The Government is failing. There seem to be two types of Government: overactive or inactive. The UK Government is inactive, devoid of progress and it is not evolving a better world but one that has progressively been failing. The increase of violence in London, the increase of the homeless, the treatment of the victims of …
Pollution and Plastic
So much has been written on this blog and elsewhere about the importance of stopping pollution of the natural world if life and indeed the human race are to survive. The Era of Oil has seen the rapid expansion of the human race. The insidious oiling of the industrial age certainly helped the environment at …
Syria Strike
Trump, Macron and May strike targets in Syria and avoid hitting Russian targets. The fog of war instantly rises, the Russians say the majority of missiles were shot down and the Americans say each one hit their targets.
