You're too kind Nigel. I hope you are well. It's a beautiful day out there.

Yep it's very strange, in fact it's totally incomprehensible to me, that anyone can fall for the idea that people who are rich and powerful might give up any of that wealth and power to ordinary scum. The Tories don't care about the NHS because they've got private healthcare plans and they don't see why you shouldn't manage your income to sort one out for yourself. I can't see how a country that imagines itself civilised (i.e. America) doesn't look after the health of its poorest and most vulnerable - you'd like to think compassion for others was a basic human trait, and certainly one espoused by Christianity (god knows we have to hear what good Christians the US polititians are). But there they are voting to actually remove support. Essentially because it "costs businesses too much".

The world is really mad and I'm starting to realise it might not get any better.

Yes, well, Lady Liberty says " “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" to which now might be added: "so long as your breathing difficulty isn't a pre-existing condition as you'll get no help with that, sunshine". ;)

Well enough to sit out at the front in the sun and chew the fat with every village passer by, which is as good as it gets for someone of my age (even though a lot of them are Brexiters, bless 'em).

There's always a pendulum. One day Trump and May will be seen as a Bad Thing by every one of their voters!
