IF you even bothered to watch it, I’ve no doubt you thoroughly enjoyed the cock-up at the Oscars ceremony last week.
As usual the ‘stars’, who often find it impossible to connect two words without a script, were utterly tongue-tied at the mix up, producing more waffles than Dick’s fast food Diner.
True to form, in their usual predictable arrogance, a number of them subsequently decided to use the opportunity to spout their knowledge of world affairs. Why is it, that purely because they have attained success in their particular field, they automatically assume they have now earned the right to deliver their political views to all and sundry? As entertainers, theirs is primarily a profession that should help its fans to escape, not indulge in the trials and tribulations of our real, often depressing existence.
Why don’t they stick to what they are grossly overpaid for?
We also need to remember that most of the ‘stars’ of the acting industry are uneducated drop outs. High school failures, who decided that egotistic greatness was more important than educational gratification. Hardly the qualifications that give them the right to advise us on world issues.
If I want to listen to politicians I’ll tune in to ‘Politics Today’ or ‘PMQ.’ Give us a break. They are of course often encouraged to regale us with rubbish.
I actually recall that when I achieved my ‘overnight stardom’, (twinkle twinkle!), I was suddenly inundated by a whole host of media outlets for my views on just about everything; from politics to puritism.
All I had actually achieved to suddenly become an authority on all these Earthly affairs, was to warble a three minute, albeit quite catchy, tune on a bit of vinyl! Hardly a qualification to become a bottomless pit of invaluable knowledge!
Oh, and by the way, I am increasingly of the view that Trump could become one of the truly great Presidents of American history.
Wot ya mean,’practice what you preach?’ I’m a columnist now, innit!
Keep the faith…

Notice Trump NEVER provides any evidence for his outrageous allegations. He just makes things up. Remind you of anyone? Like Leapy, for instance?
Following Trump’s crazy tweets saying Obama wiretapped him, his loyal minion Sean Spicer said Obama got Britain’s GCHQ to do it! Here’s his quote, “He didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI, and he didn’t use the Department of Justice, he used GCHQ.” How on Earth? And where’s the evidence? Well, there is none.
Here’s GCHQ’s unprecedented reply. “Recent allegations… about GCHQ being asked to conduct wiretapping against the then president-elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.” GCHQ’s words, not mine. Then it took further intervention from number 10 before the current White House Mafia decided to grudgingly issue a statement that they won’t repeat the allegations. Somebody should tell them once something is said, it can not be unsaid. Take note Leapy!
But our very own Leapy STILL professes his absolute admiration for this paranoid, fantasist, liar of a president.
Takes one to know one, but which one’s worse? Trump or Leapy? Well, one of them thinks he’s smart for hiding his tax returns. The other just thinks he’s smart.
The mystery of the disappearing posts… I wonder does the EWN web system just delete or misplace them or does someone come along and delete some every so often? On practically every columnists list of comments that one day you read, there seem to be more on one day than on other days… but when there are less there are always less. Doesn’t seem to make this a very reliable comments system to be honest! On the posts that appear to suddenly disappear… I could understand if they were offensive of sorts but none of the comments that seem to disappear have been offensive, from what I have ever remembered! I am not referring to mine BTW although I have noticed that on one list of comments when I made a second on the same list and it was posted the first mysteriously disappeared… very odd way to run a comments list!
