| Some how it sums it all up. |
So May weather is already playing up. It is going to be cold, especially if the wind is from the North-East. The travelling duo are back tomorrow from Germany, Andrew 's cousin lives there. He will be pleased to know that all three G/P members of our ward got in. One of them had knocked on the door the other day to thank him for voting and also we had GP stickers up. It's over already and they are beginning to fight on the chat boxes,
Will Starmer go I wonder or by bringing two old stalwarts from way back, George Brown and Harriet Harman make a difference. Not sure, I think Starmer and his government just forgot what the Labour Party is there for, it is called socialism and being there for all the people. But it is all over thank goodness.
Trailing through photos, fingers always stopping at flowers, I come across Stanton Drew stone circle, I think it is the third largest in the country. It was not far from Bath and I would go with Moss to wander amongst the stones and say hello to the 'Lion stone'. The three stones in the pub, the Druid Arms, are not a Cove triangle but in fact has been recently identified as part of a long barrow.
Each photo tells it tale, the misty green of the Bath downs where once a battle between the Royalists and the Roundheads took place. The calm sluggish Chelmer Navigational river with the absolute grace of trees reaching down to the water and the sweet smell of cow parsley as you walked along, and the flowering hawthorn, the greatest of hedging in this country, reminding you that years ago the children would eat the sprouting leaves as they budded. Try it;)
Stanton Drew: A visit with Paul
Bringing back Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman seems a strange thing to do. Why now? or just, Why?
ReplyDeleteWell if I was cynical and thought about 'distraction' there is where I would be. I am sure they are only advisors and to give reassurance to us folk that the Labour Party hasn't changed. In another way Starmer is fighting for his job and has called in the old grown-ups to help ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to forget about politics for a bit and treasure some lovely photos to calm us down and celebrate Spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful summery photos! I'm not a huge fan of Starmer but I hope he isn't driven out.
ReplyDeleteWe need stability in government and Starmer is tenacious. Britain is a beautiful country especially at this time of year when everything in nature is new Steve.
DeleteThe river banks lined with wild flowers are probably the best thing about spring Ellen.
ReplyDeleteRe your initial clip - somewhere along the way the fact that the Nazis in Germany were actually the National Socialist Party, so not actually extreme right-wing at all seems to be overlooked these days?
ReplyDeleteAnd some of the nastiest regimes have socialist/communist origins - Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Ceaușescu etc....
Think it is how you interpret it Will.
Delete"a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole:" A dictionary definition.
It all devolves on the use of a word and its meaning. And an understanding of that use. That a word escapes into the mouth of bad people is not the fault of the word or its meaning. Or that a historical use of a word has the same meaning down through time. Maybe I am confused Will ;)
