It's The Oldies What Did It! Shame!

Image
Dear Reader, Well, it does look like the 45s and above age group ("the oldies") have seriously prejudiced the futures of the younger people, particularly the u-25s. For me this is a serious matter, that us oldies, who are much more numerous, have taken to remaining selfish about what we want. This is again a situation where we forget that we're not here for that long and yet we presume, near the end or past the end of our working lives, we can take away the chosen futures of those who have their entire lives ahead of them. Click on the image to get a bigger view. I cry "shame!". Not only this effect on the young but we may well see the break-up of the UK: Scotland and even Northern Ireland may well decide to take their own trip. And I don't blame them as they can see their English cousins are more concerned about their own affairs than the future of the UK as a whole. The EU may now break-up as well. Perhaps the Brexiters may not be concerne

The EU Exit Post-Mortem

Dear Reader, Today is one of the saddest days in my life, feeling that I'm going through another divorce. But I feel as though it's unfinished business. I don't see how 48+% of the UK population can be regarded as defeated ( whichever way it had gone), and it raises the spectre of identity issues in Scotland and even Ireland, where the border issue comes up once more.

But will the political parties listen to that protest? It's a totally unsatisfactory situation we're now in i.m.o., and I fear it's all going to get worse as the world is not what it was when we were last "on our own" over 40 years ago. And what I think many people have overlooked - or don't wish to con

EU In or Out - My Last Thoughts

Dear Reader, If you can spare the time please watch this talk by Prof. Dougan . A lso his comments on the immigration issue that he didn’t have time for in the video: link. What is alarming is that he poured cold water on the notion of a 2 year EU exit deal (which Brexit are promoting) and was talking more in terms of around 10 years to bargain our way out … which leaves an awfully big interim situation with an unknown affect on our economy. And, consequently, the poorest yet again being hit the hardest. Another video that supports Dougan is one from an academic at Oxford, Prof. Collier : So, having listened to 2 such brains, it’s really a no-brainer, surely! I'm sure you will vote according to your commonsense.
