John Kaponi Paper Review on Big George's Show

While I'm working, I frequently listen to ["Big"] George Webley's show on BBC London Radio. So much so that he has given me the nickname of "Doctor Robert". I like it because it allows me to honestly say, "I'm not a real doctor but I play one on the BBC".

John Kaponi is the editor of the TheLondonDailyNews.com. Once a week he appears on George's show, where the two of them do a fairly comprehensive review of the latest newspapers. Here's a video of part of their segment:

Big George's show used to begin at 2am London time but now starts at 10pm over there. If you live in North America, then you can listen to it at these times:

  • 2 - 6pm : Pacific
  • 3 - 7pm : Mountain
  • 4 - 8pm : Central
  • 5 - 9pm : Eastern
P.S. I know that this video seems a little dry & serious but most of the show is actually quite comical & lively. Listening to it is a great way to get a feel for the zeitgeist of the UK.

1980: Iranian Embassy Siege

On May 5, 1980 the infamous S.A.S. ended a 6-day mass hostage taking in London, England. You can watch part of it in these 2 videos:


I can't help from thinking that if the same event occurred today, the British soldiers would be brought up on charges by the horde of politically correct officials infested throughout the British Government. The charges? Why of course for not using a "measured response" to stop the terrorists.

This is the de facto charge against Israel these days every time it retaliates when rockets are fired against its citizens. If there is a God, she must be laughing at the absolute idiocy of so many of our species!

3 Young Murderers in England

Listening to Big George on BBC London Radio this evening, I've learned of the murder of a 47 year-old father in Cheshire, England. You can read more about the story here and watch videos on it here and here and here.

In the past month that I've been listening to this station, it's very clear that England is a much more socialist country than Canada. And this story should be a wake-up call to all Canadians of what happens when we let the proverbial pendulum of our country's society swing too far over to the liberal "anything goes" way of thinking.

Society's Downfall

On this rainy, dreary day Mark Steyn has a new article in Maclean's that will make you even more depressed. But it's an interesting read.

In it he quotes fellow Canadian writer George Jonas, who said: "Something isn't wrong because it's illegal, it's illegal because it's wrong!" How many people in the justice industry and the criminal industry have lost sight of this?

He also provides a startling statistic about England. Over there, the number of indictable criminal offences per thousand people was:

  • 2.4 in 1900
  • 9.7 in 1954
  • 109.4 in 1992
I'd love to learn what the stats are here in Canada. You can almost bet that the trends are the same.
