A planatery point of view

The world has changed and I can’t ever see a reason for it ever going back to how it once was. A veil has been removed from people’s eyes made it clear for all to see and something has changed within the conscience of man forever a truth no lies can now take away.

The cleaner, the carer, the farmer, the food seller all super heroes in mine and many other people’s eyes now. My political perception is moving to being of a planatarian or global point of view. Many things that seemed normal yesterday and expected to be the same tomorrow are now far from my point of view.

To hope for a future that may never appear is still a reason to be hopeful and hope that hope never disappears.

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.”

Mad world on life support

Well social isolation for all except those that work in the serve us sector the cleaners, the shelf stackers and carers are prity much keeping society on life support from now on and they are the so called low skilled and certainly low paid.

Mother Nature proving just how puny we really are

The industrialised and calculated damage to the planet and to the plants and animals that live on it and how humanity seems to think it can carry on regardless without consequence is truly being tested this decade. We have had record temperatures, flooding, fires and now Coronavirus. The flooding , fires and temperatures records didn’t really seem to get under the skin of the corporations, billionaires and governments running our show globally.

Even though we have seen a lot of mass marketing by governments organisations and billionaires concerning how much they care and what great lengths they are going to in order to help our species continue to industrially manipulation the planet, butcher wildlife to make more room for the crap we buy before it goes to landfill whilst worshiping at the altar of capitalism it just does not really feel as if anything has changed.

That is until Coronavirus came along, everything seems to have changed now and people in charge are mobilising as if war has just been declared. It really does feel like it has got under the authorities skin. My chances of living or dying in this world dont seem to have changed that much and someone living in a piss poor country trying to escape to a better life to a richer continent, their life chances don’t seem to have changed much. But for our leaders and people in charge they now realise more now then ever before that like us all are just mere mortals and only human.

When I was a child at school back in the early 1990’s my geography teacher started to tell us about climate change, the industrial deforesting and destruction of biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest and the amount of undiscovered by man, species we were losing by the bucket load. She darkly commented ‘well of course it won’t affect my generation but it will of course affect yours’ and then laughed and carried on with the lesson. Even back then and still to this day I very much knew she was right.

I don’t know whether to fear Coronavirus or to be in awe of its simple deadly efficiency. Well only time will tell.

View of Brexit

I voted to remain along with 16,141,241 million voters or 48.1% of the electorate but accepted the vote of the people even though many voted on a lie, it was our responsibility to discern what was fact and fiction when we voted and this will be the fact of the matter in every election. But should we have a right to be told the truth and in this day and age where do you go to get the truth about a situation and how do you know it is not a lie?

Where the feck has all this vitriol and hatred of others come from, from the Brexit brigade and where will it all end and how did it start in the first place. We are not a nationalistic fascist state at this time, I thought this was a liberal nation of nations with the pursuit of individual and economic freedom. What defines a nation or group of nations as good, great, poor, bad, a failure or a success?

I feel like some are now expecting for a little Great Britain that has never, will never and can never exist and are celebrating the fact they think this has now happened and a war has been won. It appears more like the UK is cutting off its nose to spite its face with pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one’s anger.

THE EU is not perfect but who or what is? With the Magna Carta we were told to have rights as individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial, what about the right to be told the truth? Was the EU given a fair trial because it has been and is on trial?
