  • Was the Covid19 virus released upon the world by a Shadow Organisation?

    A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actors, often political in motivation when other explanations are more probable. And, yet time and time again in our lifetime far fetched conspiracy theories have proven to be the truth. Don't believe me? Well, let me give you a brief snapshot of just some conspiracy theories that were scoffed at by many before ending up to be the actual truth. Conspiracy theories that actually turned out to be the Truth. The government was stealing dead bodies to do radioactive testing. During Prohibition, the government poisoned alcohol to keep people from drinking. A stroke rendered United States President Woodrow Wilson incapable of governing, and his wife surreptitiously stepped in. The Dalai Lama is a CIA asset. The FBI was spying on former Beatle John Lennon The government is using its vast resources to track citizens. The Gulf of Tonkin incident on August 2, 1964, was faked to provoke American support for the Vietnam War. Big Tobacco companies buried evidence that smoking was deadly. The Canada government was so paranoid about homosexuality that it developed a “gaydar” machine. The U.S Government has investigated UFOS for years. The CIA secretly gave LSD to unsuspecting individuals to test mind control. The U.S. Government employed Nazi scientists after World War II. The CIA spied on and controlled the American media. The U.S. government planned to commit domestic terrorism and blame Cuba. Osama bin Laden was hunted down through a fake vaccination program. All of the above is factually true and can be checked if you would like to do your due diligence. The list could go on for pages and yet if you had heard me mutter any of these before they were revealed to be true you would screech at me and claim I'm just a crazy deluded conspiracy theorist. And yet it was the CIA who is rumoured to have developed the term Conspiracy Theory. In his 2013 book, Conspiracy Theory in America, author Lance DeHaven-Smith traced the term “conspiracy theory” back to a CIA propaganda campaign that was designed to discredit doubters of the Warren Commission’s fake search into who assassinated President Kennedy in Dallas. In this light, the use of this pejorative term is obviously a tactic to shame and humiliate those who saw through the ulterior motives of the commission and thus effectively censor out or even banish anyone who questions official government accounts. I personally believe Covid-19 otherwise known as the Corona Virus is not a natural virus. In an article in the New Scientist dated 2015 scientists talk about a Lab Manufactured virus. The thinking goes - Did scientists carry on developing this virus? Or did the Chinese develop this virus in their bio-labs on the outskirts of Wuhan? It's plausible that through carelessness the virus could have escaped the Wuhan lab. Nothing is impossible when human error is factored into the equation. Yes, it's possible that this is a naturally occurring virus that simply jumped from Bats or another animal while in China. However, what makes me incredibly suspicious of this is the rate of infection that has happened in Iran at the same time as the infection happened in Central China. The Globalists and those who pull the Puppet Strings of Governments around the world have always considered Iran to be the enemy. And yet despite an infection starting some 5,600+ Miles away. The infection spread astronomically fast once in Iran. Reports suggest the first case wasn't reported until the 19th of February however I'm convinced this can't be true. Covid-19 seems to double every 7-10 days and yet within 4 weeks Iran has officially over 10,000 cases but reports suggest the figures to be 3-4x higher than they are actually stating. How did the infection spread so fast if it only really arrived on the 19th of February (today is 12th March 2020 when I write this). Iran does not have a Central Bank controlled by the Rothschilds. Which has made them a target for aggression by the Globalist controlled media and a possible target for the next war? The Rothschild family has slowly but surely had their Central banks established in every country of this world, giving them an incredible amount of wealth and power. In the year of 2000 there were seven countries without a Rothschild owned or controlled Central Bank: Afghanistan Iraq Sudan Libya Cuba North Korea Iran It is not a coincidence that the countries, which are listed above have experienced turmoil in the last 20 years either through war or simply attacked by the Western Globalist controlled mainstream media. It is my belief that these countries have been under attack over the last 20 years in some capacity because they did not or do not have a Rothschild-owned Central Bank yet. The first step in having a Central Bank established in a country is to get them to accept an outrageous loan, which puts the country in debt to the Central Bank and under the control of the Rothschilds. If the country does not accept the loan, the leader of this particular country will likely be assassinated and a Rothschild-aligned leader will be put into the position, and if the assassination does not work, the country will be invaded and have a Central Bank established with force all under the name of terrorism. The only countries left in 2020 without a Central Bank owned or controlled by the Rothschild Family are: Cuba North Korea Iran Cuba is slowly falling into place. North Korea was set to be put in the firing line but thankfully Donald Trump has stood in front of the shady Globalists who are keen to pick a war with North Korea. Over the last year, Iran has been the Globalist's target. War was being pushed by the MSM on a daily basis. So-called Liberals were vying for war and criticising Trump for not unleashing war on Iran. War under Trump didn't seem to be happening so in my mind it seems the Globalists came up with another plan. A plan that could target all their enemies and also allow them to seize even more wealth. So where does China come into all this you may ask? Well, China has fast become a superpower. Up until mid-2019 its current pace of growth would soon outpace that of the United States of America. This made many shadow puppet Globalist masters uneasy. They had their central bank in China but did they really have the control they wanted? It didn't seem to be the case as China was buying other nations' debt rather than following the Rothschild formula of issuing debt it couldn't afford to pay back. What this has meant; China hasn't been under the Central banker's control - something needed to be done. Those who worship the religion of Globalism and control the Central Banks had a plan to take out their two enemies and also depopulate a large chunk of Earth's population. Release a weaponised virus in the heart of China and blame it on the Chinese and do the same covertly to Iran. If the virus spawned in China the infection in my mind would take longer to get to Iran than it has done. Iran within weeks of the first infection now has 10s of thousands of cases most of which have not been reported. As testing, everyone is simply impossible. In the UK alone the maximum number of people being tested is only 2,000. Although they are talking that they will double that now. I've been following the stats on the virus daily. A great website to see the live stats can be found here. I really hope we can beat this virus but I'm fearful this is part of the plan. Just in the same way 9/11 was part of their plan that set the world on a journey back in 2001. Don't believe me about 9/11 - look at who benefited from the events that unfolded. And just like 9/11 was revealed and planned before it happened by the powers that be. It would seem Corona Virus Pandemic was planned before the current events started taking place. On September 11, at least five different "war games" were being conducted by the military and intelligence agencies. These exercises included simulations of 9/11 type events, a plane into building scenario near Dulles Airport in Virginia, and deployment of fighters to northern Canada and Alaska (which reduced the number of fighters that were available to protect the US?). It seems that these exercises were the means used to paralyze the air defences, thereby ensuring the success of the "attacks." The British Navy was conducting exercises in the Indian ocean near the Middle East. A bio-war exercise was also about to start in New York City. Who has the power to coordinate all of these exercises? Osama bin Laden? Saddam Hussein? Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah? Dick Cheney and the White House National Security Council? It is difficult to believe that it is a bizarre "coincidence" that the military and CIA were conducting wargames similar to 9/11 on September 11, 2001. While it seems likely, if not blatantly obvious, that these war games were one of the means used to confuse the air defence system for sufficient time to allow the World Trade Center to be attacked, the war games do not answer the question of how the air defences were suppressed for another half hour after the second tower was hit (at which time everyone knew that an attack was in progress). The Air Force had another half hour after the second tower to scramble interceptors to defend the Capitol (the plane that is alleged to have hit the Pentagon made its 180 degrees turn over Ohio to head back toward D.C. about the time that the second tower was struck). A similar war game event was run on the same day 7/7 took place. There were people in London playing a game that showed explosions going off on the London Underground. And then it happened. And yet just like 9/11 where the war games were practised ridiculously on the day - either as a way to distract the air force or simply as a way to reveal the truth. The coronavirus was practised before the plan was put into place. Back in October 2019, the Bill Gates Foundation ran a "Virus War Game" into what would happen if the Corona Virus Pandemic took place. Coincidence or are the Elites revealing their cards once again? They did this in the form of Event 201. The name is very close to Agenda 21 don't you think? The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences. It is said the New World Order reveal before they act on something. Of course, many will say this is a standard Forum. These things happen all the time. Well, members of the Jury, I'm not convinced - just, in the same way, there were short sellers of Airline stocks in the days leading up to 9/11 (people knew). I'm convinced people knew this was going to happen. And Octobers John Hopkins Forum was the last test run before going live with the Virus attack on our world. Is Covid-19 more likely to target specific genetic groups? Only time will tell. If this was not a naturally occurring virus and it was released by a Shadow group of people then did they already take the vaccine? Of course, I am only speculating - I am simply asking questions that the mainstream media will not ask. Trillions of dollars have been lost from the Financial Markets since this Pandemic began. When markets Shrink it's always the Elite who prosper. It gives the very wealthy the opportunity to mop up assets when everyone else is panicking in the fire sale. We were overdue a rinsing of the system - this rinsing will knock out small businesses across all industries. Only the cash-rich will survive. *****UPDATE***** May 14th 2020 - I've done an update to this post with the following post - https://www.thewonderingenglishman.com/post/i-may-have-been-wrong-about-covid-19 Do Click on where I update my Analysis *****

  • 24 hours in Oslo - Norway

    I found myself back in Oslo after having not been there in over 7 years. Prior to this, I had spent almost 5 years there on a part-time basis. Would I have liked to have returned sooner - of course! Would I have liked to return in the Summer rather than winter - even more so! Oslo is very accessible to those living in north-western Europe - especially those in the UK. I used to commute back and forth from Oslo on a weekly basis all thanks to the bargain-priced flights often supplied from Ryanair. If you are interested in commuting between Oslo and the UK or simply needing a weekend break to Oslo - Norway. Once again I would advise using Skyscanner as your go-to tool when searching for cheap flights. I would also advise the summer is your friend in Norway rather than the winter unless you are gifted with Viking blood. If you are curious about how one spends 24 hours in Oslo on a cold dark day then once again I made a video for my YouTube Channel "The Wondering Englishman". In this video, I visit the site of the July 22nd 2011 Terrorist Bomb attack. I observe what has changed in the last 7 years and I try to take in as much as possible. Join me on that adventure! Over the years, I've had the fortune to stay in an array of hotels, apartments and various forms of accommodation while visiting Latvia. For the majority of travellers, I recommend Booking.com - yes, there are hotel comparison websites such as Trivago and Kayak. However, from my years of travel experience, I've discovered both of these comparison websites do not have all the hotels, hostels and apartments listed. The reasons behind this could be some premises simply do not pay the comparison sights a fee or the reason could be something else. If you know of the reason, do leave a comment below. However, I have discovered no matter what the location Booking.com will 9/10ths of the time have the most competitive deal and generally more choice. However, if you are super keen to get the best deal- use Booking.com, Kayak, Trivago, Lastiminute.com and Hotels.com in separate browser windows. An alternative which I do recommend for your accommodation is Airbnb. The city authorities still allow Airbnb in the city (it hasn't been banned just yet). I've booked several apartments via Airbnb. If you have not used them before (you have probably been living under a rock). But if you use this referral link you will get many Dollars or Euros off your first booking, and I'll get a very small referral kickback.

  • Solomun @ Printworks London & 26 Leake Street

    Solomun is one of the hardest working DJ's in the industry. He has this work hard, play hard attitude. Without question, he is also one of the most demanded DJ's around today. And for that reason when he was last in London I took it upon myself to make sure I attended the main event at London Printworks & also the afterparty at 26 Leake Street. What a night that was! If you would like to see a snippet in the form of just over 30mins from the 9 hours of Techno then you are in luck. Here is that video! #Techno #Solomun #LondonClubbing #LondonNightlife

  • A weekend in Dnipro - Ukraine

    Have you ever had the pleasure of visiting Dnipro? Yes, No, Where is that? One of those could be your response. Well, I recently went to Dnipro - so you don't have to! Actually, for every place I visit, I hope you will eventually visit. Every place in the World has a charm at some point in its history. Few of us would want to visit an ISIS stronghold - but before those cretins made it a stronghold it was probably worth visiting. The hope is, one day when they are gone the place they once occupied may be worth visiting again. Thankfully Dnipro isn't an ISIS stronghold - it's one of Ukraine's major cities and this being a place in Ukraine made me want to visit it. Why, you ask? The main reason - I had never been there before and I like the people of Ukraine. In my mind, that's the perfect reason! Those who follow my YouTube channel will not be surprised to learn that I made a video about that experience. What you will notice as the video goes on - I warmed to the place. Yes, it was sketchy in parts. Yes, the roads were full of holes and very little was open at night, but the city had its charms. Here is that weekend I spent in Dnipro. To truly understand the city of Dnipro you need 2-3 days. And given its size staying anywhere around the city will suffice. There are a variety of options to pick from. Over the years, I've had the fortune to stay in an array of hotels, apartments and various forms of accommodation while travelling. For the majority of travellers, I recommend Booking.com - yes there are hotel comparison websites such as Trivago and Kayak. However, from my years of travel experience, I've discovered both of these comparison websites do not have all the hotels, hostels and apartments listed.

I love Airbnb because not only does it make travelling more affordable but it also allows you to stay off the beaten track. Staying with a local or in a cottage is far more unique than staying in a generic hotel you could find anywhere in the world. Use the map below to search for the perfect Airbnb stay within walking distance of the centre of Dnipro. I hope you have a great time in Dnipro Estonia should you visit.

  • Budapest - Central Europe's Finest City?

    I'm a big fan of Budapest - many have at moments compared it to Paris. Possibly conjuring up memories as they wandered through the streets in a daydream or skipped along the river bank. It's easy to see why. However, it is its own unique wonderful city. Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River Danube. Its 19th century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from Roman times onward. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views. If you are thinking of visiting this wonderful city - maybe I can direct you to a series of videos I recently made about the city (Don't worry they aren't long this time!). Arriving in Budapest via the Airport: Where should you stay when you are in Budapest? A swanky Hotel, Budget Hotel or maybe an Airbnb? Well, I've stayed in all of them - but I made a video about the last Airbnb I stayed in - just for your browsing pleasure - Enjoy! Now, of course, there are plenty of things you can do when you are in Budapest. The number one tourist attraction is "The Hungarian Parliament" building. I thankfully (finally) had the pleasure of visiting this. The Budapest Castle Hill Funicular. A great way to get to the top of Buda and once at the top I visited the Harry Houdini Museum. And the incredibly moving House of Terror Museum: Needing to cleanse the sins of the past or just needing a break from the hustle and bustle of Budapest. Then I highly recommend visiting St. Stephen's Basilica - This is Hungary's most significant and important Church. Once emersed in it you can understand why. And no tour of Budapest would be complete without taking in one of the many Ruin Bar / Clubs in Budapest. In this video, I walk around the Szimpla Kert - the original Budapest Ruin bar. On other trips I visited the hot baths and numerous sights - I think it would be best for you to see these for yourself or maybe I'll head back and make more videos. If you want to book a flight to Budapest from your nearest local Airport I always advise using the wonderful website Skyscanner Skyscanner, in my mind, at least is the easiest way to find affordable flights for dates that suit you. Some people prefer Kayak or Google but for me when searching European Flights I think Skyscanner works best. Obviously try to be as flexible as possible on your dates of travel to get the best deals possible. Have fun Travelling!

  • Top Christmas films of all Time!

    Christmas a time to give thanks for the Birth of Christ. The clue is in the name. We say Merry Christmas, not Merry Holidays! And I would consider myself Agnostic and the celebration doesn't offend me and nor should it offend anyone! It's a time for everyone to get together with their families, friends and special people. Eat more than you should, drink a few more than is acceptable (Hence why you say Merry before the magical word Christmas), relax and kick back and watch at least one Christmas movie. When there is so many to choose from - which should you pick? Well here is my - Top 10 List of Christmas Films of All Time! 10) Gremlins (1984) Perfect Film to watch after Midnight Mass. A boy inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town. Director: Joe Dante Writer: Chris Columbus 9) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Jim Carrey is perfect in this. On the outskirts of Whoville lives a green, revenge-seeking Grinch (Jim Carrey) who plans to ruin Christmas for all of the citizens of the town. Director: Ron Howard Writers: Dr. Seuss (book), Jeffrey Price (screenplay) 8) The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) A Beautiful movie and you can actually watch it with all the family. Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but his attempts to bring Christmas to his home causes confusion. Director: Henry Selick Writers: Tim Burton (story and characters), Michael McDowell (adaptation) 7) Predator (1987) This may not be a Christmas movie to anyone else - but for some reason, I've watched this movie every Christmas since I first saw it as a kid. It's a classic film that seems to get me in the Christmas spirit. Arnold Swazernegger at his best. A team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior. Director: John McTiernan Writers: Jim Thomas, John Thomas 6) Trading Places (1983) Now while I will admit this film is best watched between Christmas and New Year it is Wall Street Perfection. A snobbish investor and a wily street con artist find their positions reversed as part of a bet by two callous millionaires. Director: John Landis Writers: Timothy Harris, Herschel Weingrod 5) Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) Just like the Terminator series this sequel is better than the original. What's not to like it even has Donald Trump making a Cameo! One year after Kevin McCallister was left home alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, he accidentally finds himself stranded in New York City - and the same criminals are not far behind. Director: Chris Columbus Writer: John Hughes 4) A Christmas Carol (2009) Jim Carrey once again is on form in this animated Dickens classic. Wonderful viewing. Massively underrated - deserving of viewing if you haven't seen it. An animated retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions. Director: Robert Zemeckis Writers: Robert Zemeckis (screenplay), Charles Dickens (novel) 3) Elf (2003) Christmas comedy heaven that leaves you feeling simply magical and a believer once again. After discovering he is a human, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole decides to travel to New York City to locate his real father. Director: Jon Favreau Writer: David Berenbaum 2) Die Hard (1988) For some people, this is the Christmas film of the year. And in reality, I can't think of a year where I haven't watched this Christmas classic. It doesn't get any better than Bruce Willis spraying bullets everywhere! An NYPD officer tries to save his wife and several others taken hostage by German terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles. Director: John McTiernan Writers: Roderick Thorp (novel), Jeb Stuart (screenplay) 1) Scrooged (1988) It would seem 1988 was an amazing year for Christmas movies. Maybe I was just very impressionable that year but who can complain when you have Bruce Willis and also Bill Murray both at the cinema. For me, Bill Murray just about beats Willis to the finishing line with the Dickens classic. That's 2 in the top 10! A selfish, cynical television executive is haunted by three spirits bearing lessons on Christmas Eve. Director: Richard Donner Writers: Mitch Glazer, Michael O'Donoghue Merry Christmas! To you and your loved one! And have a happy New year! Alex van Terheyden

  • Bigmouth Strikes Again

    There are few greater songwriters in the world as Morrissey. His vocals are distinct and unique. The passion and fire he has brought to his music over the years certainly haven't faded from him as the years have crept by. Unlike most successful artists who have been drenched with money and praise for years, he hasn't lost his touch with what is going on in the world. Morrissey calls a spade a spade and doesn't curtail to Political Correctness. The easy path to take in life is the one with the least resistance. There are days I wish I had taken the easiest path in life. Life would be very different right now if I had taken that path. Agreeing with the thought police, nodding along to what everyone around you has been conditioned to say and think. Life would be different and maybe I wouldn't be writing this. However, like Morrissey, I have Irish blood and an English heart. Maybe it's this combination that gives you that fire - maybe it's just a coincidence! Who really knows, all I know is Steven Patrick Morrissey can do no harm as he digs at The Guardian. In his most recent USA, gig Morrissey wore a "Fuck the Guardian" T-Shirt (NME Article). The Guardian is a British hating / Western hating newspaper staffed by Social Justice Warriors who take pleasure in destroying those who think differently to them. They are the 1984 thought police who label everyone who isn't siding with their radical left outlook on life all names under the sun. I'm glad someone like Morrissey is able to call out this god-awful newspaper as very few individuals in the limelight would ever dare. I'll be wearing my T-Shirt to show my disdain for The Guardian. Will you be? F**k the Guardian Merchandise

  • Techno Viking Forever

    It's almost been 20 years since the greatest Techno Meme was created. That meme, of course, is the "Techno Viking". The original 4-minute video was shot by experimental video artist Matthias Fritsch at the Fuckparade on 8 July 2000 begins with the title "Kneecam No. 1". The camera is on a group of dancing people with a blue-haired woman in front. A man stumbles into the scene grabbing the woman. A bare-chested man (known colloquially as the Techno Viking) wearing a Mjölnir pendant enters the scene while turning to that man. He grabs him by the arms and the camera follows, showing the confrontation. The bare-chested man pushes the guy back in the direction he came. He looks at him sternly and then points his finger at him, ensuring he behaves. Then the camera follows the bare-chested man as the techno parade continues. Another observer comes from the back of the scene offering an inverted bottle of water to him. As the situation calms down, the bare-chested man starts to dance down Rosenthaler Straße to techno music. I decided as I was in Berlin it would be appropriate to visit Rosenthaler Straße. I was able to see what's changed in almost 20 years and also to pay homage at least in my head to that day with the Techno Viking. Here is that experience lasting 4 minutes. If you liked this - Buy me a Coffee via Ko-Fi or if feeling less generous just Subscribe to my YouTube Channel - it will be greatly appreciated! TECHNO VIKING FOREVER!

  • Banksy sets up shop in Croydon

    I've been a fan of Banksy since the days when he/she/they would spray my local neighbourhood with interesting Stencils. At first, my friends and I who lived in Shoreditch would scratch our heads at why we would see all these stencil "Rats" everywhere. Then the stencils would become more interesting from The Maid on the side of Hoxton Squares' White Cube Gallery to the Pulp Fiction Banana stencil by Old Street Station. As I and the world grew to love seeing Banksy art it became part and parcel of our culture. You couldn't avoid seeing a Banksy somewhere in London either as a reproduction poster or postcard of some flavour. Even my Twitter profile has remained the same Banksy since day 1. However, many years have passed and artists have come and gone but Banksy is still making headlines. The mainstream news loves him as does the public at large. His/Her/Their Art is Political and usually relevant to the front pages of the news. As Banksy had set up Shop in Croydon - I decided to go along and see what it was like. This is that experience via my YouTube Channel. #StreetArt #Banksy

  • Berwick Street - Soho - Mad for it!

    Back in the day when we actually used to buy Albums - Album covers were extremely important. I recall I would grip hold of the album and dissect it for all it's detail while laying back and listening to the recently purchased Album. One particular album that got a lot of attention was the second Oasis album. (What's the Story?) Morning Glory! Why did this album get so much of mine and the attention of the world? Well, the first Album was so monumentally good (Definitely Maybe) the second album had to be bought and then overplayed, again and again, to relive the magic of Definitely Maybe. And this was when pocket money was thin on the ground so any extra money I earnt had to come from part-time jobs. Hence any money spent on Albums was going to treasured and valued. (What's the Story?) Morning Glory! by Oasis for at least a few years of the '90s was one of my many treasured albums. It sat proudly on my shelf when it wasn't open and being played cosy between Definitely Maybe and 1997's Album "Be here Now". And as I listened to the rifts, melodies and noise of Oasis blaring out of my needlessly large speakers I would stare at the Album cover and wonder what it was all about. Well, the iconic Album cover photo for Oasis' classic Britpop album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was taken on Berwick Street in Soho, London, a street famed for its independent record shops and features two men walking are – Brian Cannon, art director and Sean Rowley and the photograph was taken by Michael Spencer Jones. I did not know that in the future as my love for Techno would bring me into contact with this street on such a frequent basis. I've spent many an hour listening to and thumbing records in the numerous record shops on Berwick street over the years. I even managed to meet one of my favourite DJs accidentally in one of the record shops - Maceo Plex. However, as I had my camera with me recently I wanted to explore the street for my YouTube Audience on My YouTube Channel "The Wondering Englishman". Here, is that exploration. #Oasis #LiamGallagher #NoelGallagher #BritPop #Indie #90sAlbum .

  • Why has Brexit not happened yet?

    Imagine you land back on Earth and more specifically the UK having been up in Space for the last 5 years. The term Brexit would be new to you. To the rest of us we are so bored of hearing "Brexit" - most of us, if pressed, will be pleased to hear the last of it. However, sadly we still remain in the European Union and the will of the people has yet to happen. The next deadline is Halloween (October 31st 2019) - will the UK finally leave the EU or will it be stifled by the Judges, Lawyers, MPs and Mainstream Media and come November 1st 2019 we will still be inside the EU? The odds of us leaving moving up and down every day. GBP/USD swings in both directions as traders take views and speculate what will happen while the rest of us grow fatigued or get very angry. The Fake News Mainstream Media want us to be fatigued - they want Joe Public to give up on the idea of Brexit. They want us to believe the process is so overcomplicated that we should just remain part of the EU. This is the Globalist agenda to keep the UK in the EU. They do not want the EU to fail as the EU is a stepping stone to One World Government. A vision they have for our future where there is only One Government and it's put there by the Corporations and the Elites. I enjoy a good debate but the whole Brexit debate is a sure-fire way to ruin a dinner party or a social get together for some reason it triggers the most fragile snowflakes (usually those who can't debate). So from time to time, I like to wander over to Westminister to try and engage with those who have a different view to me. In my latest video, I found myself in Westminister engaging with Remonaics and meeting some very woke Leavers. Sense my Bias? It's my Blog - I'm allowed to be biased. :)

  • Is Majorca (Mallorca) good for a short break?

    Like pretty much everyone on the planet, who is living above the bread line, I'm a fan of bargain flights. Anyone paying attention to my YouTube Channel "The Wondering Englishman" or even this blog will be aware of my passion for travel. However, most of us have to work and have a limited number of holiday days a year, so short breaks for Europeans and those visiting Europe are more popular than ever, due to the explosion in budget airlines who are willing to fly to pretty much any destination in Europe for the same price of a movie ticket at your local cinema. Realising I could go visit Majorca (also spelt as Mallorca) for a steal I decided to go visit the largest Balearic island instead of Ibiza. In 3 days I discovered how marvellous Palma de Mallorca is, how terrible Magaluf is and how it's an island I must now go back and visit again. Hopefully, you can join me on this journey where I discover Majorca over 3 days. Over the years I've had the fortune to stay in an array of hotels, apartments and various forms of accommodation while travelling. For the majority of travellers, I recommend Booking.com - yes there are hotel comparison websites such as Trivago and Kayak. However, from my years of travel experience, I've discovered both of these comparison websites do not have all the hotels, hostels and apartments listed. The reasons behind this could be some premises simply do not pay the comparison sights a fee or the reason could be something else. If you know of the reason do leave a comment below. However, I have discovered no matter what the location Booking.com will 9/10ths of the time have the most competitive deal and generally more choice. However, if you are super keen to get the best deal- use Booking.com, Kayak, Trivago, Lastminute.com and Hotels.com in separate browser windows. An alternative which I do recommend for your accommodation is Airbnb. The city authorities still allow Airbnb in the city (it hasn't been banned just yet). I've booked a number of apartments via Airbnb. If you have not used them before (you have probably been living under a rock). But if you use this referral link you will get many Dollars or Euros off your first booking and I'll get a very small referral kickback. Thanks for reading - Keep Progressing - see you on my YouTube Channel!
