Random thoughts

No more politics for a bit.  It will all pass.  Matilda has got herself into a muddle again with a leaking washing machine and dropping her washing out of the window into next door's garden.  Things they get up to in London!

Well gossip is the thing at the moment, Prince Andrew setting off in his £80,000 Land Rover this morning must be biting his nails as to the verdict on the contract Virginia Giuffre signed with Epstein.  A sort of 'get out and go' card.  Funny how things come to haunt you years later;)  Actually the Queen might be footing the lawyer's bill for him, we can't blame her, he is her favourite son after all.

Trump and offspring's  have been asked to turn over papers in what will probably be a fraud case over property.  Poor lambs to the slaughter!  The 6th January looms large on the horizon, interesting radio programme on the 'Coming Storm' in America.  First part was the story told round the Clintons, and QAnon and the weird 'shaman (now incarcerated in prison) who was part of the rowdy mob that invaded the Capitol.

I think the attack on the Capitol was unstructured and whipped up by crowd politics.  How much Trump was involved remains to be seen, even his daughter pleaded for him to do something and stop the riot whilst he sat in a room watching it on television. The lack of police and military to defend a governmental office was very striking, but what did Trump hope would come out of this.  Will 'the steal' feature again?

  1. No politics?? Oh dear Thelma, like my son politics always hover on the outskirts of your thinking even if they are the other side of the pond.

  2. Well I could be rude to you all;) but I will stay silent. We live in interesting times and I began reading The Independent, which had little snapshots of the whole horror show. Or I could have discussed the books read, but Susan Cooper - Under Rock and Over Sea or Rebecca Solnit - Call Them by Their True Names, would probably not have appealed. As also the naked statue in the river at Edinburgh my daughter sent this morning - it was rude ;)

  4. I think Trump is in it up to his nose. I think it was well planned and executed by the various military gangs.
    No thoughts on Andrew.

    1. Andrew will be retired from the public eye but there is plenty of money to keep him amused. It didn't seem very organised Joanne the Capitol assault but there again it had to be on a secret agenda.
