Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na….

Astonishing doesn’t even come close….

What choice did I have? On my reading of the weekend news via the BBC website, I happened upon 2 pieces of news that I find both confusing and disturbing, and felt the need to post to the blog for others to discover.

It would appear that, yet again, the sorry excuse for a government in the UK have passed the buck to the good old British public. With crime, coming from the "horses mouth", now totally out of control in the UK, stabbings nearly every week, shootings and so on, the people elected to lead the country, who extolled their "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime", have started It appears what they actually meant was "crime’s  tough, and a bit too tough for us to deal with the causes of crime." It seems the one thing you can always count on, is these idiots to be incapable of making a decision.

People should "stop moaning" and help tackle anti-social behaviour in their own area, the government may suggest.

And yet, on the same day, a 75 year old man, on confronting the yobs, as instructed to do by the elected government, has died. Who is now going to be tough on this particular crime? Who is going to be tough on the cause of this particular crime?

A 75-year-old man has died after he confronted three teenagers who were causing a disturbance outside his home.

If any one can clear this up for me, I really would appreciate it. I have an open mind and all suggestions are accepted.

As far as I was aware, the government and the police were supposed to protect the public.

Perhaps, all you readers in the UK, and any of you with relatives in the UK might like to remember, that the law belongs to you. Not the government, not the police, but the law abiding public.

Surely this is the road to vigilantism. All we need now is a special signal to illuminate the skies in our times of  darkest trouble, to call upon the services of certain Dark Knight and we can have crime on the run.

A Career in Day Trading….

When I was looking for work to do on our arrival in Canada, I came across an ad for people looking for a career in equities trading. I was curious, had no other job lined up, so thought I would give it a go.

I am now in my 6th month of day trading, and finally getting profitable. One word of advice; never underestimate the length of time or amount of cash you are going to need to start a career day trading.

Would I recommend it? I think it’s worth a go, to see if you have the right frame of mind to do this sort of thing. And trading for the firm I currently do, although you earn no money until you graduate, you are using their money while you learn. That alone made it a go-er for me.

So, now, I trade the forex markets, equities and also spread trading in the UK when I am there. It beats having a real job, but you may need to learn a thing or two before setting out on this kind of career. It really isn’t for everyone.

Yesterday, I started thinking…..

And so, after much thinking, and a row with the missus over the current state of the world, ("What's the point in shouting at me about it. Go and tell someone else!"), I thought I would.

Yeah, it's another blog, but if you want to read it, listen to my podcasts, download my music, watch some of my videocasts, and get involved in posting some comments, you're welcome.
