Well how is 2023 going for you so far? Do you think it is going to be an improvement on the one just finished? Already politicians are making bold statements, which we all know will never be achieved. They are merely a rehash of previous promises wrapped in shiny tinsel for the new year. They hold the public in contempt and we let them! I am certain that not a single target, promise, aim or ambition will be reached. Later this year the media will come alive as they realise, once more, that nothing has been achieved and in fact it has only got worse. I take no pleasure in this pessimistic view. Look around the damage is so severe, even if we started to prosper at an unprecedented rate it would take years and years to fix all the problems. We live in a capitalist world gone rampant, the prospect of social change and a state that cares for its citizens is a long way off. Wealth and power are king, nothing new but now running at a rate, like never before!
Can you name one single system that we all use that is not broken or strained to such a degree it cannot cope? I am confident my granddaughter Hannah will get a rounded education but not just because she will go school. She has a family who will see to it that she learns about our world and it’s history, it’s dangers, about art and music, literature and much more. She is lucky to be surrounded by highly intelligent and well informed relations. I do not envy her growing up in the world as it is but none of us chose when we are born. She will have to deal with life just as we did, given the time we are thrust into! I am determined to make her life happy but informed!
Stay well
I think it is very scary that the NHS in England has collapsed but the new Secretary of State for Health & Social Care & the latest Prime Minister are refusing to visit hospitals with an A&E department or admitting that there is a huge queue of ambulances outside hospital with seriously ill patients waiting to get in to the corridor to wait. Clueless and callous.
