As an Australian I don't care about Joe Biden's Son. However, the push from American politics disturbs me. I wish the Swiss could have more power over what we think!

The United States has this dysfunctional political system that has spread throughout the world. Please save me!

Dysfunctional!? How can something that results in the mightiest country on Earth be considered dysfunctional? You don't have to like it, but... "dysfunctional"!?

1   So Maggie's attempts at bribing the population by flogging them the family silver on the cheap was not an attempt to write Labour off the political map?

2   Where did she end her days BTW?

3    Not just my humanity but that of the party (and family) which professed to adore her yet left her abandoned, alone, in a hotel room.

4    I think perhaps you should consider again where you direct such a superficial barb.



I quoted you above, Justin; I reply to your points below.

1   That was a positive decision to spread the joys of home-ownership; what wasn't was your own Brown sweetheart's ahieved ploy of selling off the huge part of Britain's gold when the market for that commodity was on its knees: well, par for the socialist  business ethic, as they have proven time after time, which was why nobody was in the least surprised that it happened..

2    I replied to your spite some few posts ago.

3    Have you ever dealt with dementia in someone you love, and to whom you owe life?' I have.

4    I'm sorry that class hatred, hatred of Matrix metering, hatred of almost anything that works and is/has been successful turned you blind. However, there's hope: with your points 2 and 4 together, you have demonstrated you still retain enough vision to score the best own-goal of the current LuLa season.

I congratulate you.

Rob.

As you know I am aware that you have suffered a great loss in your life and with that I genuinely sympathise, but may I ask that you do not focus your grief upon one particular individual with which you may take issue on other matters.

For me this thread is closed, I shall say no more.

No, you don't know the person to whom I refer. My wife was another situation altogether.

I speak about dementia, not cancer, hence the relationship of the discussion to the Mrs Thatcher situation.

You attract whatever hostility comes your way perfectly well on your own merits; my family has nothing to do with it.

Speaking about "dysfunctional" American system, by coincidence I've come across this today:

1   That was a positive decision to spread the joys of home-ownership;

Trouble is Rob, little or none of the proceeds from council house ( public housing ) sales went into building new housing stock which the UK could really do with. Rent & house prices rose because of the lack of supply & now it's extremely difficult for most people under about 35 to partake in the 'joys of home-ownership'. Instead they'll spend their lives paying exorbitant rents for poorly maintained accomodation to landlords a generation older than themselves who got their hands on property during easier times. ( & what a bloody smug generation they are ).

( Disclosure: I'm 52, working class, have close family members who bought their own council houses. My other half & I actually own an ex council house ).

Nice to have you back and am enjoying the photos you're posting.

Take care.

Thank you for the welcome back! Posting photos is nice (for me, at least) because it gives them a bit of exercise which they wouldn't otherwise get outwith my website. I don't get enough exercise, and even though I know my life depends on my getting it, other aspects of living get in the way; imagine the poor snaps: they depend on me!

Now, regarding the thing about home-purchasing: where the return from such sales goes I can't honestly say because I simply don't know, and I wonder if anyone even in government, really, really knows. I suspect it works just as with the road tax (which family tells me is now a different ballgame to what it used to be) where one would expect the money raised to be reinvested solely in, well, roads, but isn't.

In one of several nutshells, I think the underlying problem is that we all are, as citizens of developed countries, expecting too much from all political parties, and conveniently forgetting that every last item has got to be paid for by someone. That inevitably raises the question of who is able to be fleeced more. You can't get blood from a stone, so the juicy alternatives are there to hang out and dry. No wonder they try to protect themselves.

Landlords. My granddaughter is reading medicine in Edinburgh, but family lives in Glasgow. Long-term tenure for her and her fellow flat-dwellers in Edinburgh is a difficult one. Every year, come Festival time, they all get chucked out onto the street for the duration so that the owners can rent out at extortionate rates to the tourists; imagine the chaos, inconvenience and expense of removing all their property back home and then back to somewhere else...

The only possible future for all of these things is the London example, where salaries rocket simply to allow people to make enough money to enable them to hold a job whilst having to spend hours a day in trains just to get there and back. And the more people we get the worse it becomes. I think that's probably more the cause for anti-immigrant growth than colour or language: the fear of being finally crushed to death in a world that physically comes to a gridlocked halt. I remember an afternoon in Glasgow, where I had an appointment with a client. I arrived before time, as normal, and circled and circled without finding a meter or space. I had to go back home and 'phone my apology. That was about 36 years ago! I shudder to think of now.

Ciao,

Rob

P.S.

Regarding my parking problem lo those many years ago: a cellphone would have been a wonderful device to keep a client up to speed! So some modern inventions have uses.

P.P.S.

I timed-out again sending this post before I reached the first P.S. I didn't have to rewrite: I discovered that I could simply copy and then re-login and paste. For me, that's rocket science!

... The best a democratic society can do is to provide enough checks and balances to prevent one social group to impose its own interests to the rest under the guise of "common good."

Too bad this excellent concept has been taken prisoner by the PC police.

Yes, and that, a far as I can remember, seemed to start somewhere in the early 70s... I believe it's genesis was born of a society where children were given too much too soon and too easily. Get hordes of rich, spoiled young things running around campuses, out of their minds on weed, and a balanced sense of life gets washed away under a tide of 'entitlement', airy ideals of equality (when even siblings are usually so different in their capabilties) and a horror of standing out, of imitating that poor old elongated poppy lest the short ones feel bad.

Truth is, some of us make a better job of life than others. You can't legislate for that, however convenient it might be to pretend otherwise. Some folks are truly saints where others smell of brimstone. It's a bag of assorted nuts; you have to jostle for your level within that bag.

What always comes to my mind when I think of PC is the blindness to the obvious double-standard: you can be a white Briton, be called a Brit and feel perfectly happy and comfortable with the abbreviation. Should your skin be brown (something to which all of us white people aspire every summer simply because it generally looks much nicer), and should you be a Pakistani, then for some reason, to be called a Paki, which is nothing more and nothing less than an abbreviation of the full name, becomes an insult! You see what I mean? Reality is hi-jacked and made slave to a crazed political take on life.

Humour gets the same treatment, and whilst I dislike jokes about disabilities, there's no denying that many of them are actually hilarious, even if in dreadful taste. It just depends whether the teller has the sense not to make them in front of anyone so afflicted, when rather than funny it becomes painful and also very embarrassing.

Worst of all is when PC becomes enshrined in law, and specific subjects are untouchable. Now that is totalitarianism.

... I don't think in political terms, where one's chosen party is Good and its members Smart while the others and their members are varying degrees of Bad & Stupid.  ???  I vote but I do not participate.

Speaking about smart, stupid, and participation  ;)
