Things which make me very sad

  • Intolerance to different cultures

  • Blaming people less fortunate than ourselves for our own problems

  • Being uncharitable to those with illness or disability

  • Accusing those in poverty of bringing it on themselves

  • Not helping those who are struggling because we consider them undeserving

  • Racial hatred

  • Deliberate spreading and dissemination of lies and hate speech

  • Laughing at the misfortunes of others

  • Deliberately making life difficult for others

  • Ignoring facts which disagree with  your political or religious agenda

    This is not the world as I would have expected it to be in 2017, somethings gone very wrong don’t you think?

    How did we get here?

    One reason is that ignorance breeds fear.

    Odd at a time when for many people more information is available at your fingertips then ever before, people seem less well informed then ever.

If you were wondering why the Tories have quietly dropped their dodgy ‘Bill of Rights’, it’s because they don’t need it any more – they can achieve the same aims, with far less fuss, in their so-called ‘Repeal Bill’.
The Bill will be the most dishonest piece of legislation to go through Parliament in decades – starting with its title. It will repeal nothing. The stated aim is to enshrine European laws that the UK observes (without having passed them as our own) into UK law, to ensure a smoother transition when Brexit happens.

The ‘Repeal Bill’ will put profit over people in a double-whammy for the Tories
