Joking apart, America and Britain currently stand as the
laughing stocks of the developed world. But there's a strange synchronicity
here. Both countries were built on slavery, colonialism and pissing in
other people’s countries. Both have been brought low, beyond the point of
farce, by racism, bigotry and prejudice.
Also, on this side of the Atlantic we number days and weeks differently to the US. Here - 9th November is 9/11, the day we found out Trump was elected... Another US disaster.
And now Tony Blair, one of the architects of the Iraq war and
arguably the destabilisation of the Middle East, thinks it’s time to return to
British politics. Is the guy addicted to chaos?
In last week’s post, I used the phrase ‘what goes around
comes around’. Surely we have to acknowledge that the universe exhibits a highly
developed sense of irony.
