Happy Birthday

Every time I turn on the news I now expect to hear some new earth shattering political news. Boris Johnson resigns as an MP under a burdensome vine of sour grapes. He’s followed by one or two of his lovers (in a strictly Platonic sense) of no consequence. Then we hear Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested. Something fishy going on there, and I look forward to reading Craig Murray’s blog on that subject, although he will naturally have to be very careful what he says. I must say in that regard perhaps this latest arrest of a top SNP person undermines Murray’s view that the Scottish justice system had been captured by the SNP. Any way, not to be outdone the UK’s leading party of cognitive dissonance ditched one of its key claims to being progressive, as Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves acknowledged that the City has a greater say in Labour’s policy formulation than the destruction of human civilisation, which is to say that the party’s commitment to spending £28 billion a year on the ‘green economic revolution’ has been ditched. And across the pond Trump faces 37 criminal charges and will be appearing in court next week. What exactly did he have mind when he shared those top secret nuclear plans with his janitor and bag man?
 
Oh, and Henry Kissinger has just celebrated his 100th birthday. At times like these I wish I was a conspiracy theorist. But I’m sure there will be plenty of people out there connecting all the dots . . .
