Happy Birthday World Wide Web, you've got problems, did any of us realise how nasty some of the human race can be, but generally in blog land we get along nicely. Tim Berners-Lee brought it all together 30 years ago, he is British, something to be proud of! But on this day, 12th March, when our parliament cannot get its act together I somehow how feel that the euphoric mood of a global network is somewhat lacking, as we watch our politicians argue and fall apart over the enormously difficult act of leaving the European Union.
Even if by some miracle a 'deal' is agreed I cannot but feel sad, that we are falling out with our neighbours, that the country is in a 'state of uncertainity', the 'leavers' stand forlorn and shouty about what they want. Could almost say 'as the walls of Jericho fall around them' businesses start to flee, political rats and billionaires already fled. it will probably be rough.....
I have been following the antics of the 'preppers', people who are quite sanely I think, putting by reserve food, scared of empty supermarket shelves. Well though I have no faith in a government that hires a ferry company without any ships with a three month slot to get its act together, I think we should leave it to the medical and food companies to sort it out and just keep our fingers crossed.
Even now on this miserably dank, wet and windy day, a box of tea is winging its way across the Irish sea from Twinings because I can live without a lot of things but English Breakfast tea is what wakes me up each morning ;)
And of course, the calming effect of sewing................ Mogg please note!
The world is going to be without much of our favorite things and it will be because of climate change and not divisive politics. I do hope before we die that mankind gets act together.
ReplyDeleteWell the young are starting to take notice, 15th March should see something worldwide. What I will miss the most is the bumblebee, we should all plant gardens of flowers to keep them happy;)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how the "shouty" leavers think that a second referendum would be a horrendous insult to democracy when Mrs May has brought her wonderful "deal" back to parliament on several occasions.
ReplyDeleteWell she is one the ropes now with a defeated deal tonight, and so it will go on!
DeleteThe world is a mess and I think there is no coincidence that chaos is all around us. Most countries seem to be in some kind of crisis. One could never have imagined that this could happen to the great UK. Americans wish the best for our friends across the pond because we love you. We hope a settlement can be made that will be in the best interest of your country and it’s citizens.
ReplyDeleteWe also hope that we will survive trump which is looking like a 50/50 chance at this time. Last year I would have said 70/30, but the news and 45 get worse everyday.
That is sweet Arleen, not sure Trump loves us by the way, bulldozing his way through everything. Perhaps Tabor is right, climate change will wash away all the crisises we are going through as we learn to survive.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of sewing - are you watching the Sewing Bee?
ReplyDeleteKeep meaning to Pat but forget. They are a bit like me, making mistakes and cursing ;)
