Where to begin?
The UK government seems comfortable
using EU citizens living in the UK as pawns in the ongoing Brexit madness. The economic cracks are widening and we have not yet triggered article 50 (see cartoon below). PM Theresa May is equally untroubled about turning away from promises to help unaccompanied, suffering migrant
children.
Meanwhile, across the pond, Trump – the draft dodger – salivates at
the idea of pumping up the US military and sending other people’s sons and
daughters to war.
I’m way too fed-up this week to proper blog. Even when
you are satirising, this shit it still stinks and it can get you down. A week

So, a brief note to those who profit from or compound the
misery of others without losing sleep; cigarette manufacturers, those selling illegal
arms to corrupt governments, sweat shop owners, people traffickers, warmongers
yada yada yada. Despite the centuries of cumulative horrors man has committed,
there is room in hell for you.
And for those who whip up fear, bile and hatred
because they can – Farage, Le Pen, Wilders and of course Trump – your places in
hell will be, to use a favorite word from Donald’s limited vocabulary, “tremendous”.
