Cooking Doesn’t Get Tougher Than This!
It doesn’t get more entertaining either. Masterchef is back and, yet again, it’s better than ever.
The producers have made some little tweaks here and there. All of them are improvements. The individual skill test in front of Greig and John is wonderful, confrontational, dramatic, even excruciating at times!
It is extraordinary that even the very best restaurants will now let in Masterchef contestants as guinea pigs in their kitchens. That is the power of television.
The secret ingredient? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- it’s the music. That’s what makes it so compelling. It’s the relentless driving beat. I don’t know whether it’s house or trance or what but it’s addictive. It’s the one. I’m totally, utterly, obsessed, enslaved to it. I couldn’t dream of turning over!
Cameron Takes Charge
I am tremendously impressed with David Cameron. His light has been hidden under the bushel of the coalition for too long. His courageous words in Turkey and India have reminded me that he is a true leader. Tonight’s excellent BBC documentary, Five Days That Changed Britain, reminds me that it was his bold leadership that initiated the coalition, an idea that is proving stronger and cleverer than anyone can have thought.
He has said precisely the right thing about Turkey, Israel, Gaza, India and Pakistan. He has spoken the truths that so many others have been afraid to. I am proud that he is our prime minister. He fills me with confidence that he knows his direction and will stick firmly to it. He is nobody’s fool and everybody’s champion. He is a man who I am very prepared to trust, to give him the time he needs to achieve the big ambitions.
David Cameron is the right man at the right time. We should all give him our support.
In Defence Of Nick Griffin
I am not a supporter of the BNP but I defend their right to campaign for their policies, especially those individuals who have been elected to office.
Despite his crass, discourteous behaviour, it was a mistake to have Nick Griffin barred from the Queen’s garden party. He was invited there as an elected MEP and he should have been welcomed in accordance with his office.
A bad mistake. Far too clumsy to have been made by any member of the Royal Family itself.
The Right To Bear Arms
Truth, justice and freedom are dead in the United Kingdom.
We now live in a police state where brutality and murder is sanctioned by government institutions.
In the USA a citizen’s ultimate defence against state oppression is the second amendment to the Constitution and the right to bear arms.
We need this protection in the UK now.
