War! War! War!

Here we go again!! its only the 4th day of the year and already the world teeters on the brink of war again! I know that we have to deal with world problems, but escalating the situation will not bring an early solution to the many problem with conflicts that the world is seeing.

Me thinks that Donald Trump’s move is more about how he see his followers lauding him as some kind of ‘hero’ for his re-election in the coming year.

An interesting story this morning about the USA acts of ‘interference’ over the years does shed some light on some of the thinking behind this latest ‘interference’ in another states business.

Queens Speech

Saw some of the news last night about the queens speech and the House of Commons debate afterwards. Where were all the MP’s? I have never seen so many empty seats for what I would think is an important debate.

Another example of MP’s ‘bunking off’ when they should be doing their job?

Builds my confidence up not end that MP’s are focused on the issues of the day.
