Another week has disappeared and what have we learnt? Yet more Tory MP’s are corrupt, the PM keeps making stupid statements, Trump can’t stay awake at his own trial, the Ukraine is struggling to contain the unjustified aggression of Putin, the Middle East is more of a powder keg the usual, Rwanda is far from safe and no law will ever make it so, the Daily Mail is determined to attack Angela Rayner! I could go on but you get the general gist!
On a different note I went out yesterday riding with the Kettering Cycling Club, we rode 17 miles around the local area, the road surface as we all know are a disgrace! There is a unwritten rule in cycling, in a group that you point with your left hand where the road surface is bad or the pot holes would damage your wheel, to warn those behind you, it was almost a constant pointing, even on supposedly “main” roads!
I am not a person who worries and I live for the moment, it is also fair to say, generally I am an optimist but it is obvious to anyone that our country is falling apart both figuratively and literally. Much due to Brexit but is was on the decline years before. It is easy to blame the Conservative govt. and world events but we are all to blame. The apathy and selfishness of most of us is astonishing ( I include myself) We no longer have any community feel. We all sit looking at a screen, looking at crap and swearing at all the misinformation we are fed everyday! We have become a nation of sound bites, glib phrases, stupid quotes and a surfeit of poor judgement and corruption!
We have the potential to be a great country, all the ingredients are there but we seem to be obsessed with what has gone wrong and not how we can make it better ( yes I get the irony of that) Each of us must try to improve things no matter how small that improvement is. We have poor unimaginative leaders but that should not stop us.
We have, after meaning to for some time bought biodegradable bags and have a separate bin for food waste, yes we should have been doing it for years but now we are, a small thing but a change.
Stay well
