Sums It Up

EU Results

I suspect that the referendum on the EU will have more mileage to go and that the result is not binding.
We all know that the Government MPs have too much personal money to loose to exit the EU and they will wriggle to have the vote overturned. After all they need their retirement plan in Brussels. Meanwhile let the Brexit voters enjoy winning it's victory for a while. Once the shit hits the fan then they will discover what it really means - so they better not regret the decision.

Just Wondering

Have you ever went into a room to get something , forgot about it, until you left the room again?

Have you ever misplaced an item, looked high and low for it , and found it when you were not looking for it?

Have you left your house with an item of clothing the wrong way round or odd socks or anything that did not look right?

Lazy Day

Another day of not doing much - except for having some food at a free barbeque party within the grounds of the hostel.|he sun was out for the afternoon and it was perfect weather for a barbeque.

Thursday we have a free breakfast courtesy of the community chef program Riverside runs. Last Thursday i had three rashes of bacon, two eggs, three sausages, beans and mushrooms plus toast.

The weather has made me feel a bit lethargic anyway, since it started this morning cloudy and very humid.So in amoment i will be listening to some more music from the hard drive.

Bitter Lake

This is a must watch documentary from the BBC -

Bitter Lake (2015)

Politicians used to have the confidence to tell us stories that made sense of the chaos of world events. But now there are no big stories and politicians react randomly to every new crisis - leaving us bewildered and disorientated.
Bitter Lake is a new, adventurous and epic film by Adam Curtis that explains why the big stories that politicians tell us have become so simplified that we can’t really see the world any longer.
The narrative goes all over the world, America, Britain, Russia and Saudi Arabia - but the country at the heart of it is Afghanistan. Because Afghanistan is the place that has confronted our politicians with the terrible truth - that they cannot understand what is going on any longer.
The film reveals the forces that over the past thirty years rose up and undermined the confidence of politics to understand the world. And it shows the strange, dark role that Saudi Arabia has played in this.
But Bitter Lake is also experimental. Curtis has taken the unedited rushes of everything that the BBC has ever shot in Afghanistan - and used them in new and radical ways.
He has tried to build a different and more emotional way of depicting what really happened in Afghanistan. A counterpoint to the thin, narrow and increasingly destructive stories told by those in power today.
