The
attempted multiple assassinations of senior US democrats and the anti-Semitic
murders in Pittsburgh following Trump’s relentless haranguing of the press and
opposition and his increasingly bold support for neo-Nazis is both scary and
depressing, underpinned as it is by global economic destabilisation caused by
his ridiculous tariffs and corrupt government.
On this side
of the pond we continue relentlessly with Brexit via a minority government kept
in power by 10 DUP dinosaurs (see blog 241 http://browngirloutsidethering.blogspot.com/2017/06/241-tory-dup-magic-money-deal.html
) As a result, Ireland is at risk of being
plunged back into pre-Good Friday Agreement chaos.
In other
words, the two most politically significant Western powers of the 20th
century have squandered Democracy.
And today
The House of Commons will debate Philip Hammond’s fiscal fantasy in the form of
The Autumn Budget when everyone knows it is just so much crap on a dung heap
and none of it will be relevant come March 2019 – just over 4 months.
Should I
give in and get a TV and just spend my time lost in spangled, scented shit like
everyone else? Maybe I’ll get a smart phone (I won’t – I have no money) so an
app can tell me when to breathe, then I won’t have to notice all the stupid,
unnecessary, stupid, stupid, stupid, (did
I mention unnecessary?) mess.

comedy watch this space.
