Well its now 2025 and time to finally reinstate this inane drivel. Seems many years ago (it was) that i dabbled with Blogger without success. Now is the time though ro resurrect the inane drivel and mutterings.
The world has become a very dangerous place, what with the political turmoil in the USA, Ukraine, Gaza and other Middle East hotspots. With the Russians, Chinese and Americans playing a realtime "Game of Thrones" one slip and we will all face extremely bad times. The world is a much more joined up place these days. However the populist politicians cannot stand that and seem to be doing all in their power to break it.
Here in the UK, nationalist tendencies appear to be on the rise if you go by the T'interweb and the wall to wall regurgitation of online news sources. The Government changed, well to be fair many people just wanted a change after many years of austerity. The population has now realised (or is coming to realise) that giving a landslide victory to a Party with no real plan to bring about change certainly is not what was wanted. So much so that the present government now has the worst approval rating ever for a new government. The more serious situation for the UK is that more people were turned off from voting than actually voted!
Trade Wars seem to be the new norm coming for the world particularly so after the recent shenanigans in the USA. I just cannot understand why one would pick and try to damage best allies and not deemed bad actors instead. Canada being hit with 25% tariffs whilst China being hit with 10% sure does not make sense. Or is there a really deep held project going on whereby the USA picks of and alienates its friends and then Russia and China step in to fill the void on the world stage? When the world oligarchs are seen to be publicly running the world instead of from behind the scenes this confidence does not bode well for nations or the world.
I can now see why many people are now aspiring to being and living off-grid!
