Most days of the year I write a few words on what I consider as either a timely subject or a reflective piece and every Monday The Argus newspaper publishes that days blog in a column entitled ‘I do like Mondays’. Most of what I write has a political nature, not in an overt party political sense but to quote Wikipedia “Politics (from Greek: politikos, meaning “of, for, or relating to citizens”) is the practice and theory of influencing other people on a civic or individual level”. Although my own politics are left of centre the current model of political parties with their various controlling interests and thirst for power is well and truly broken. It is also hard to find a party which is competent enough to take charge of our nation for any length of time, and certainly not for five years as our current Governments have demonstrated! The dogma that lies behind each of these parties is too strong to go unchallenged until such time as these parties are willing to acknowledge their fundamental weaknesses. In any case it is vital for independent voices to speak out so that there is a strong counter narrative. Thanks for reading these posts and do please provide me with feedback.

Hi Ian have you seen this report http://t.co/cViwjUHRdk we need more people to talk about RTO and how we can regulate it. Thanks
Hi Sally, I am aware of the problems with door step lending and payday lenders. I would certainly write something about either of these issues if I felt I had something to say, thank you for the suggestion.
Сe pst estt vraiment plein de bon sens
Merci
Dear Ian
Just a passing greeting from you namesake Ian Chisnall 🙂
Many thanks Ian, I love your postings.
You’re most welcome Ian – thanks for following my blog – not that I post very often!
Ian
I’m writing about the PCC 2016 elections.
Did you get so many votes in 2012 just because you an Independent or was there a strategic publicity campaign ?
Thanks
John
Thanks for the question John, I know we have now spoken, but for anyone else interested, i worked for around 18 months to build up my profile amongst groups of people I considered would be motivated to vote. The fact that this pathetic Government and its predeccesor think it is ok to hold £70M elections without spending smaller sums to ensure that all of us know who the candidates are is a sign that democracy in its current form is in need either of a coffin or CPR.
I like LibDem candidate’ s website http://www.jameswalsh.org.uk
What a corker – about as much preparation as David Rogers put in last time
Great Argus Opinion letter. .As you state we all make mistakes. However your mistake in turning a blind eye to corruption takes some beating.
An apology from the Home Office! See Brighton Scandal.
Ian, I look forward to your posts, often an oasis of sense!
Cheers Bernie, I am delighted to see your comments and to be in touch.

Do you think thats why the HM Court system has offered to kill us?..i would say that the 14000 deaths cover up is enough to cause a bit of panic so can you blame the Police for using violence whilst advising us they were sent by HM Religion to prevent the public being warned they are in danger.

23.12.24. SENT TO K BADENOCH. CONS PTY. Is that so. Not quite as easy as that. How about all the compesation that will have to be paid when you start admitting what you have been up to. We incl the 14000 or so avoid deaths and manic corruption that during 35 yrs traipsing Cent London generated 1000pp evidence and caused us to experience death threats from HM Courts and violence from manic, pig ignorant Police. Then theres the determined attempts to prevent us from working. Not forgetting the scams within HM CPS/BAR COUNCIL/ PRISONS/DEPT HEALTH/ RELIGIONS/LOCAL GOVt. ENTRE MEDIA INCL TIMES/BBC. yet no mention of any of that within your org nor any mention of rigged election. We dont know any immigrant who has killed 14000 people if you do then give details. So, according to the Police ‘The public must Be prevented from reading the evidence’ EH. And if we pick up our food from the grass we will be arrested EH. And social media (who destroy evidence on behalf of bogus Govt).is having talks with Govt and the corrupt Notts Uni and the corrupt Times media and the corrupt Electoral commission. This is what my family came to this country to avoid after they were being hunted by Police. And you are going to admit all this? You are not living in the real world so why are you allowed to be in Politics? When you get a break from fantasy why dont you write back and instruct us HOW TO ENGAGE AND PARTICIPATE IN DEMOCRACY. Cos in 35 yrs no one else has managed to explain it. Massive exposure soon all over this country and that will incl the statements made by EEC Parl as follows-‘Nothing Can be done about Corruption 14000 deaths or the Police attacks on you.And- How about the Conserv Pty statement-‘Theres noting wrong with UK and nothing needs changing’. If you K Badenoch ever wake up you will need a new prescription.You lived in Wimbledon? Do you mean n Tooting. That area full of corruption, probly the most crrpt Local govt in Europe
We have not had time to consider refs to ‘ARGUS’ media. We hope that does not refer to SX and Brighton.
