I
was amused and relieved this week when just after posting my last
blog saying that all sides should stop bombing and start debating the
future of Syria, and stating that Russia wouldn't want to do this,
Putin announced that he was to stop bombing and start talks about how
to move forward. He must have read my blog. There can be no other
reason for this... I know he now has a naval port in the
Mediterranean plus an air base, and I know that all the other Arab
dictators in the region like his style and would be happy to talk to
him. We in the west have been more worried about our own interests in
the middle east to solve the problem. While Putin went in, threw his
weight around, dictated what he was going to do, got bored with Assad,
used him for his own means, and now has the ears of most of the middle
east! I don't think I told him to do that any of my previous blogs,
but I did advise him to stop bombing innocent people, though!
You
see, unlike politicians, I like to lay claim to positives, but I don't
lay blame on others unless they are to blame.
I
do wonder sometimes who reads my blogs, as they are a mish-mash of
sentiment, politics, and downright rudeness. I think it's safe to say
that I'm not to bothered about who gets upset about what I write,
though that is not my intention. I despise the so-called 'trolls' on
the web. I put my name and face to everything I write, my intention
is to give my point of view and hope that others agree, if not they
are willing to debate. The best thing about social media is that it
has given people a voice, though it's sad that some just use it to shout abuse. I
know through my stats on my blog that I get lots of people reading my
posts in both America and in Russia, Putin obviously being one of
them. The beauty of the internet is that ordinary people get to say
what they think and feel, and we don't have to listen to the spin of the
politicians.
All
we know about other countries is what the media tells us, and the
media is always owned by someone with a point of view, so it's hard to
be objective. People in America talk about the dirty politics of
Russia, which, of course, is true. Politics is dirty whichever country
you live in. Talking of dirty, I notice that Forrest Trump is still
going from strength to strength. He's like a buoyant turd that is
impossible to flush away! This is a man that uses money and dangerous,
soundbite politics to get his way. Obama this week did an interview
where he was thoughtful and reflective about his term in office. He
admitted that he let politics get in the way of him serving the
people. He has, however, made reforms such as healthcare for the poor,
which will save millions of lives. While here in Britain we have
slasher Osborne who feeds the rich and starves the poor. Give them a
small tax break and dismantle the safety net is his mantra. The
Americans should be under no illusion that Trump will be like a
capitalist cancer: he will feed off the nation until it is weak!
So
now that I have got Putin reading my blog, could George Osborne please also read
this part of my blog, and stop cutting the benefits of the poor and
disabled. Admit that you haven't really given anything to relieve the
misery of the floods, as one hundred and fifty million for the whole of
Yorkshire is less than the money originally offered just for York and
you are raising the money by putting a levy on the insurers, who will then
pass it on to the whole of the nation, so this is just another stealth
tax! Donald Trump, if you are reading this, please step down. If you do
care about your country, use your money to help someone who really
does want to make changes and make America the superpower it once
was again.
And
for any teachers, librarians, festival organisers out there reading
this. BOOK ME! BUY MY BOOKS! I'm quite cute and cuddly when I'm not
writing blogs!
