politicians
Reviews of the politicians kissing babies and running governments around the world; applaud and criticize the decisions they make and their implications.
"They Make a Desolation..."
"We are not lovers, we are not romantics, we are here to serve you." Gary Numan, "Down in the Park" Let me start off by saying there's one thing you can be sure of: Whoever has the power to dictate terms decides whose "rights" matter, and whose don't.
Am I Going Crazy?
The world has gone crazy, and I don't know what to do about it. This has been going on for a while. Billions of pounds were wasted in the pandemic on PPE or contracts to the MP's friends, the cost of living crisis and the war on Ukraine, started by an utter madman (just to name a few).
Why do politicians, of all parties, say such stupid things?
Why do politicians, of all parties, say such stupid things? Why must a politician have an opinion of everything? Look at the headlines, on just about all media platforms, and you see statements supposedly from prominent politicians that just do not seem logical. First, we need to examine the platform and its own political bias, they all have them. Some are so extreme in their devotion to a particular political ideology that everything they say has to be treated with great caution. They will make claims that rival ideology statements are dangerous and evil when in reality the rival ideology has not made any such statement. Even less extreme platforms will “misinterpret” the meaning of innocuous quotes that a rival politician has made. All parties have begun to operate in the same way and democracy itself is suffering because of it. Fake news, disinformation, inuendo and downright lies have become normal to such an extent that they are accepted and not even vilified anymore. This is not healthy for the future.

In the ever-evolving landscape of international relations, few issues are as contentious and emotionally charged as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Within this never-ending debate, there exists a complex and often misunderstood relationship between Christians and the state of Israel. While many devout Christians do express strong support for Israel, it is crucial to question whether this support is blind or if it is rooted in a deeper theological and historical context.

Matt Gaetz, we need to talk about Kevin. It may seem churlish of me to criticize you at the moment of your greatest triumph.

Rac·ism Hidden As Pa·tri·ot·ism
Sunday, 1 October 2023 By: TB Obwoge During the last few years of the Trump administration White supremacists had been having the best times of their lives. Being openly racist is not a deal breaker, unless you say something or do something extremely stupid….wait that’s not a deal breaker either for racists. The felt emboldened into thinking there would be a 2nd term.

Tuesday, 26 September 2023 By: TB Obwoge I’ve written about Africa for the better part of the last 2 years, no one has ever noticed the similarities of these African countries governments. The soul crushing, lack of humanity, sexism, xenophobia and lack of compassion for their citizens.

August 7th (Washington, D.C.) – Protestors outside the White House yesterday found themselves the recipients of a unique proposition when the President of the United States invited them inside to discuss their concerns. Unfortunately for them, a lack of cohesion in the crowd made it appear that the opportunity would slip through their fingers. How this rare opportunity to meet with the President came about and the reverberations from the entire escapade has left the protestors, law enforcement officers, and members of the federal government reeling. Details are still emerging, but this is what we know so far.

Sir Keir Must Present His Credentials
Sir Keir will be meeting President Macron soon. He and his Team will climb the steps of the Elysee Palace to be greeted by Macron. President Macron, from his point of view, will want to familiarise himself, with what could be the UK's next government. The personal chemistry between Macron and Starmer will be important as will be the body language (for you people watchers out there!). Important because Macron and Starmer will need to have a good working relationship, friendship, and similar goals. This will apply when Keir Starmer (as Prime Minister) meets other world leaders.

Prime Minister's Questions have always been a stormy and bantery affair. Prime Ministers and Opposition Leaders have always said, they want an end, to 'Punch and Judy' politics. This refers to the constant argumentative and confrontational time that occurs between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Yet, for every statement, to make this affair more calm and peaceable, it hasn't happened.
