Inheritance Tax

 The first of many

          Farm Aid

The news of a farmer's suicide this week, will NOT affect the rich fat cats of Labour.

His note saying he didn't want to become a tax burden under the new Inheritance Tax laws will be the first of many I fear. The farming community subsists on a knife edge in the best of times with this year's meagre gain paying last years' overdraft, which is why farmers hate the hunting of foxes as much as anyone does; those people do far more damage in two or three hours than any poor fox can in several years.

I doubt the new tax laws will be implemented on the members of Labour who have inherited wealth such as Sir Keir Starmer. Foxes do more good than harm for the countryside, they clean up roadkill, and keep down the rodent population; they pose NO THREAT to humans, cats, or dogs.

Instead of hitting the farmers, the government should be doing what the USA does, and begin a programme to help them. Labour are responsible for destroying many industries over the years, not only the steelworks, but the fishing trade. They forget, as an island we cannot feed ourselves, especially now we have mass illegal immigration each week.

The Bitter Truth about Labour

Under Labour it is cheaper to buy coal, and steel from Scandinavia, than to produce ours; that cost includes the cost of shipping.

Amitabh Bachchan

Chinatown updated 

            Zeenat Aman

The 1978 movie Dom featuring Amitabh Bachchan is a colour remake of the the 1956 Black & white film Chinatown featuring Shammi Kapoor.

The plot centres around a character, in the original he is a singer, who is asked by the police to infiltrate a gang safter the death of the gang's leader in a car chase. The only person who knows of the death is the Police Inspector chasing him.

Zeenat Aman plays the singer who is in love with the leader, and suspects that the lookalike is not the leader, but she has her reasons for not outing him. This role was played by Helen Richardson Khan in the original.

Helen also appears in this version as the mother with a secret of her own to tell.

Both films are for sale on my eBay page.

If you don't care

Why should I? 

                                           Is Information on a YouTube video important?

I decided not to point out the numerous typos in the videos I watch from India, on YouTube.

There are several reasons for this.

If the uploader cannot get the information correct, why should I point out their lax attitude?

From what I have seen, the correcting could be a never ending task.

Does anyone care about me pointing the error out?

It only takes a few seconds to check your information, if you disrespect your viewers enough not to check your spelling, why should I point out your lax behaviour?

When will my eBay page close?

The answer lies with the sales 

I don't have a date for closing my eBay page; that decision lies with the buyers. For now, all I can say is that I won't be adding to the 30+ DVDs on sale, unless there are more sales, I don't see the point of adding items which are not selling.

Dynasty

 The Kapoor Family

                                                Cinema in India

Whether you look back to the begginings of the Cinema in India, or view today's scene in what is called Bollywood, one family has its threads running through all eras, the Kapoor family.

The great grandfather is Prithviraj Kapoor who often perforned with Durga Khote back in the late 40's. Until recently, with the ascent of Kareena Kapoor, and her sister, Karisma Kapoor, the most known were Raj Kapoor who founded R.K. Films, and his brother Shashi Kapoor who was married to Jennifer Kendall.

Though I enjoy most, not all, of the family, I dislike Rishi Kapoor, and Shakti Kapoor.

Long ago, I stopped trying to trace which member is related to which part of the family, as some of the family are related via uncles, and brothers of aunts. Being in the movie circle limits who your family see fit for you to marry, they are linked to the Tagore family a well-known Bengal family of poets via Kareena, who is married to Saif Ali Khan, the son of Sharmila Tagore.

Why did I decide to sell DVDs on eBay?

Indian DVDs for sale 

                                                                                       Error of Judgement

Many of the DVD selection I am trying to sell on eBay are through an error of judgement.

I bought some featuring ladies such as Madhuri Dixit, Raveena Tandon, and Rani Mukerji thinking I'd enjoy them, only to find I can't stand watching the lead actors such as Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Govinda to mention a few.

Now the shop is closing, I have learned to be more careful when buying a DVD.

The Reform UK Trend

 Is it really that big?

One thing you need to consider when charting the rise of anything, is how much the rise is caused by outside factors.

This I think is what is happening with Reform UK, they are not so much growing, after all Farage refused to challenge several key Labour seats, which when they fell would have enhanced his party.

I think a large proportion of the people who are saying they'd vote for Reform are Labour voters who feel wronged by Starmer, and his cronies.

Why shouldn't they?

A 61-year old man was put in jail, and died there, for speaking against a Muslim attacker; while men who attacked three policeman at Manchester Airport, breaking ones nose, were allowed to walk free for several weeks.

Add to this, cutting pensioners winter fuel allowance; cutting the allowance was NOT political, as many young people have grandparents who are pensioners, and now live in the cold wondering it is better to have a hot meal, or put the heating on for a short while?

If that isn't enough, illegal immigrants are being housed in hotels at the cost of the tax payer, while our young people are left on the streets; one young man died in a store car park last week   :( :(
