My morning routine is/was predictable – shower, check Worldle, check , last nights football scores again! BBC News and newspaper headlines, check weather, then head to shop to put out the papers. The past week has changed it in an existential way. No longer can I guffaw at the antics of Badenoch, mutter about the fool Farage, grump about Starmers lurch to the right, then realise that nothing really matters! So the change – Trump has invaded a sovereign country and threatened another (European one), ICE member has shot and killed an innocent woman in Mephis and plans are rumoured for martial law of sorts to be imposed in US cities. What will the twat do next? All this without Iran being in a state of turmoil, Palestinians being slaughtered by Israeli’s, and lest I forget a climate crisis!
So it is with trepidation that that I hesitate before clicking on the news. And the even sadder news that half of Americans seem to be supportive of his foreign policy, albeit that this section also includes those who state that they have been abducted by aliens!
PS. Australia is a large country with a low’ish population and lots of resources – just sayin’. (and a crowd booed the American national anthem recently!!
