Help me out Blue-sky,
I woke up with first two lines of a comic version of the Devil went to Georgia. It starts:
The Devil went down to Clacton
He was looking for a poll to steal
But that is as far as I get, finish it of for me….

I see another Tory, Suella Braverman has defected to Reform . How can they now claim to be the party of change when they are stuffed full of the people who created this mess?

One of the levers of authoritarianism is “seize the media”

In the post Brexit Britain, Starmer has to cosy up to Trump in an effort to maintain the economic viability of the UK.
Our heavy reliance on the USA for our industry and defence makes it difficult to go against Trump and therefore it’s a difficult line to navigate for the British government.

As the famous saying goes….”The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Likewise, the best time to start weaning ourselves off dependence on the US……..

There seems to be a disconnect in British political reporting!
On the one hand I’m seeing reports that there is a majority who want to rejoin the European Union and the other we are being told that Reform are leading in the polls.
Both can’t be true, can they?

As an American manager once told me “we’re going to have to eat this elephant one piece at a time”.

In these uncertain times we should all remember that “the other side” are made up of people just like us. The best song that illustrates that Billy Joel Leningrad

We’ve got to decouple from fossil fuels ASAP only then will the influence and interference from the oil companies on our politicians stop 🛑

Brexit has been like being on the Titanic, it was said to be iron clad and unsinkable but nobody foresaw the iceberg of the pandemic

When the Daily Mail and its owners start paying tax in the UK, I’ll start taking what they say more seriously!

People are like electricity they both take the route of least resistance.
So when politicians tell them it’s someone else’s fault it’s easier than believing that they’re to blame.

My biggest personal sadness is that I don’t believe I will ever visit the USA again. 😢
