January is a miserable month, all downhill, bad luck or so the empty papers and radio news reports say.
On Monday 20th January it’s called blue Monday, worst day of the year, so says the media? Well today is the day that Donald Trump, an odious human being will be inaugurated as president of the USA. That’s definitely a ‘blue day’ day! So it’s happening already.
I wonder if I’ll look back in 4 years – God willing – and share good or bad news with you guys. Could say the same about our new government after 15 years of nasty greedy and dishonest Tory robbers!
That’s UK, I have to say our Scottish Government is awful in performance too. Independence is running away from them. More another time I’m guessing. We’ll see!
February is awful, weather wise but what is worse is the murder done unto Palestinian children by the Israeli government – this is war, murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide and more by the Israeli’s. Truth told, many Israeli citizens have rebelled against their own government but I’m sorry guys, the Israeli’s are losing Brownie points on the ‘everything against us is anti-semitic’.
Look back bonnie weans, see if this has matured, is there still war with Ukraine and Russia?- is the united kingdom still selling guns and bombs to these countries and then complaining about them?
Headlines today include war in Cambodia with Thailand, Turkey and Iran, the Arab states and everyone else in their region. Grief everywhere.
What I’ll write more of later is the climate crisis – I’m not informed hugely on this but its in the news every day, in one form or another. Big changes everywhere.
What for example? Tsunamis in the far reaches of Japan, Russia and possibly the pacific islands. Pacific islands concerned they will be wiped out through rising waters. Fires across Australia – not unusual but they are worse than ever it seems. Floods on mainland Europe – France Spain, Italy and others, even in the UK -Arthurs Seat is on fire during the Edinburgh Festival – goodness we as a country are corrupt and amateur at coping with pending nature driven problems. If you are interested there are maps that show where rising seas will take the tides up into UK ground, flooding land and towns and people.
Heat and high temperatures are growing all across the world. The holiday places in Europe are exploding into high 40’s temperatures, – links to fires here. – Brits who in large numbers are morons when they travel can’t handle the heat. But they can’t go without the summer holiday to Spain so they get caught up in all sorts – I think though it’s to get away from the UK as our nation is steadily dripping into oblivion, therefore any time in a fried eggs and bacon , with beer 24/7
world suits millions of Brits. Aaaaaaaaargh!
I hope this doesn’t ruin the possibilities for you guys as you get into top teens and twenties – climate, war, politics, crumbling systems and worryingly, awful levels of confidence, heightened anxiety, grief, unhappiness, purpose in life and growing number of middle to top businesses who are growing ‘greed’ as an indoor pot plant
Sorry to say but too many politicians, business leaders, top public figures are in cahoots to enhance wellness for the less well off in our country.
The figures on poverty in the UK are scary – take a look and have a comparison. I hope you see developments, but I don’t think you will.
It will take a huge event to change direction for the better.
