I haven’t had time to watch much of Sir Ollie Robbins giving evidence to MP’s on the foreign affairs committee but some things struck me as quite odd, firstly it appears that it was annonced that Mandelson had the job of ambassador to the USA before he had security clearance and then Downing Street was pushing for him to have his clearance done on the hurry up, so much so there seems to have been a message from Dowing Street once again which apparently said, ‘get the fxxking thing done.’
There seemed to be quite a lot of jiggery-pokery going on from Downing Street and I personally found Sir Ollie a very creditable witness, we will have to wait to see the outcome but it all seemed to be somewhat underhand to say the least.
I expect I can’t be the only one who sometimes meet people and takes an instant dislike to them, you have no idea why, it’s just that gut feeling that they are a wron’un and I have to say Keir Starmer strikes me like that. He has his image of a human rights lawyer and left wing defender of the poor, although I seem to have seen very little action from this government to help anyone, let alone the poor. As I say, it’s just that gut feeling that the man is an absolute swine and would be happy to push anyone under the bus as long as it wasn’t himself.
We shall have to wait and see but invariably people like this always show their true colours eventually.
Let me know what you think, I’d be interested to know?
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
