Day 229
Well RIP Des and well done Lewis.
I’ve just read that NHS staff parking is being raised by 200% by some authorities? If this is the case then I am lost for words. That staff who do such vital work at any time have to pay to park at all is regrettable but to raise their fee, in some cases to £720 per annum is outrageous!
Each report one reads almost irrespective of the country it is reporting appears to highlight the divide that exists in all of them. The world is divided in every sense, politically, racially, tribally, ideology, wealth, opportunity and much more. We believe we are so civilised and yet it seems there is more disharmony than ever before? Unfortunately with discord, violence is never far away! And once more I sight the ever crowded social platforms with spreading false and hateful incitement. People have always been susceptible to propaganda, the internet has made it so much it so much easier. Now of course these platforms under pressure have become paranoid and are starting to police the content. This is ridiculous, how can you trust FB, Twitter etc to censor themselves, they were responsible for allowing the publication of it all in the first place! They have far to much power and the wealth to resist. I love the internet and thing it has been one of the greatest innovations mankind has ever invented but as with all inventions it has very quickly became a double edged sword. Freedom is a tricky mistress and sometimes you have to accept the bad with the good. The all embracing reach of the web does mean that anyone can be sift through content that is contentious or at worse will indoctrinate. I am not going to delve into the fundamental reasons why you would look at this content to begin with, that is a whole other discussion!
Stay well
