My friend Barnabas is a priest with a very Catholic sense of humour …
A business executive was in a quandary - he’d been invited to an audience with the Pope on the same day he had a meeting with DJT
He asked his PA for advice, “I’d go see the Pope -he’ll only expect you to kiss his hand.”

Vulture capitalism is destroying lives - and the planet - but you have to suck it up because otherwise you’ll be like Sweden!

You can indeed, wait another 50 years for the “benefits” of Reaganomics to trickle down your way, if you want to, or you can listen to different voice. Spoiler: Our governments aren’t on the gold standard, are the only source of currency, and can always pay their debts. ⬇️

I’ve watched in disbelief as you youngsters have been persuaded that comprehensive housing, education and healthcare services cannot be afforded, when billionaires, endless wars and the profligate destruction of our planet can. You are being suckered.

As the headteacher of a village school I read my predecessors accounts of waves of childhood diseases striking the pupils, diptheria, polio, measles, chicken pox, resulting in some disabilities and the occasional death.

The benifits were never free of course, they were funded by National Insurance and a fair taxation system. Back in the day, we had good services and high taxes, now we just have high taxes.
2. When I was a child my friend Gary died of polio. Which I didn’t, get because I was vaccinated.

It’s understandable. There are two things you can do. 1. Accept this madness has to run its course, and limit your exposure. 2. Resist. Every act of forgiveness, of generosity, of love and truth-telling IS resistance. Every kind word and deed tears down a stronghold. Have courage. Keep the faith. ❤️
