You know when one has been around a while, you think you have a handle on how some things in this world work but in reality the longer you are around the less you know or at least the what you think you understand is befuddled and far less easy to understand.
In recent times the world has become unstable and results no longer seem, to many of us, to make sense. We feel out of touch and disengaged with what we have come to believe are the stable tenants and the norm. It appears that nobody is right or everybody is wrong! The so called establishment is not trusted and why should they be. The political elite and those with money and power and so far detached from the most of the population, they simply have no conception of what is going on. They talk and pontificate, promise much but deliver little. People like me sit on the sidelines sniping away on social media, spouting empty words into the ether, complaining but presenting no solutions or suggestions. Collectively we have largely forgotten or are to apathetic to actually get off our arses and actually be heard! So much needs to be changed, so much has become mired in red tape and bureaucracy. Simplicity and clarity are in short supply, no one says exactly what they mean for fear of being misinterpreted or being taken out of context.
Well this old diplomat is fed up to the back teeth with all of this crap. Our politics is shit. Many of our politicians are as much use as a one legged man at an arse kicking party. We get the people we deserve, we've had Cameron, Johnson, Osborne and Farage, he is a grinning poisonous knob-head and now we have Trump, another absolute git faced, hair wobbling, gurning, tosser. Teresa May, someone who wanted to be PM so badly she managed to do it without having any agenda at all and is rushing headlong to wards exiting Europe, without any real plan, simply because the "people have spoken". Corbyn what is he all about, has all the qualities of paint drying! There are worse leaders in the world, who are far more dangerous and evil than any of these but it does appear to be joke time in the in the old political arena, unfortunately the joke is on us!
So I urge you all of whatever persuasion your views may be to make your voice heard , not by the means of banal social media but by the almost forgotten method of protest, written, public, passionate, heartfelt! The vast majority of us have been apathetic for far to long and it needs to stop! I may shout from the roof tops that I disagree with you but at least we will be talking and let us do it using real language and honest words.
Our system is failing us and it is up to us to repair it and not the so called politicians, many of whom are University educated career politicians who have no fucking idea what real lives are like.
Stand up and start shouting do not retreat into your comfortable apathy and say its not your problem and there is nothing we can do about it, history proves that we are the only way things can change!
