All Unkindness

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? From something as small as a cutting remark, going up to disinterest in the needs of others, ganging up to hurt someone mentally, bully bosses, gossip, spite, right up to actual physical violence and murder. I have a deep abhorrence for anything and everythingContinueContinue reading “All Unkindness”

Clarence: Boggling!

The mental heath services have killed at least 2000 children apparently. Allegations of very serious abuse and death. 721 children maimed by rogue surgeon at the country’s most famous children’s hospital. Our police include some of our worst criminals. We’ve known all this for years why is it news? Okay the surgeon is a bitContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Boggling!”

Clarence: In Hysterics

I cannot stop laughing. My sides hurt. Have you heard that ABBA don’t want President Trump to use “The Winner Takes it All“ at his rallies.

Who share insights into other worlds, which is so important for connection. ThisContinueContinue reading “Just for You”

Clarence: The Return of the Say-Aye!

…Or you’ll be suspended from Parliament, thrown to the wolves, locked in the Tower of London below water level, and sent to the opposition benches if the parts of you left don’t drown! Aye equals yes the PM approves of me, Nay equals oh sh…dear…I shouldn’t have done that and the Whips are heading myContinueContinue reading “Clarence: The Return of the Say-Aye!”

Can I have two?

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? Dear God! I’d like to give them up because they come to mind when I’m looking at the levels of violence, cruelty, and indifference in this world. Humanity presents as a cess pit, even though there are many moreContinueContinue reading “Can I have two?”
