In the last programme of my series Dave Cook’s Zootime “Rants” I may have made the listeners ears bleed, but it was heart felt stuff.

Now I feel that I need to move onto other things, and bring something in the way of interesting things from history, with hopefully, an interesting turn to them.  Rants are fine, but you can have too much of a good thing.

Before I do that I would like to point out some things I mentioned in the programme that are looking like coming true:

I predicted that we would find out that all of our MP’s were money grabbing parasites, and we saw a lot of information that made our toes curl as the truth was slowly leaked out.  I also mentioned that there would be a hung parliament, and just lately we have seen all parties preparing for such a problem, to them, but not us.  Mentioned also was just what bankers would do with the money and what the investigation would find out.  That was nothing, and an inconclusive summation rather than a finding.  On top of this I suggested that the Parliament would do nothing, and what has happened? Well we now know.

I put to you also that MP’s would find another way to get these allowances, and that investigations, and judgements would be full of holes for them to get at this cash.  Well it has started with Nicholson saying that he felt that MP’s should not be prevented from employing relatives……here we go again!!

In this programme I stated that Gordon Brown was finished, and he knew it. Just in the past few days we have seen MP’s attempting to get him ousted.  This was not successful because the MP’s who can get him removed want it to happen when they say so, and not before.

Moving onto things American I prophesised that President Obama would do nothing to stop, or break the American dream.  Witness the latest climate talks, and the haste in which he signed some non binding notional statement, and then got the hell out of Dodge.  Of course he is not going to tell Mr America his dream has now come to an end.  Oh! He’ll posture, and make the right sounds, but the suits will make sure he gets the message.

I ask you could you see an America that has not got all the right weapons in the arsenal, and all the flashy equipment and cars.  Not on Abraham Lincolns bottom Dollar you won’t.  Protectionism is the way ahead and the rest of Europe is following suit, but guess what.  The man from the manse is still going to sign up to all sorts of things that we will have to swallow whole, and keep paying for.

Look forward to Dave Cook’s Zootime ‘Freedom- history’s legacy’.

Thank you for listening.  I hope you’ll continue to listen to the “All New Dave Cooks’ Zoo!”

Now if you are in the Armed Forces it would seem that being a captive is ‘a nice little earner’……What about the official secrets act?, oh and not giving succour or help to the enemy(not repealed since the Napoleonic wars).

It beggars belief that a high ranking officer, such as a Rear Admiral, can at any time believe that his personnel are not in a position of a special nature! That the defence of ….’I wanted them to be able to tell their own story their way’…would be sufficient for his decision.

Add to the frame another ‘bean counter’, one Mr Des Browne who now claims with hindsight he could have made a better decision…..his best decision now would be to resign, but out of the government…Yes I know he’ll move into another government office and hide for a while. You see that is what is so unfair to my ‘minds eye’. The personnel have only done what they were told they could do…..by a group of ‘idiots of the first water’…..and so carry no blame in this ‘debacle’.

The people who should carry the blame are probably going to ‘dissappear into the woodwork’, and loose nothing.

What about the families of those fallen service personnel? Where has the media rush been to hear their stories? Where are the journalists wanting to put forward the case for the needless loss of these personnel, lost because of the wrong kit being used, or a lack of equipment?

I would say that the fact that there was a woman involved in some way was the only ‘driver’ for this media frenzy, not to say the need for more glamoruos, ’sexy’ news because the Iran, Iraq thing is getting ‘old news!

This woman volunteered to be in the position she was in, even though she was a mother.This was the risk she was perpared to take, and yet we are to be amazed whe she gets taken hostage at the fact she is a hostage, and a mother.

In all of this the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE is getting a bad name, well what can we expect with the Mr blair at the helm of his ‘Blair New Labour project’.

The families of the fallen, those who have lost sons, and daughters deserve better from these ’saturday matinee Cowboys’ who wrap themselve in the Union Flag, and sacrifice these peoples children. These families need to know, and be shown that, unlike most of ‘Blairs Britain’ Honour, Sacrifice, Service, and the ultimate payment any service person can pay for his comrades, and country, the sacrifice of their own life, is NOT FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!

With that said, as Dave Allen use to say……..’May your God go with you. Bye
