In 10 years of writing on my blog, the political landscape has changed and it doesn't feel comfortable. I feel I am left with little choice but to write about what is happening and because I want to feel better.
The Truth will always Exist
I am sorry my blog doesn't always make for comfortable reading. The truth will always exist, even if it's ignored, or not spoken about. The truth is out there whether you accept it, or not. The political landscape is fraught with difficulties.
The Media
The media talks about banks taking away credit cards for ex-pats living in Europe unless they still have residence in the UK. The Government promised that the £350M sent to the EU each week, would go back into the NHS and that is what the 2016 referendum vote was based on.
Their initial reasoning isn't matching up to what we’re seeing unfold and those in politics should backtrack on the new facts in front of us. All we can do is sit back and watch our lives being snatched away. I hate the fact that I'm having to use my blog to talk about these things. With autism, not talking about these things just creates more anxiety.
A Non-caring Country
Having to deal with Brexit around a pandemic also, isn't going to end well – and all we can do is sit back and watch. Politicians running the country care more about themselves than they care for people and choose not to mediate.
Brexit issues
Jobs are being lost. Manufacturers, shops and offices are shedding jobs, smaller businesses are closing because they can't afford to stay open. Farmers are struggling to make ends meet, to survive, in many cases they're taking on extra work. With an ever-shrinking economy, firmly set in recession and Brexit still looming, it's time the government put the brakes on. (Source: independentcouk)
The UK should have back-tracked
Everything I have written here and the fact that the world is facing a pandemic at the same time should be enough for politicians to backtrack. Where none of us can vouch for ignorance, or ego I shall continue to write about the things that affect us all. All I can do is sow a seed to hope and positive change can prevail, one blog at a time.
We are living in times not experienced in the post-war period; times when we need to trust and be guided by leadership.
Instead here in the UK we have a political party solely concerned with their own selfish interests and unenlightened, nationalistic ideologies, rather than social equality and human rights.
Meanwhile we are literally staring down the barrel of economic and social collapse and they don't give a sh*t. Rome burned while Nero fiddled.
We need to to keep sewing that seed, Ilana. Thank you for getting your thoughts out there on what we all have to deal with.
Yes, quite. I shall always write about these things. Initially I never set out to write about these things, but my anxiety is worse when I don't.
Talking about things in the way I do, although it may not change everything, it may change one thing and that's good.
As you rightly say 'sewing that seed' is important and needs to happen. I will always endeavour to do that.
