There has been a list of articles and videos about Americans leaving the US after the recent election. From what I can see 500,000 Americans live and work in the UK but coming here as a citizen would mean giving up your American passport (and swearing allegiance to the Monarchy). Americans seem to favour New…
Back to Dogs
So I picked up Rusty today to help look after him while his owner is in hospital having fallen down stairs and hurt her neck. He is fun to go for long walks with as he is never far away from me. I am reminded that dogs have been around humans for thousands of years….
The Race to Disaster
The conversation on set today surrounded the problems we face with rampant capitalism. With the brainwashing that the monetary system is somehow unlike every other system, written in stone. That people have expectations of where they should financially be at each decade of their lives and those expectations are written by those taking their money…
Just Wait
With power comes responsibility and Trump and his followers have none but to themselves. But selfishness only goes one way and Trump will look after those he knows and his family, he will sell out everyone else. That is his way and always has been. He is going to gloat over the entire world and…
The Quality of Mercy
There is a cadence in war where each side wants absolute victory. In the past this had led to such things as the utter destruction of Hittite cities and the seeding of the land in and around Carthage with salt to the complete victory doctrine of World War 2 against the Nazis. Against this war…
Holographic Universe
I have held several discussions about this theory that what we experience is created around us in real time and does not otherwise exist. One of the justifications for believing this theory (from non-physicists) is that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light so quantum entanglement cannot exist. The inability to bring the…
People Posting
I read an American critic on linkedin that said Biden was not wise to allow Ukraine to shoot rockets into Russia and one of the reasons he made the decision was because he didn’t know Russia had long range missiles. I mention this as one of the absurd things one reads in posts – didn’t…
The Real Migrant Crisis
No one from the US is running into Mexico and no one from the UK is running into Germany. The migrants across Europe are running and to answer why there is a problem it is to their countries you must look. Most are running from political and/or social persecution, lack of opportunities to have a…
Dictators and Conflict
It is a sad reflection on humanity that we worship dictators in war. Alexander of Macedon was a dictator and serial invader. Many of the men I learned about as a child such as Wolf and Clive were invaders of other countries serving divine monarchs in England. We tend to think of dictators as the…
With Best Intentions
The League of Nations, the United Nations, NATO all were created to stand against tyranny and yet in their own stead for some they became the tyrants – deciding who should be sacrificed for the greater good of other nations. With the very best of intentions we sometimes drag ourselves from one war into another…
