POLITCS, give us a break !!

Politics and religion

 

I think it's probably right to lump these together as both subjects are a bit confused I reckon.

 

Firstly Religion. If you ever get a Jehovah's Witness or a Mormon knocking at your door, tell them you are a Buddhist  they'll go away pretty quickly. That's all I reckon you need to know about religion.  That was quick!

 

Next Politics. On the BBC the other evening was an overview of the American Presidential election, presented from America by a well known and respected news and current affairs  guru Jeremy Paxman. In his typically British and ironic style he interviewed many of the top people in the government, and came to the conclusion that the whole debacle could be likened to one of those reality game shows, where only two of the really unbelievable lunatic contestants are left at the end. 

 

WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON ?

 

We here in what is now the EEC. have our fair share of loonies too, believe me. Who on earth in their right mind could ever have thought that the EEC. would work, (probably some people who made a packet of money out of it). So many countries with different ethics and histories all agreeing on the same thing, it"ll never happen !!!!!  that is why nothing ever gets accomplished, nobody can agree with anyone else, everything seems to me to be a compromise, and so the whole thing rolls along as before; thousands of  bureaucrats on enormous expenses doing absolutely bugger all. I could do that,  "give us a job".

Apparently the Belgian Walloones have just blocked a trade deal with Canada !  That sounds sensible doesn't it ?

 

Yesterday, we heard that a single person, (apparently a Hedge Fund manager), whatever the hell that is, I'm sure the world needs more of those !!, managed to stop the British government from implementing the exit from the EU. Apparently, despite the referendum that was held, the whole of the British Parliament, (which includes the opposition party, each person having their own agenda), not just the government have to discuss and vote on all of the terms and conditions of the exit of the EU. one can only guess how complicated and drawn out that will be and the consequent uncertainty that will follow. Still, I suppose it will give the hedge fund managers an opportunity to make a packet on the international money markets as the pound plummets. Is it just me or do other people agree that these kind of people are just pariahs.

 

BREXIT,   best off out of it I reckon.

 

The only guy I have empathy with is Billy Connolly who said

 

" the fact that someone should ever want to be a politician, should automatically bar them from ever being one "

 

Never a truer word was spoken.  

 

I promise I will try and keep the rest of this blog free of ruddy politics and religion. ( for my own and your sanity )
