War is stupid. Trump and Putin and Netmanyahu are stupid. Thousands die, many of them innocent children, all salve their gigantic egos and deflect attention from thair criminal activities. So should the UK be aiding Ukraine – yes, should we be aiding Trump, absolutely not. Should we take sanctions against Israel – certainly (although there may be hidden costs here!). Trump is also upping tariffs with Canada – the man is a childish moron.
I still have not made my mind up on Andy Burnham – has he the balls to take on Israel, halt new developments in the North Sea, truly sort out the NHS and education in the UK, provide an alternative way of providing for the care sector and asylum seekers. Take on the City of London’s monopoly of, and financial distortion of the housing market. He has the majority to do it all!
Reform have said they will evict tennants in social housing who do not keep their gardens tidy – ha fucking ha! A tidy world is a boring world – perhaps they would use agent orange of wildlife areas? The Telegraph also has a very strange article about paddle boards ruining rivers! 96% of rivers in England deny access to the public and paddle boarders. 75% of river banks are forbidden zones for the public. So the Telegraph runs an article with a header on its front page, for one or two individuals who are put out by paddle boarders. Fucking ridiculous. Surely a responsible journalist would have referred to every river in England being polluted and most a hazard to health.
Trump, again, has IndyCars racing around the streets of Washington – there were no reports of children taken to hospital with breathing difficulties resulting from the pollution (suppressed no doubt). ULEZ has been a great success for London – wood burning stoves are a greater hazard! – with childrens lungs recovering. Wood burning fires in London seems a bit daft! Does London produce much timber for burning? Or are they stripping the area around it for their pleasure? Smog was common during my teenaged years – I think we should have moved on.
