Interesting times

 I have a large green arrow to use on my computer and it is not easy to use.  This because I kept losing my very small white arrow off the sides of  this large screen.  Theoretically the large arrow works but it is ugly.

This is to record by the way, the second coming of Nigel Farage.(Note, he has come back before though) After his speech this afternoon.  As a piece of political news it will be interesting to see where his resignation as an MP and  then to stand in a byelection again  leads him. IT is his hope  that the people of Clacton will re-elect him.  Farage gave a speech full of hurt anger and also fury that he has been targeted by the press in a particularly horrible way.  Well for someone who has courted publicity and has  dominated the news forever that is a little over the top!

Weirdly it was the Sunday Times article that brought Farage down and to the podium, Andrew said it is because Murdoch had pulled the support off of the heavyweights behind Farage........I bet there will be a bit of suing there'  As Trump's regime falters in America so Farage's bright star is also falling.  Thank the heavens for that.

Below is my list I am keeping for posterity sake this week.  Jonathon Freedland, Tom Harris, Simon Tisdall and also Simon Jenkins are the four journalists I turn to every week.  I expect they will write articles even more interesting next weekend ;) 

Recent Prints - Colin Blanchard 

The immorality of world leaders is contagious. Thank heavens for the pope | Simon Tisdall | The Guardian

I’ve seen what the death of major industry did to Britain. Without a good revival plan, Burnham cannot succeed | John Harris | The Guardian

I used to revere the great experiment that is the United States. After Trump, I’m not so sure | Jonathan Freedland | The Guardian

Prints by Colin Blanchard.  Why? I have two of his hare prints, could it be I was looking for a poem he had sent with the prints.  Paul's son has just produced another fine painting as well.
