<span style="font-size: x-large;">Phew. Today Donald Trump leaves England. Over to you Ireland. Our news broadcasts can return to normal, good riddance to those damn helicopters. Hello boring Tory Leadership contest.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I now understand why there's wall to wall coverage of Trump on US networks. Their President is so clueless, you can't believe your eyes and ears. Get's real boring after a while though.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 32px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Twitter has been a howler. </span>I've had four days of unbridled mirth, until tears ran down my cheeks. It began before Trump even arrived, with a giant penis someone carved in their lawn near the airport.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The President of the United States bowled into Stanstead Airport in a huff by all accounts. London's Muslim Mayor had penned an opinion piece: <a h="ID=SERP,5165.1" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7095127/Sadiq-Khan-brands-Donald-Trump-20th-century-facist-attacks-backing-Boris-Johnson.html" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #001ba0; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Sadiq Khan brands Donald Trump 'a 20th century fascist ...</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">POTUS retaliated by calling Khan 'a stone cold loser'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But Good Queen
Bess II of England, the absolute showstopper during the most
controversial State visit in the history of the British Isles, soothed The Donald's troubled brow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Trump eschewed the golden carriage because it can't 'defend against rocket-propelled grenade attack'.</span><br />

<i>It’s clear the only person on earth Trump is scared of upsetting is the Queen. Can we make her UN Secretary General until he leaves office.</i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Queen Elizabeth used her speech to gently remind Trump that the original purpose of international instututions, e.g. NATO and the UN, were set up to safeguard the hard-earned peace and they were as important today as we face the challenges of the 2lst Century. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">As for 'meddling in British domestic politics', Trump did not disappoint. Boris Johnson, the 'marmite' - you either love or hate him - figure of British politics was virtually annointed as the next British Prime Minister by The Donald. That went up like a lead balloon and dismayed both conservatives and progressives. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Boris' bacon was partially saved by other 'pressing business' that prevented him from meeting Trump. Yeah. I bet. This State visit has been planned for at least six months, if not over a year. It takes a week just to set the Buckingham Palace Banquet table for god sake. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Boris and Donald could have arranged to meet any time over the 3-day visit, but Boris knew better. It's not in his best interest to be seen cannoodling with The Donald if he wants to win the next General Election. There are not enough Tories to clinch it for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Trump apparently overlooked the fact that Boris branded the then President-elect “unfit” to lead America, and said 45 betrayed “a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him
frankly unfit to hold the office of President of the United States." The arch opportunist soon did a screeching U-turn.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Unlike Hillary Clinton, Kamila Harris and the Duchess of Sussex, Trump does not find Boris "nasty". In fact he loves Boris. Misogynist? Nah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Not satisfied with his bungling so far, Trump added insult to injury: he invites Nigel Farage to meeting at US Embassy. Of course The Donald can see who the heck he wants, but this incendiary figure incenses both sides of the political divide on Brexit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then, Dear Lord, Trump casts his little beady eye on the Holy Grail of the United Kingdom. Our beloved National Health Service. Who told him to do that?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It began with old Woody, US Ambassador to the UK. He said on Andrew Marr's Sunday show that "Our NHS" would be on the table for trade negotiations. Trump should have rowed that back and kept that dirty little secret.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But he didn't.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">At the Joint press conference with Mrs May, he doubled down on Woody's statement. EVERYTHING, and most definitely the NHS, is on the table for negotiation. The Tories cringe and go into meltdown. "Not on my watch" squawked the current Health Secretary and contender for the Tory leadership position.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Realization dawned on The Donald this morning. He'd put his big feet into a hornet's nest. Too late. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">So my twitter feed has been inundated with the saga of 45
and the USA National Football League (NFL).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Before this last week I could tell you very little about the NFL, except
it ain’t like British football! <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSaxLgAU4tYVDTeqdXFo8vbQK7IGSUIpBlkCPh3xn5BguWVSCcKQac0Mye6BHMRRP2QwQgU5tZH2KmcY5ainOWyOEsOaJ8Nxm6Pfu69ho_h0mg1HNV5W0IOLZGbEL91VQRWE2x1BXd2gk/s1600/shahid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSaxLgAU4tYVDTeqdXFo8vbQK7IGSUIpBlkCPh3xn5BguWVSCcKQac0Mye6BHMRRP2QwQgU5tZH2KmcY5ainOWyOEsOaJ8Nxm6Pfu69ho_h0mg1HNV5W0IOLZGbEL91VQRWE2x1BXd2gk/s640/shahid.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">I also knew that this ‘take a knee’ business begun
with someone called Kaepernick; I assumed he was a player in a major league, have
no idea. I also know that his parent identified herself on twitter as 'the mother of one of the sons of bitches' referred to by 45.</span><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s081CGy1aN0/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s081CGy1aN0?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">But wait did Minnesota Lynx not take on the issue of police brutality over a year ago? Whoever spoke about that?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: x-large;">But thanks to 45 this ‘taking a knee’ business which has
been on the periphery, and hardly considered outside of the US has been forced centre stage. It is even being linked to
astrology and the Games of thrones! Today one of my Facebook friends pointed
out that:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: large;"><i>Saturn moves
into Capricorn at the end of the year (for the next almost-three years), but I
feel like we're starting to see signs of it already, as Capricorn rules the
knees:</i></span><br />
<i></i><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: large;"><i>"On Friday
evening at an Alabama political rally, Trump called for [NFL] team owners to
fire those "sons of bitches" who kneel while the anthem plays at the
start of games."</i></span><br />
<i></i><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Not to mention
the Game of Thrones "bend the knee" theme from the season that
recently ended.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Does that mean that 'winter is here' and will last for three years - taking us to the end of the Mad King's reign?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large;">But seriously, this 'take a knee' saga is not insignificant.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kyHVAC1ffxg/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kyHVAC1ffxg?feature=player_embedded" style="clear: right; float: right;" width="320"></iframe><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">This weekend in London, in defiance of 45, twenty-five players from both the
Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens took to one knee during
the US national anthem before their match at Wembley. Players and
officials, including Jaguars franchise owner Shahid Khan, linked arms to
lodge their protest at the White House and at police brutality. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">Forty-five has apparently enlivened
a whole new audience to the League, given the British response to the game in
London at the weekend, including me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">Still 45 continues to grumble about the NFL on Twitter, but he's bitten off more than he can chew: not only
players, but Republican team owners, </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">who in 'real life' supported and funded 45, </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">come out against him. Self interest and the bottom line trumps 45! </span></span></span>Capitalism wins out in the end. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Meanwhile, North
Korea talks up above-ground nuclear testing, the Affordable Care Act repeal
hangs on a knife’s edge and Puerto Rico remains in desperate straits.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Forty-five says
that ‘taking the knee has nothing to do with race’. He knows and we know that is untrue. It has
everything to do with race, a 4-letter word that continues to plague and consume a nation and is
testimony to its worse infringements of justice, civil and human rights.</span><br />

maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour and a category 5 storm force,
hurricane Maria literally trashed Dominica, the island home of 73,000 people. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">In the early morning of Tuesday 19th </span><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">September, a hysterical call from my
sister woke me; it sent a chill down my spine. Mercifully she was looking on
from the safe distance of England, as was I, but we have family in Dominica.
The next few hours were </span><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;"> spent </span>frantically trying to glean information </span><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">from
anywhere possible. Maria had severed all communication. Social media, and in this instance Twitter, was particularly useful in highlighting the minimal that was still possible via 'citizen journalism'. The pity of it all: so many posts were begging for any information on named family members, particularly grandparents.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">A plea sent directly to the Premier's office a few days post Maria entreated: </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">Within hours a response from the PM's office said: 'we will see to this immediately'. It brought tears to my eyes. When you are a small island community this sort of thing is possible. In any event this particular Premier, Roosevelt Skerrit, is a very special person. Not least because there has been so many prayers offered since Maria for his continued leadership.</span></div>

complete mercy of the hurricane,” he posted on Facebook. “House is flooding.” About 10 minutes later, he posted, “I
have been rescued.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then silence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

the day [19th Sept] another UK-based family member was able to get through for the
briefest of conversation with a nephew. The family were safe, but the roof had

information to pass on to the family, who were simply isolated for a time, marooned and unable
to access the outside world. </span>They had no idea a relatively nearby warehouse was able to distribute foodstuff and a local pharmacy was, mercifully, functioning so the treasured ‘elder’

could be of some marginal support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

help and support will arrive in due course as the High Commission here is doing sterling work in gathering all those wishing to come to the aid of their ancestral home.

Barbuda </span><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">–
had its entire population evacuated in the wake of Maria. The island was
simply made uninhabitable by Irma, the hurricane immediately before Maria. In this season people lost not just home and
livelihood but loved ones - everything that they held dear.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">So who cares whether climate change is man made or not; at this point it is an irrelevant conversation and a total waste of time. Some people get upset when I say that. The inconvenient truth is we no longer have time to debate. It's no longer about who caused it; it is now about resilience of infrastructure and saving human lives by all means possible. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">More than ever it is essential to take immediate steps to put the brakes on the acceleration of climate change, to minimise the devastating impact of brutal weather patterns. Surely it is not beyond us to achieve that. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">Climate scientists speak of a 'tipping point', when the global climate</span><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;"> changes from one stable state to another stable state. It is the process of moving from one state to the other had has dire consequences for the mere mortals experiencing that. It is a point of no return. At this point, whatever we do, the momentum long set in motion is unstoppable and at any moment will go over the edge. </span><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">Skerrit's
presentation to the UN's General Assembly speaks to that 'point'; many
of us are living right on the edge. Did it touch you this time?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">The various UN conferences on climate change over decades have tried to convince nation states to do all they can to stop the planet heating up beyond a certain degree which would 'push' this tipping point: </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">Alas, in the often jeered at words of Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense during the early phases of 'the war against terror', <i>we don't know, what we don't know</i>. That is so true; and the phrase does not belong to Rumsfeld. He was simply quoting an estoric truth, and he context. Unfortunately, he had no idea. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%;">My own personal quirky view - nothing to do with science - is that when the planet is ready to take an evolutionary step, climate change as the supreme re-creator of life on earth as we know it, is one of Mother Nature's modus operandi. We may well be part of a civilisation, like the dinosaurs, that is simply wiped out by that shift; or we are part of a civilisation that finds a way to flow with change AND re-imagine a different way of living and being; a kinder more sustainable way of being with each other and with the planet.</span><br />

International Women's Day, I receive felicitations accompanied by a heart from
a male friend. And I want to say to him, “thank you so much, I appreciate you
too”.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I see
that gesture as a symbol of solidarity with and support for the hundreds of
thousands of women around the globe who want to #BeBoldforChange - this year's
theme for the day. And especially now at this time on our planet, it is an
appropriate clarion call for all of us, male and female. Too much of our basic
human rights and civil liberties are being stealthily eroded.</span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">The abuse and violation of women continues
unabated. And today of all days, I particularly want to remember Yazidi women
and those who are imprisoned simply because they dare to speak out against
corruption, wrong doing and injustice, and those who are in prison simply
because they are female.</span><br />

this post is a reprise of one written for International Women’s Day 2013. Four
years ago emphasis was placed on the feminine soul as the principle of life
..the spiritual part of humankind, in contrast to the purely physical. <span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Our feminine soul nature is defined as
receptive, soft, inward, encompassing, intuitive, emotional passive, empathetic
and relational, while masculine qualities and attitudes are described as
active, hard, outgoing, penetrating, logical, aggressive and dominant. These
motivations are governed by the left and right brain respectively.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"></span></div>

are equally represented in men and women but their strength of expression is
dictated by socialisation depending on whether you were born male or female. All
of us can tap into our innate feminine or masculine qualities at will, depending
on whether we choose to be receptive and relational or active and dominant.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></span></span></span><br />

woman’ - Margaret Thatcher as an example - had an abundance of active masculine
qualities, there was nothing 'girlie' about her. In contrast, someone like
Jackie Kennedy would be considered more 'feminine'. For me, women like Michelle
Obama and Opera Winfrey integrate the qualities of the feminine and masculine.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">From time
immemorial the dominant left brain of logic and rationality, the masculine
principle, has generally abandoned the intuitive aspect of its
existence. On the physical plane this rejection of a vital aspect of self
finds reflection in every society where woman is undervalued and repressed, and
even destroyed in <i>utero</i> simply because it's a female embryo<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. </i></span></span><br />

and relegation of the Feminine Principle is obvious in the world at large - in
government and politics, in the economy, in business, in religion. At the same
time there is a strong desire to control and have dominance over the external
manifestation of the feminine - the real live breathing woman in society. <span style="font-family: "garamond";">There</span> many societies where that is simply the norm...a way of life and how we do things. It
is a shock to the psyche when it occurs in a Western more secular
society.</span></span></span><br />

January 2017, with demagoguery seemingly at large in the world, women all over
the globe came out in their hundreds of thousands to say NO, we will not be
silent, we will not acquiesce in our subjugation. I called it the Day the

Rise.</i></span></span><br />

It's scarier than I wish to admit. Is Western democracy really only half a step away from dictatorship?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I'm beginning to feel like <i>Alice in Wonderland</i> about it all. I have stepped into a room with the kind of distorted glass you find in fairgrounds that shows how you might become: horribly grotesque. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a community of Nation States are we not already there? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">How
is Forty-five not the looking glass that magnifies who we have become? And
suppose he was impeached what then? What are we left with afterwards?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Would we not continue to allow children all over the world to die from malnutrition and lack of clean drinking water; </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">abandon them in petrifying war zones and even blow them up when they try to escape. Deny them </span></span>adequate medicine at an affordable price because the bottom line matters more. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Would we cease raping and murdering women and children with impunity; caring little about and ignoring the basic needs of those we consider 'other' or 'undeserving' whether it is someone on some far distant shore or the homeless on our own doorstep.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Would a vast swathe of humanity still struggle to subsist on what cannot be called by any stretch of the imagination a 'living wage ' covering not even bare necessities; whilst eight men own the same amount of wealth as the poorest half of the world's population.<span style="color: blue;">[1]</span> Just stop and think about that for a moment. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Would we not continue to ravage and plunder the Earth, whilst choosing to ignore the effect on health and livelihood, especially if we are not particularly affected, yet, by the menace of a changing climate? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The list of terrifyingly grotesque stretches into eternity.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I know that the issues raised above sound like major geo-political concerns that the ordinary citizen does not have a hope of affecting, but is that really true? If we break any one thing down to a local level, you will see the piece of the mosaic that is easily within the individual's ability to impact, even in one's own home or workplace. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As I write that it brings to mind my involvement, </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">over 30 years ago, </span></span>with a project that sprang out of inner city disturbances. It created access for young people described at the time as 'disadvantaged' because of their background and ethnic origin. Today many of these, now successful young adults, are doing the very same thing by working with or supporting local community programmes as leaders, enablers, facilitators and mentors. They too can provide 'access' and their efforts make a dent in what might otherwise become a seething mass of resentment and anger.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The great British Brexit was a shock defeat for the Establishment and elites by a 'seething mass of resentment and anger' that was ignored for too long. Trump's triumph is in large measure due to this as well. That outcome hold some quite dire consequences for the society as a whole and specific individuals within it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The thing that has rocked the well-to-do, taken-for-granted cosiness of our Western existence, well for some of us at least, is that Vlad the Impaler has popped up in our world and he rules.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Shadow Vampires prey on the weak and vulnerable; they breed fear and dependency; they feed on the life force of anyone unlucky enough to catch their attention.</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><br />

where whatever the ruling party holds to be true is true. As Orwell
himself famously said, "The best books ... are those that tell you what
you know already."!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What we already know, or at least ought to consider is that <span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="text_exposed_show">Trump is us!

visited on itself.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Jungian or archetypal psychology use the term ‘archetype’ to describe specific and <i>universal</i> patterns of behaviour. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The tendency to behave in certain specific ways that we </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">can </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">all identify - bully, victim, princess, addict, coward etc - have little to do with the influences
that shape and mould our consciousness such as family, education, culture,
tradition and so on.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Indeed our cultural forms and norms are derived from these
innate blueprints of behaviour already ingrained from within the womb. I like to think of them as the DNA of personality. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">These modes
of behaviour have two distinct aspects – light and shadow. One is an
optimistic side seeking always the highest form of self expression possible.
Whilst the other is dark and murky, channelling negativity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Apart from the Vampire, if I were
asked to identify another three of Forty-five’s behavioural traits operating in the shadow
(the direct opposite of light attributes) I would go for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Destroyer</b> – ‘intoxication with destructive power; destroying the
dreams or potential of others’. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Trickster</b>
– manipulating others through duplicity. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Liberator

this billionaire businessman with zero experience of the whole Washington
political scene. We see a rich, self-indulgent, misogynistic, vulgar nasty guy, with lawsuits pending who will not release his

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On the other
hand Hillary won three million more of the popular vote. She had money bags; her
backers were more articulate and powerful than Trump’s. Many in his chosen Party

won. Trump’s win made no sense. </span><br />

constant underlying rhythm which at an inopportune time explodes into reality, shattering your complacency. Something needs to change. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Donald
J
Trump is an improbability; a mould breaker. He is in fact, as Charles
Prince of
Wales recently described climate change, ‘the wolf at the door’. Many
are in denial about the potential for devastation that his presidency
represents. And, just as climate change, it is highly
likely that it is our behaviour that has hastened or even necessitated
his
arrival. What delicious irony!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the UK the 'something' that needed to change triggered Brexit. In my view, regardless of her stance at the time, Forty-five's newly found Maggie-May is
a closet Brexiteer. Between them they will break a whole lot of moulds, as did Reagan and the Iron Lady; and many of us will feel intense pain. That is
inevitable when entrenched patterns get broken. The legacy of Maggie Thatcher's reign remains today in the suffering of many who have never recovered. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Does progress demand sacrifice? Yes, when we are offered choice options that are mutually exclusive and requires a shedding or discarding in order for a new wholeness to emerge. The problem is that kind of 'sacrifice' is painful and devastating to go through; it is often forced upon us; it is never of our choosing - except for people like Ghandi and Mandela who deliberately chose. They are rare. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Trump is the
growling wolf with bared teeth standing there simply refusing to budge despite
all our efforts. But what does he portend? Why is he in our lives at this
time?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my book nothing is a
coincidence, nothing simply happens. There is reason and purpose to this but on
the surface, to the uninitiated, it is cloaked in mystery. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For many of
us the arrival of the 45th POTUS and Britain’s Brexit have shaken the very foundations of
our world, the ground on which we thought we stood. The ‘new world order’ is
not yet in place and we are fretful in this angst-ridden and chaotic era. But what is really going on?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Absurdity draws our attention to something we
refuse to look at or acknowledge - are in denial about - always to do with us, individually or collectively. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You know
that I am not done with this. So, I’ll be back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">It's a weird and
unheard of thing for me to be immersed in and held totally captive by the BBC's
<i>Strictly Come Dancing</i> show. I am NOT; have never been a #<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Strictly </i>fan.
Whilst the Beeb’s overall production is a class act and very stylish, the choreography
was just a tad dull and soggy in part. I preferred the dance routines of
the American version <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dancing with the Stars. </i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">This year it
was startlingly different. And that was all down to the amazing and su<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">p</span>erb partnering of Oti Mabuse and Danny Mac.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">This narrative
on the 10<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the Beeb’s most popular show has three
interlocking strands. The first is a salutation to an outstanding professional
dancer and choreographer, Oti Mabuse. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">The second
strand reviews a thrilling drama complete with script, roles, plots and
sub-plots - played on and off stage, including the potential for romance known
as "the #<i>Strictly</i> curse". </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">The third
strand presents a glitzy show that challenges a cross section of celebrities to
go on a 'journey' to become a dancer. It purports to be a competitive dance
championship. It is, but only in part.</span><br />

celebrity partner, British actor Danny Mac, electrified the annual showcase
event and took it to another level. </span><br />

dénouement.<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"> </span>For discerning
#DotiFans the semi finals weekend really concluded the show. It was all over
bar a reprise of that exquisite history making, samba, "hotter and
steamier than the Amazonian Jungle". At least there would be a
fitting finale to a gripping and masterly drama production scripted long before
selection of the cast. </span><br />

the Lead Players</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">:
each year the BBC seeks celebrity participants to specifically assist in
meeting its third raison d’être – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to entertain</i>.
An aspect of that entertainment was boldly and brazenly spelt out in a
subliminal message encoded in the headline banner photograph dominating the top
of <i>Strictly’s</i> Facebook page and elsewhere. Yeah BBC. I see you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Celebs are
chosen to raise the ratings for the autumn’s Saturday night entertainment slot,
not necessarily to win. This year, as
foretold by print media, destined to be <i>the people's choice</i> and <i>the
bookies' favourite</i> respectively, Ed Balls former MP and Shadow Chancellor
of the Exchequer and Danny Mac, previously on British TV soap Hollyoaks, were
in the frame. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">The stage was set for the first Act. The ratings war demanded that
both Ed and Danny reach Blackpool, but only one could be a 'contender' in the
semi finals. Len Goodman made it clear who the 'contender' was right from
the very start after Danny's Cha-Cha. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">The lead role -
the leading man - would be played by a real actor with box office appeal. Who
would that be then? Bruno Tonioli told us after Danny's brilliant tango
to <i>Dream Girls</i> 'One Night Only'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Fabulous - the
judges were iterating the punch lines in the drama. I loved it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">So, you were
players in a drama guys. Nothing wrong with that. It made for damn
good television. And you were handsomely rewarded with massive exposure and significant
raising of your profile; it positively reinvented Ed in public perception. You were
newly rediscovered and a sheer joy Ed...who knew?</span><br />

deliver. Big time. BBC <i>Strictly</i> had its best series EVER
with record audience share - over 12 million for Finals night. The Blackpool glitz
beat its pesky rival<span style="color: blue;"> </span><span style="color: black;">on
the other channel by over 5 million viewers. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Please
return for the 2017 Christmas Special encore.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Having watched
the series from beginning to end for the very first time, I now realise that <i>Strictly</i>
is not <i>just</i> a show: it is actually a soap opera! You need to watch the
whole thing over the entire period and be immersed in the fallout week by week
to get it. And that is why the Show is such a success worldwide.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Will I be
watching the next <i>Strictly </i>series...perhaps; it depends. On what? Well
definitely on Oti who is left shining like a diamond. But can you replace
Danny Mac? He above all made the show/script the success that it was; he
was the leading man after all. </span></div>

at Buckingham Palace, signalling the passing of King David (Cameron) and
ushering in the reign of the May Queen (Theresa).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">And did I just hear her
say outside No 10 that social justice means that
if you are black you should not be treated more harshly by the criminal justice
system’? Wow. Really? Let’s see how she intends to tackle that one. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The psychodrama in British politics played out in full view
of the whole world since June 24<sup>th</sup> has been reviting.That was
the day the nation tried to absorb the shock that Britain had said NO to
the divine right of bureaucrats in Brussels. It decapitated one Prime Minister
and demolished Her Majesty’s Opposition, a humpty dumpty in a fateful struggle to survive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I voted reluctantly with REMAINERS; my heart was simply not
in it. But the death of Jo Cox, MP<span style="color: blue;">[1]</span> forced me out of the door and into the polling booth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was shocked at the final result but not terribly surprised.
It came about through an unholy alliance between the Tory Right and the working
class communities up and down the country who mostly voted Labour. It resulted
in an outbreak of xenophobic and racist outpouring.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The two aspects of the OUT vote ‘want their country back’
whatever that means. As the child of
economic migrants who came to this country by invitation over 50 years ago to
help the country get back on its feet in the post war era, and also to do the ‘shit’
work that the natives didn’t want to do, is this my country too? Apparently not to some.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The LEAVERS want their country back because there are too
many immigrants here and no end to their arrival. The homeland has become an alien place. A NO apparently supposed to trigger the immediate return of all immigrants from whence they came, with (for
some unknown reason) the Poles first in line, followed by everyone else. Others believed there will be an immediate cessation of new arrivals. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This
is the first Big Con that the Tory Right has played on the working
classes whom they urged to take back control (of their country). The former
know well that full access to the European single market requires freedom of movement;
that Eastern Europeans and others including high skill workers are essential
to the British economy and essential institutions like the NHS. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But life is different today for Brits, those undesirable jobs are scarce, life is dominated by zero hour contracts when you can get it, and the benefits regime has become more stringent.When will the benefits from Brexit show up in people's paypackets; will greater sovereignty fix the NHS, education system and provide more social care?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, we live in interesting times, and the Queen of May's reign may not be for long.</span><br />

with Margaret Thatcher and continued under Tony Blair. They also compete with the proliferation of
new parties which, taken together, steered the outcome of the election. Even the language and assumptions made by the consensus has changed. The ‘ruling class’ is
now the ‘super rich’, many coming from humble backgrounds. The
‘masses’ has splintered into the ‘aspiring middle’, 'working people’, and the ‘poor’
from which the most ‘troubled families’ are singled out for their own ‘tzar’.</span></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7131961062722777529#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">[4]</span></span></span></span></span></a><span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></span></h3>

Umunna <span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">describes himself as “blue Labour”, by
which he means a moderniser in the Blair mould. This is a red rag to the
bullish side of the Party. A </span></span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">group of first-time
Labour MPs to Westminster have today written an open letter calling for the
next party chief to ditch the “New Labour creed of the past”. Labour will lose the 2020 election because it is confused and clueless. If that happens will the 'Blues' break away and join the Liberal Democrats? It happened before.</span></h3>

Democrat veto, such that it was, it is open season for the Tories who secured some
degree of clear blue water to put their manifesto into action. As Cameron was
assembling his Cabinet, a cross section of the public together with MPs
representing all political hues were gathered on the Green across the road from
the House of Commons. They were being interview by Sky News. One young Black
woman said, having voted Conservative, she had followed her head and not her
heart, now she was feeling anxious. Good. I'm glad she feels like that, with good cause. She should be very afraid. </span></span></h3>

that he also believes in ‘blue collar conservatism’. I guess that’s true; it is
why one Labour MP had to apologise when she sneered at UKIP’s ‘white van man’ supporters,
who are also the Tory/Labour ‘aspiring middle’. To make the point, much
coverage has been given to Cabinet posts going to the offspring of a milkman, a
garage owner and a bus driver who also happens to be Asian. </span></span></h3>

into politics if she chooses to do so, is being charged £350 more than she can
afford per month for decent housing because her chosen university does not have
enough student accommodation on campus. We are encouraging her to persevere;
that all will be well and she does not have to give up on her dream and take on
a zero hour contract. Such is life for most people in Cameron’s Britain,
especially ‘working people'.</span></span></h3>

it felt to suddenly find themselves unemployed with little prospects of
securing another job in a hurry. The world had moved on since the time they
first entered the Westminster bubble. One person, an MP for 20+ years, and a
Tory bless him, wondered how he would pay his mortgage and support his family. Of
course the twitter sphere let him have it. Hello. Welcome to the real world. </span></span></h3>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Andalus","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The day after the general election
a friend wrote on Facebook “We really need to build a strong, effective and
unashamed left wing movement to fight for people's rights and build a socialist
alternative!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who is the custodian of this
‘socialist alternative’ I wondered; perhaps he will tell me over a bottle or
two of red wine in the early evening sunshine in the garden one of these days
soon. </span></span></h3>

<h3>
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Andalus","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Unashamed or otherwise, the very
phrase ‘socialist alternative’ no longer chimes because it conjures up
overflowing dustbins, smelly streets, power cuts and water rationing of the
early 1970s. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Socialism began to dig its
own grave during the reign of Ted Heath and begun to die in the Thatcher era.
The psychological seduction of the ‘Market’ embedded by Thatcher is being
continued today by Cameron. It has one clear objective, the death of Socialism.
Unable to beat them, Blair decided to join them. We are all property owning shareholders now, or at least 'aspire' to be. These are the main social groups to whom Thatcher and Blair appealed. </span></span></h3>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Andalus","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Seven years after the
demise of Blair’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New Labour</i> project,
the Party cannot decide whether they represent the aspiring or squeezed
‘middle’ or ‘working people’. The latter being a euphemism used by both major
parties referring to those households where at least one and often two adults might
be working but they struggle to pay the bills and sometimes have to access the
food bank.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Ed Miliband fooled himself
into believing that his Party could reclaim the pre New Labour ground. He misjudged how far to the centre right first Thatcherism then New Labour had taken the vast majority of the country. In the end he had to fall on his sword, just as Syriza will have to do or take Greece out of the Euro Zone.</span></div>

‘aspiring middle’ very few of that constituency trust them. What to do? The
conflict at the heart of Labour is that they do not know which way to face and
it is impossible to be two-faced; although that is not too difficult for most
politicians I would have thought. </span></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">There are bound to be losers in general elections but
this was a culling. The Tories had set out purposefully to decapitate their former coalition partners, whilst the Scottish Nationalists had anniliated almost all comers, but especially Labour.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">I was looking for major upsets in this election and a dismantling of the
status quo. I got it but not in the way I expected. I am lost for words. The gods have a wicked sense of humour. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">They sometimes grant your wish, so be careful what you ask for.</span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">Something very </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">strange happened during the hours of 0700 and 2200 (polling period) on Thursday 7<sup>th</sup>
of May; and maybe it begun long before then. By mid afternoon of the next day three party leaders had taken
themselves to the guillotine. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: large;">On the surface it looks as if we are back to business as usual with a
majority Tory Government, to be followed probably in another ten years by
Labour – it will take at least ten years for them to get their act together; the parents have passed away and the children are not yet self-sufficient. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">For the last five years Labour has looked like a timid rabbit caught in the headlights. It has been struck dumb, able neither to defend its record nor to articulate how its economic plans would offer an alternative to full blown austerity. The voters were mercilessly punishing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">It seemed as if the bit of the electorate that always, or could be persuaded to vote Labour, were extracting their pound of flesh for all they had suffered especially economically over the previous five years. The Tory's scaremongering tactics worked too. Demoralised in defeat, their leader did a runner leaving the Party to its woes. Sadly, the current line up as potential successors to Ed Miliband looks less than inspiring.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: large;">But I do not believe it is business as usual; the Tories are batting on a sticky wicket. It will take some time to get a sense
of what exactly went on in the 2015 elections. The analysis will continue until
results day in 2020. Apart from all the external factors that played a role in the outcome of this election, it also has much to do with the internal comfort zone of the English, and fear of the unknown 'other'.</span></div>

(MPs</a>), but also for the number of MPs from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic communities.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">The new Member for Havant made election history by becoming the first MP of Chinese origin in the House
of Commons. It's notable that existing MPs from minority backgrounds remained untouched by the culling and even increased their majority, some taking over 60% of the vote; new entrants also performed at this level.</span></span></div>

5 years the Opposition in the House of Commons has been either miniscule or inadequate.

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: large;">I hope this
will be forthcoming from the new intake of Scottish National Party and the increased
diversity in background of people entering the House since 2010, together with interventions
from the relevant institutions of civil society and input from more reflective
and intelligent journalism. </span></div>

In spite of that I am engaged with this election and feel excited! By
Friday we will know the colour or colours of Government that will steer our
country through the next five years. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I

month and one day, no one in my family is remotely interested in politics. Some
of my friends and neighbours are not even going to vote. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I am posting this as a way of talking to
myself. It is sad though that so many people do not appreciate our democracy, especially in the light of what goes on in other societies. I remember how black South Africans queued in huge numbers and for days to cast their vote for the first time, and express their newly found power.</span></h3>

its intended purpose, that of stable government. But under this government the
super rich have doubled their income and too many people are now dependent on
food banks. Visits to London food banks have increased 10-fold in the last

are again, back to 2010 but now we are more vocal about what no longer serves
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The electorate is troubled by the
enduring fault lines that lie respectively at the heart of the two major political parties. We dislike ideologically driven Tory policies and
are fearful of the mismanagement of the economy by Labour, regardless of their
protestation to the contrary. We cannot continue to be bounced back and forth between these two positions; there must be a middle way.</span></div>

Two days
before the 2015 election results the pundits are saying either it’s too close to call
or predicting another ‘hung’ Parliament. However, the American wizard nerd
statistician Nate Silver has predicted that the Tories will gain the largest number of seats. What does he know? British politics is definitely an unfamiliar
country Nate, and you got it wrong last time. Remember?</span></div>

Nate the Nerd is right and the Tories squeak in first past the post, shored up by Liberal Democrats and the UK Independence Party. It is rumoured that Cameron and Clegg are already comparing notes about coalition. This time I
would give it six months, a year at the outside. In any event Friday's results will show that the British electorate has forced </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">by

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Something happened yesterday that prompted this
post after a very long gap between postings. A friend on Facebook posted an interview with Noam
Chomsky and asked that it be shared. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chomsky, linguist and political commentator, said that White supremacy in America was
even more extreme and savage than in South Africa. I commented on her posting as follows:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The
passive acceptance of the re-emergence of a kind of modern day lynching in US
is so awful. Sometimes I think it’s a displacement for the visceral hatred of
their first African American President</span></i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span class="tgc"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Visceral
speaks to deep innate feelings rather than to intellect, and is generally
fear-based.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">America has practised
it own brand of apartheid, and Chomsky had never lived as a Black person
under such a system and probably never visited a South African township. I may
not have lived in a township but I visited many times. In fact working with
township youth over a period of just two and a half years from 1995 affected
me at such a deep psychological level that immediately on my return to the UK I
trained as a psychotherapist, much to the consternation of many of my friends. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span class="tgc"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Psychoanalysis use the term <b>displacement</b>
to describe an unconscious mechanism used by the mind to defend or protect the individual by substituting either a new aim or a new object for an intention which if carried out in its original form will be
dangerous or unacceptable and cause distress and anxiety to the 'actor'. Coming home and kicking the cat as a substitute for the boss is an example of a 'defence mechanism'.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span class="tgc"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I have wondered whether the recent
spate of killing of black men by America’s police is not a displacement
reaction to having a “negro” (never mind that one half of his parentage is
white) as Commander in Chief of even white supremacists. </span></span><span class="tgc"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span class="tgc"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Three African American cops, including a woman
for goodness sake, have also been charged for the death of Freddie Gray in
Baltimore. </span></span>Of course there is a whole book to be written about how 'people of color' survive in institutionally racist organisations on which their livelihood depends. </span></span><br />

course African Americans
and men in particular have been murdered in the US for centuries simply
because
of the colour of their skin. The acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer was not
the
first time that a particular ‘state apparatus’ turned its back on the
illegal killing of a black person and the death of Freddie Gray in
Baltimore will not be the
last. </span><br />

Those with heart and lung problems were cautioned to 'take extra care; don’t stay outside in it too long and don’t over-exert yourself.

This was compounded apparently by fine Saharan desert sand dust blown in our direction, along with what the prevailing wind picked up from other European cities. In short, we were dumped on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Seriously, have you ever really thought about what global warming/climate change may mean for you at a personal level? It’s time to ask the question: what does </span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;">the decimation and deterioration of the environment mean for me personally, here now, not 50 or 100 years Hence</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Garamond; font-size: 19px; line-height: 38px;">. And if you have thought about it, what can you personally do about it? Thats a question each one of us should ask and answer.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Garamond; font-size: 19px; line-height: 38px;">Apparently the tipping point for global climate change is arriving more rapidly than even climate scientists anticipated. At this point the uppermost concern should be how best to protect human life from the national disasters that are now occurring with such frequency.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;">As someone with an underlying health condition, I am surprised that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is only now paying attention, and in a somewhat half-baked fashion, to the human health dimensions of global warming. This is a concern as urgent as food shortages and population displacement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="color: black;"> A warming planet provides the conditions for new disease to proliferate, for which medical science can make no response at the current time; it also allows long defeated diseases to resurface.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The most urgent question we face today is not will the planet survive, but how long do we have to continue denying and refusing to take responsibility for what we have created. </span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;">Rather than trying to thwart something we cannot control, perhaps a better solution would be to simply shift our way of thinking, and work <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">with</i> the forces of change by re-engineering and restructuring the way we live away from ‘business as usual’.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> One indicator of madness is to keep repeating the same behaviour while expecting a different outcome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt;">Climate change sceptics are going to have a field day on Monday 3lst March when a UN report will say some pretty stark things about global warming/climate change.

The event was described as marking ‘the moment when one of the most apocalyptic predictions of environmentalists and climate scientists had started coming true’. Rising seas caused by global warming had claimed its first casualty. Did the island not pop up elsewhere a couple years later? Spooky. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
