Seems as though poor old Tony Blackburn has been made a scapegoat in the findings of the Jimmy Savile case and was sacked by the BBC this morning. A real shame as Blackburn was accused seducing a 15 yr old girl, but it was later withdrawn, and he was cleared of any wrongdoing. A dark day for the BBC, having to apologise to the victims(rightly so) and losing a long-standing stalwart like Blackburn. They were found not guilty of being culpable as a Corporation. Some of the conclusions reached by Dame Janet Smith about Savile and Hall are nauseating in the extreme-what a pair of scum-bags!
I also noticed that the mighty Flying Scotsman steam engine has been reborn and ran from London to York this morning-it will be going on tour this year. One passenger, former politician and now presenter of a railway travel series, Michael 'choo-choo' Portillo was aboard-complete with garish green jacket! In an era of smartphones, clever cars and other gadgets and amazing futuristic machines, it is nice to know that something like a steam engine(although environmentally unfriendly burning all that fossil fuel(coal) ) can still get the crowds going and people practically wet themselves to travel on a piece of the past and our history. The Scotsman was the first railway engine to travel at 100mph too. Toot, toot!

Steam trains are fine till they stop in a tunnel - up till I was about 14 the trains to Glasgow were steam and they always stopped somewhere in the long tunnels coming into the city - after a couple of minutes you couldn't breathe

There is no such thing as free healthcare. Those who come to Canada to get it "illegally" are just sponging money out of Canadians. Heck, the Syrian invaders get better healthcare than Canadian Citizens. Canadians don't get dental coverage, but the invaders do, all on the poor Canadian taxpayer's back. The Ontario government is about to stick it to the working class again with a 5 cent/liter "carbon" tax. ***spit***

Mind you there are some fine films that have featured old trains - one that springs to mind - the fight sequence with Sean Connery & Robert Shaw in 'From Russia With Love' or if you want steam then 'The Titfield Thunderbolt', 'The Railway Children' and of course the Harry Potter series of films. My point is that steam seems to conjure up some sort of magic and mystery for people and that is carried over from childhood to adulthood. As I said environmentally-speaking it is not good and of course can be dangerous.

Indeed. Carlyle's fourth estate is now essentially a branch of a fifth column.

Sad to say, but it's looking like much of Europe should welcome total collapse:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...d=ss_tw-bottom http://nyheder.tv2.dk/krimi/2016-02-...-ytringsfrihed http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ty-senior.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz41BPpwxXY ...and so on. It's sad to watch a once mighty civilization die this way.
