Born the year WWII ended. Lived through an era of optimism when you could wake up in the morning and be hopeful about the day. Now saddened by the gratuitous acts of self harm inflicted upon future generations by the gross incompetence of our Politicians

Jenrick and Principalled are two words that don’t belong in the same sentence.
On the issue of U turns it would be great if we never made a mistake but if we do it is a wise man who admits it, reverses it and minimises the damage.
Only a fool tries to make a mistake work, take note Brexiters.

And a Ukrainian is banned from the Olympics for having pictures of potential athletes on his helmet who were killed by Russia.

I hope Ukraine will not be alone in withdrawing from the Paralympics if Russia are allowed to participate.
If Countries don’t pull out then I hope individuals will.

I’m 80 and the people I knew who ignored the hopes and dreams of future generations are now all dead.
However, I remember one lady I spoke to who said that she wasn’t sure so she asked her children and grandchildren what they wanted and they all said to remain so she respected their wishes.

I’ve thought hard about how to reply to you but the best I can say is that when you live with pure gold long enough you will equate it down to mere dross.
It no longer has appreciation or value.
This is how I believe we are squandering the golden years post the cold war, it is no longer valued.

I’m 80 and I never thought I would live in a Country where anyone would suggest that we leave any Convention on Human Rights.
What have we become.
What Human Rights abuses do Reform want to commit that the ECHR are preventing.
Xenophobic claptrap.

I’m 80 and the few people that I knew who voted leave and stole the hopes and dreams of those under 40 are all now dead.

The following demonstrates that in the Brexit referendum those over 50 years old stole the wishes, hopes and dreams of future generations.

Under 25s: ~71%–75% voted to Remain.
25–49: Roughly 54% voted to Remain.
50–64: Roughly 60% voted to Leave.
65+: ~60%–64% voted to Leave.

I find it deeply depressing that by that time Trump will have Pardoned all the criminals in his coterie.
What a completely obscene provision for a President to be able with the sweep of the pen to pardon the most grotesque criminals.

Ticket sales will be the greatest in history and the stadiums will be overwhelmed in the same way as cinemas are for the Melania movie.

The broadcast time for the 2026 Super Bowl was 3 hours and 45 minutes and the time the ball was in play was estimated between 11 and 14 minutes.
I will keep the rest of my thoughts to myself.

β€œIt was just locker room banter” will forever be etched on the Trump escutcheon.
These people just don’t care and have no shame, empathy or self awareness.

So says the absentee Member of the European Parliament for 20 years and now the absentee MP in Parliament and Clacton-on-Sea.

What does it say about the people of America that they are allowing Trump to violate the Constitution and that the Epstein Files have not lit a fire under their moral compass in the same way that it is doing elsewhere.

Tell your Congressman in both Parties that if they don’t come together and impeach Trump and his acolytes that they will never get the nomination to stand at the next elections.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea for mankind to demonstrate that we are responsible custodians of planet Earth before we allow irresponsible egomaniacs who by a grotesque accident of fate have been gifted obscene amounts of money to pollute inner and outer space.

Sherman Antitrust Act: Standard Oil was found in violation of this act for its monopolistic practices and anti-competitive behavior.
Why is the government allowing a few, sometimes malevolent individuals to dominate and exert dangerous influence over the government.
The government is complicit.

There are no longer any filters or constraints applying to this administration.
They are lawless.
When the reckoning comes those who remained silent will be complicit.

Time to release the unredacted Russia Report concealed by Johnson until after the 2019 Election and then highly redacted.

Gill is serving 10 years for receiving suitcases of cash for spouting anti EU propaganda and pro Putin statements.
Nigel Farage received handsome fees for spouting anti EU propaganda and pro Russian statements and saying that Putin is the World Leader he most admires on Russia Today and is an MP.

If I feel the need to be alone and a guarantee that there will be no one else there I will go. I’ll sneak in the back and not buy a ticket.

Look at those who are defecting to that racist fear inciting so called party.
Reform is their spiritual home.

If Philp, Cleverly, Patel and a few others join Reform the Conservative Party might become electable again.

Nathan Gill received suitcases full of money from Russia for repeating pro Putin and anti EU propaganda
Farage repeated pro Putin and anti EU propaganda on Russia Today 17 times in return for handsome fees.
He often said that Putin is the world leader he most admires.
No difference.
Jail Farage.
