Pigs and Labour......and oh that middle east!

Hello I am the Sir Guestling and damn right to!
You know many people ask me to comment about current events? Why anyone would need the opinion of a retired diplomat like myself I don't know but there you are. 
Take this current furore about our Prime Minister and his alleged intimacy with a certain animal of the bacon variety, well storm in a teacup if you ask me, even if he did insert his cock in a porker, who bloody cares? Gives him some colour in his otherwise dreary background and after all which of us has not got some weird skeleton lurking somewhere in our back pages? David speaks to me from time to time, if he ever asked about this I'd tell him to big it up, in the modern vernacular, after all that would make his negotiations with other heads of state in Europe a bit more spicy, a man who fucked a dead pig, should not be messed with  eh Mrs Merkel!
Talking of leaders, this new Labour chappy, Corbyn, breath of fresh air, if you ask me, oh I know he's been around for ages, simmering on the back benches but now he is in charge, what a wheeze, he must look in the mirror every day and give a small smug snigger! That will teach you buggers for thinking I was the joke candidate, now look what the party has got! I'm no labour supporter, strictly a servant of whom ever is in power, in the diplomacy game but would it not be refreshing if he actually won a general election? He fooled his own party, who knows if he could not fool the electorate? I don't say he is not credible or serious about his policies, such as they are but a man in his sixties in mismatched clothing and a lefty, priceless!
Now about this migrant, refugee, asylum crisis. I can claim to have some expertise in this area from my days in the diplomatic service. Everywhere I served to a greater or lesser degree it was an issue one had to deal with, not on the current scale but I've dealt with a lot of displaced nationals who are trying to escape an untenable and often dangerous life threatening situation. Let us be clear, every person should have the right, to live in relative peace and want to protect their family and if I  and my family,was in serious danger of death, I'd bloody well want to get out too. It is a tragic and sickening disaster, what is going on in a number of middle east countries, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Palestine etc. human slaughter of the worst kind, crazy men trying desperately to either hang on to power or trying to obtain it, with religious divisions, even between those that are of the same faith. Twas ever thus!
The region has always been a powder keg, especially since the winning powers after WW2 carved things up as they always have done, throughout history. The West's and the rest of the world's, singular, in the main, poor mis-understanding of the tribal, religious, cultural and political nature of these countries has lead to the ever present turmoil that they are experiencing today. I'm not saying that the factions in these countries are not equally responsible for the suffering that goes on or that it might not have happened without our interference but I'm utterly convinced that we have made it 10 times worse. Good things have happened and not all relations between us are bad but I don't think we have helped as much as we have hindered!  The Iraq war of Blair and Bush, well need I say more!
The influx of displaced people from this region will not be solved, without the blindingly obvious, a solution to each country's internal struggles. Unfortunately it is hugely exacerbated by the fact that you cannot negotiate with ISIS or report on the war because they will just behead any reporter or journalist or it seems whomever it pleases them to execute! Complex, tragic, massively difficult, how do you change an ideology, how people think or believe and interpret their faith? It is very hard for most people, to understand how they are using the juxtaposition of modern social media and weapons to establish, what appears to us, as a barbaric middle ages type caliphate! And girls if you are tempted by this regime, think again they have no respect or use for women other than that that man has subjegated you for, over hundreds of years.
It really is a conundrum, shrouded in mystery and all wrapped up in an enigma! 
I will say this about fighting ISIS, you cannot go at it half hearted, if the West is going to bomb them, it is no good trying to be surgical about it, much as it pains me to say it, as a man of peace, they have to be wiped out, obliterated and if the consequences of such action means there will be collateral damage, perhaps that is a regrettable but necessary sacrifice. There is no peace with ISIS and no easy solution, every choice, will destroy peoples lives!
Easy for me to say!
Blimey, got all serious there for a line or two, well nobody said old Guesty was all fun and smiles. If the good lady reads this she'll tell me to keep my opinions to myself and stop being so bloody pretentious!
Guesty, she will say, nobody wants to read your scribblings on this stuff, delusions, you old fool, delusions!
She is probably right, after all opinions are like cocks, every other person has got one, eh!
