New Year Address

As we leave 2014 with our collective hangover and think of friends (and aeroplanes) lost, wars fought, senseless killings, scientific breakthroughs, disease, poverty, consumerism, the rise and fall of Mother Russia, the rise of China (again) and Cyber War we are faced with the prospect of Korean Peace in the Odd Ones new years address.

And has he put on a few pounds?

It was only a few weeks ago that he became the White House's latest pariah (again) and was upset by being ridiculed by Hollywood (as would any sane human being) and launched a Cyber attack against Sony - well, thats what the press wanted us to believe, except that it was a few disgruntled employees who plotted this one over the water cooler. And in retaliation the US took out North Koreas Internet, as if it actually has one.

Anonymous and the other collectives are beginning to become the new pariahs, so once the US leaves the middle east after setting up an independent Islamic State they can concentrate on the new menace.

So we leave 2014 with same problems that we entered it.

London will see a mass Exodus of people to places like Birmingham, Bristol and even Manchester as the average house price is out of reach of the average banker. London will become a playground for the Chinese, Malay and Saudis. One only has to look at what is happening to Battersea and Victoria and London Bridge to see the social cleansing in action.

In 2015 We have the joys of watching Honest Dave, Milipede, Falange and the Hippies fight it out for a seat in parliament and the most powerful seat in the land. And do we really care about democracy when we are faced with such lousy choices.

I was drinking a fine Cognac last night listening to Kate Bush as the fireworks lit up the Embankment, I managed to get a good roof top view as a guest of some hedge fund friends of mine, unlike the prols who now have to pay to stand for hours on the Embankment. And as Kate says I think that something good is going to happen.

Happy 2015 to all my readers, and those that dont.
