The discussion around world peace has been on the table all my life. Groups have been formed promoting peace, some of them stupid enough to do stunts that set people against them.There have been leaders such as Gandhi and his peace through non-violence, yet no one has been able to convince the people on thisContinueContinue reading “Peace and Common Sense: Intro”

A Song for All Democracies
Tonight I was watching probably the most uninspiring Last Night of the Proms I’ve seen. There were some wonderful songs and acts, the best of which was Bohemian Rhapsody. But the energy just wasn’t there. Something was just off compared to Proms of the past. It got me thinking though. Land of Hope and GloryContinueContinue reading “A Song for All Democracies”
A Joyful List!
Thinking about happiness is so important, thinking only about yourself is too narrow. So this is a list of 31 things that would make me happy if everyone, everywhere, had those things.
The Equality of War and Insults
They are for the weak This image doesn’t even begin to demonstrate the longevity of the problem. Humans wage war and humans insult. We’re in the 21st Century and social media has clearly demonstrated that as a race we have barely advanced. Technological complications Yes we laud our technology, the fancy stuff we can build,ContinueContinue reading “The Equality of War and Insults”
Clarence: Oh Woe is They
Hello Peeps Where do I start? Firstly I think certain politicians are being hoist by their own petard! Future and previous President Trump has started before he begins by announcing a lot of wild plans that he thinks are good for America, and he may be right. Unfortunately he’s laid himself wide open to AIContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Oh Woe is They”
Double Edged Swords
Today’s writing prompt, or one three years ago depending on when you’re reading this, inspired me to think about the ways that we humans are so unaware of our impact. How we look at things only one way, when there is at least one more way they can be viewed. How our word comes fromContinueContinue reading “Double Edged Swords”
Clarence: Stateside
Well, well, well. Not such a close contest after all. I’m trying to think of one sensible thing to say that doesn’t include “excuse me what?!” Oddly I’m not as alarmed as I thought I would be, in some ways a rebel suits America’s personality. I’m sure that millions would disagree though. He’s one ofContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Stateside”
Clarence: Post Budget Blues
Hey Peeps Finally after weeks of worrying about nothing more than rich people getting dresses donated or a free box at football, we finally have a budget, and the tax rises that were never going to happen except they were inevitable. The 1p off a pint of beer was moderately…ridiculous. You’d have to give yourselfContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Post Budget Blues”
Clarence: Flashbacks
There you have it, a Siberian kitten called Prince takes up residence at number ten. Who will donate l his first collar I wonder? But does this remind anyone else of Blofield the villain in James Bond? I can see it now… “Ah Angela…” strokes cat “…I’m not very happy with the collapse of theContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Flashbacks”
Clarence: 🙄
Oh my word. Sunak the terrible liar was bang on correct. Whatever next. They stood on tv and called him a liar in front of the entire nation. He was pilloried for sticking to the point that they were going to raise taxes. Who’s the liar now? Apart from the top three in our government.ContinueContinue reading “Clarence: 🙄”
