SIR GUESTLING THORN

 Day 273

Word of the day:OCHLACRACY mob rule Other cracies KAKISTOCRACY government by the worst of citizens ARISTOCRACY government by the best of citizens later the elite IDIOCRACY Government by idiots DEMOCRACY government by the people!

Wendy and I are fed up! Just generally fed up, I know we are not alone. There is little in the way of anything at present to cheer ones soul! 

Here is one reason why. This pandemic will not be solved simply by the application of a vaccine and those who think it will be are sadly labouring under the misguided idea that soon we will be back to life as we knew it! The underlying problems of our and many other countries has been brought into stark relief during this viral attack and they have not been addressed nor will they be, no matter how much this shambles of a government says it has helped! The UK is fundamentally broken as indeed is the USA and it will take more than just bland words and billions of pounds or dollars to solve it. The list of changes is far to numerous to write about here and most of us know what they are. You must not feel powerless to help with change we are all responsible!

Here is another. I am fed up with being labelled being a liberal, namby pamby, left wing, who believes in fairness. What is wrong with wanting a fair and equitable society where EVERYONE get an equal opportunity? Whats wrong with wanting politicians at the sharp end who are trustworthy and honest? What wrong with wanting to eradicate prejudice? I am unapologetic about being on the moral high ground, I am unapologetic about being constantly critical of those who wave their privilege in our face and then tell us to do what they say! I will not be silenced simply because we voted to leave the EU and I disagree! I am unapologetic in pointing out the mess we have put ourselves in. I am unapologetic about voicing my opinion and encourage you to do the same (as long as unlike a certain President you are not inciting violence). I encourage you to air your views but do not do so and then get upset if others disagree! “Right minded” people do not really exist, one persons “right mindedness” is another’s anathema. It is wonderful to have looked after number one and made a success of your life, well done but not everyone can  for many reasons and we should help each other, indeed it is imperative that we do so. Can any of us say we have gone through life so far without help? I know I can’t.

Stay well
