Hi and welcome to the John Gaul podcast. What, you're still alive? Yes, just about. There's

been times in the past year to 18 months when I've almost given up the ghost, but yes,

I'm back. But back in a different way, I'm going to do these podcasts and just in a

stripped down version. I did a teaser the other day and said, I feel like I've now got

strength to express my opinions and make podcasts again, maybe write some stuff. But I'm not

sure, because I've been really, really poorly. I'm not laying this on for sympathy. I'd

never been seriously ill in my life, but I've got to say I have been this past couple

of years. But now I feel as if I could do it again. And let's face it so much is happening.

I just need to talk about the state of this country, about the United Kingdom, not really

about the country, but about those who wish to lead us, whether it's Rishi and the

Tories, whether it's Labour and Kiss Marmer or whether it's the new media and how they

want to tell us what to think. I've had a lot of time to concentrate. Well, once I could

concentrate and think about the world and the way we're living. And I'm not very happy.

So you'll enjoy this, I hope. It's only a starter for 10. See what you think. I'm going

to do a few podcasts like this, just for me, the computer and my microphone. If you want

to comment, it's John at Johngorn.com. That's the email, J-O-N, of course, John at Johngorn.com.

Or go on my socials, as they call them nowadays, Twitter and on Facebook. But I've got to start

today by talking about that Robert Jenik. What an absolute tosser that man is. He's decided

that having a mural with Walt Disney characters painted on it in a refugee stroke, asylum stroke,

illegal migrant centre, a place where they're holding mostly kids, unaccompanied kids, is

given too much of a soft attitude, makes us look like a soft touch because there's nice

pictures of goofy and dumbo on the walls. Well, I'll tell you who is a dumbo, it's that idiot
