“For the first time since the dawn of the Renaissance, innovation is now feared by the vast majority of people. And the tech leaders, once admired and emulated, now rank among the least trustworthy people in the world.”

Thank you god your insights Gevorg, it is always appreciated. Politics is a dirty game. How anyone can trust a politician is beyond me.

Just had someone come to our door regarding the ‘(s)election tomorrow. My response;

“I won’t be voting for no one because all of Westminster is a uni party. They don’t listen to the people, never have - never will. The MP for our area never responds to our emails. I know exactly what’s going on, you know what I mean? Are you ready to listen? How much time you got?”

His response, “I’m sorry to hear that (the MP not responding). Okay, thanks bye”.

I swear, he ran down the drive so quickly I didn’t see him for dust. It’s quite a longish drive as well. Oh dear.

If the think tanks get any vaguer, more unconstitutional, more ahistorical and more undifferentiated in their for-pleb-consumption line on who lawfully has power, derived how and why, to do what and say what to whom, when and where, they’ll be in danger of sinking even as far as the level of the churches!

“At some stage, we are going to have to cut the umbilical cord with the state. Getting our urban areas back will prove very easy to accomplish; what is not easy to get over is the sense of shame at willing abuse perpetrated by our enemy authorities because we wanted the flow of freebies to continue a bit longer. That is a stain that you just can’t get rid of through political action.”

A genre of billboard that one typically sees in the EU Quarter of Brussels.

The Westminster equivalent is the governing party backbencher’s softball at Prime Minister’s Question Time: “Does the honourable gentleman agree that he is a jolly good egg—indeed, that this country needs a robust Good Eggs Strategy—and when will he be investing public funds in the megacorp in my constituency that’s tipped me the wink for a non-executive directorship once I lose my seat?”

Election Day meditation

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.


Colossians 3:12–17
