  Things which would thrill and inspire the reader. Indeed, truth to tell, the Monaco Grand Prix, at least for me, is in a category of its own, when compared with the other Grand Prix races.  It is more of an 'endurance challenge' than a genuine Grand Prix race. 

For the most conservative and fundamentalists of Jews, there will be no distinction between the what we could define as the 'stereotypical antisemitic.'   People who have, historically and intergenerationally, inherited a misconceived hatred of the Jews as a people.  And other people whose sense of humanity and justice, have led them to adopting a politically 'anti-Israel' approach in their response to the 'Israel-Palestine' conflict. It is just not enough for the Jewish pro-Israel elite, and their state and other supporters, to place their particularistic Jewish worldview of the world, at the centre of humanity.  And then use it as the model with which to define and measure the legitimacy and validity of the struggles of other people, to achieve their interests.  Where they conflict, appear or are perceived as conflicting with those of the State of Israel. So, yes, it is probably not surprising that my exploration of whether or n

Prime Minister May, in failing to resign her leadership of the government.   By clinging onto power when it was clear that her government and the nation was in turmoil and she would not be able to deliver a viable Brexit.   Taking the country to 'the promised land' which she and the Brexiteers have deceptively convinced themselves, really exist.  Has caused unnecessary and avoidable further massive harm to her legacy. And even more detrimentally, to the nation She has to take responsibility for this, however grating and unpalatable it clearly is to her.  Especially when what has happened to her is compared with the fate of 'Cut and Run Cameron.' Such is politics.  That today you are feted and tomorrow you have milk-shake or eggs thrown over you.   Or that the same people who made you into their 'champion', discard you when you fail - which is more often not the case - to deliver, or they no longer want what you promise them. So, yes, Prime

It is axiomatic of the vanity and conceit of politicians, that, even after the spectacular failure of the combative Prime Minister May. Her colleagues with even less acumen, should be making blatant promises about how they will deliver the ' golden fleece'  to the British people.' And ignore the logical functioning of their intellect, which should be warning them that it is a bad, even catastrophic idea for Britain to leave the European Union and go it alone. So, while it is undoubtedly the case that Prime Minister May and many in her government and the civil service.   Have done a lot of commendable work to prepare Britain to carry out the very complex and high risk operation of cutting itself out of the European Union.  On the whole, I fear that Prime Minister May's effort has been in vain.  Probably because she has spent too much time pursuing the wrong option for the country.  She should, I believe, have been working on educating the British p

There is no denying the fact that, 'it is the Jews', assisted by their Christian advocates, who have driven out the Palestinians from their land and taken it over.  If, because of such acts, the Palestinians, after decades of occupation, have developed the mindset of 'hating the Jews.'  Not because they are Jews per se, although that is how some will wish to perceive it, but because they have taken their land and subject them terrible oppression.  Then, with what right has anybody, including Jewish people, label them, the Palestinians, 'antisemitic'?  It is my opinion that such a charge would be an unreasonable and quite illogical one. It would, or should have no basis in rational, as opposed to 'rationalised' discourse. It would also be legitimate to take this example of what should not be considered as 'antisemitism' further.  By arguing that that the people who support the struggle of the Palestinians in their

Since it would only benefit the opposition forces and their foreign backers.  Who want to use their continuing occupation of Syrian lands, as levers to attack and try to control the ability of the Syrian government to exercise its autonomy. "Bargaining chip", some people call it. This is why it is to the advantage of the Syrian nation that Idleb, Hama and the other opposition and foreign forces occupied areas of Syria be liberated.  Sooner rather than later, as these areas risk becoming foreign enclaves, which will work to undermine and prevent the reestablishment of Syrian sovereignty as a unified and independent nation.  It is clear that the these occupying forces will do all they can to ensure that the cost of defeating them is as great as, if not greater than it has been for other areas of Syria, like Raqqa, like Kobane, for example.  It is clear that these are battles which will and must be fought, before the Syrians can put this fratricidal war be

Like all forms of racism, sexism, gender discrimination and religious extremism.  Antisemitism should be defined within the relevant contexts which acknowledge and take into consideration the probably and/or proven motives and factors impacting on all the actors involved in transaction. It is, for example, acknowledged that Europe and Europeans have a long-standing enmity toward Jewish people.  However incompatible that might appear to be, considering the fact that Christianity has, for many centuries, been transplanted on and has taken root in the European soul.  However, when we look at what is taking place between the State of Israel and its people, and the Palestinians.  It would be very superficial to simply blame the hostility of the Palestinians towards the Israelis and their state, on 'Palestinian antisemitism.' If, for example, the Native American hates the 'White man', who just happens to come from Europe, for having invaded and

Are the British People are in the process of fighting the First British Civil War. Prime Minister May made it her priority to remove Britain from the European Union, so that, as she perceived and declared it.  Britain could be in charge of her own borders, her own immigration policies, eschew the need to have to subject her own judiciary to the authority of the European Court.   And have full control over her sovereignty on all and every matter. Whether it be national or international.  Yes, somewhat like the United States has been doing. So, how should the British people respond to Prime Minister May having been forced out of power?  By having her authority to effectively exercise her responsibility to responsibly secede Britain from the European Union, strangled and crushed by the exercise of 'democratic government'?  Should they, like her, breakdown in tears and become unseemly emotional?  Prime Minister May seems to be saying she is tearful, crying

A Big Congratulation to Hamilton and Bottas and Team Mercedes, for, again, having made it another 1 and 2 in Q.3 for today's Monaco Grand Prix.  A Big Congratulation also, to Max Verstappen and Team Red Bull, for making it to P.3. Hamilton had done an excellent and consistent job in his performance during FP.1 and 2.  And yet, Bottas' consistently dominant performance in all but the final lap of Q.3, seemed to have assured him of the Pole position for which he had, at least until that final lap, he so earnestly desired.  Indeed, it might well have been the case that he had been given that X-factor, that bit of luck, without which no racer can seemingly throw all caution to the wind and navigate the hazardous Monaco Circuit, as if he is driving his car on a rail track, or is being 'guided by wire.'  And so it was that Hamilton was able to go that bit faster than his team mate, during the final lap, having been given his lucky break, as it were
