British Judges vs American Judges
Whilst the British legal system, especially our judges, has been roundly mocked (and rightly so) by British satirists for centuries; I would not swap any part of it for the grotesque monster, and travesty of justice, that the Americans have created.
Let us be proud of our bonkers, eccentric, strangely dress judiciary; who do their best to dispense justice, in a calm and measured way, in a world that has lost sight of right and wrong!

Europe's Lurch To The Right
Europe's lurch to the right is a symptom of the fact that voters feel alienated, afraid and have given up on the mainstream parties.
The solution?
The mainstream parties need to promote competent people who have principles, charisma, a sense ethics and who actually listen to the voters and engage with them (even if that means disagreeing with them).
Oh, and by the way, promising voters the moon really doesn't work anymore!

Merchant Navy Day 3 September 2018
Yesterday was Merchant Navy Day.
Merchant Navy Day on 3rd September has honoured the brave men and women who kept our 'island nation' afloat during both World Wars, and celebrated our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers who are responsible for 95% of the UK's imports, including half the food we eat, plenty of the fuel we burn and virtually all the products and goods we take for granted!
Above are two photos; one of my granddad (shown wounded foreground after his Royal Navy ship - HMS Goliath - was shelled on 28 November 1914 off Dares-Salaam) who went on to serve in the Merchant Navy convoys in both wars, and my dad who served in the Merchant Navy convoys in the second world war then continued to serve in the Merchant Navy until the 1970's.

It is "ironic" that destabilising an established regime, instead of making things safer, in fact makes the world a more unstable and less manageable place.

- Lybia

White House Gift Shop Changes Post Summit Coin Details
Can you spot the difference children?
On Wednesday they said this:
"Not Identical to the WHCA Pre-Summit Coin & Features Post Summit Icons"Today they now say this:
"The Coin Will be Made Whether or Not the Summit Occurs as Scheduled
Because the Theme is
Coming Closer to Peace and Celebrates the Act of Communication Among Countries
If Summit Does Not Occur You can Request a Refund but Most Supporters Have Said They Want This Heirloom of
Political History Regardless of Outcome."

Southern Rail's New Timetable Fails Spectacularly
⏰🚉 A completely new weekday timetable is in place from today.— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) May 21, 2018
Don’t get caught out, plan ahead 👉 https://t.co/Dg3US5QjP1
Seemingly "logistical problems" are causing the new timetable to fail.
Call me old fashioned, but was not the new timetable meant to fix Southern Rail's "logistical problems"?????

One of Life's Little Mysteries
It is one of life's little mysteries that some draft dodgers of a previous generation are very shouty and loud in their calls for war, and the sending of young men of the current generation to their certain deaths to that hoped for new war.

America's Embassy In Jerusalem
According to some idiotic American, the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem fulfils biblical "prophecy".
Has America so lost its way in the world that it can only function and make decisions based on "prophecies" contained within a collection of fairy tales published over 2,000 years ago??

Two Questions For America
You do know that now you have reneged on the JCPOA, you can't tell the Iranians to continue to accept nuclear inspections don't you?
If you didn't know that, then did you really understand what you were doing when you reneged on it?

The Alleged Macron Trump Bromance
Warning of the "rampaging work of extreme nationalism," French Pres. Macron tells joint meeting of Congress: "Closing the door to the world will not stop the evolution of the world." https://t.co/EYvyHpzPGp pic.twitter.com/iE9FukZSYT— ABC News (@ABC) April 26, 2018
Much nonsense has been written by the media about the so called Macron/Trump bromance.
There was of course nothing of the sort. However, Macron had I suspect briefly the ability and strength to persuade Trump to "think" a little about the possible consequences of his planned actions wrt eg Iran.
Unfortunately, once someone explains to Trump that Macron dissed him in his speech to Congress any such hope will be consigned to the dustbin of history. As Macron knows (or should know) Trump does not take kindly to being dissed, especially in public!

Open Toed Sandals - Just Say No!
Now that the warm weather is upon us, there is the temptation for some to don open toed sandals or flip flops.
As I have noted before, such footwear is morally degenerate; feet should be properly shod.

Leaders Today
I am beginning to think that many of our current world leaders have some serious shortcomings!
Are these people in power because there are no better candidates, or because the voters have lost the ability to tell wheat from chaff?
