Well, so, after yesterdays stunningly succinct show by Mr Bojangles, proceeded by Savage Jab-it stating the chemi cocktail won’t be mandatory here, not long after stating that it will be mandatory for care workers and NHS, blessed be its name, workers. I guess the plan is it’ll become mandatory softly, softly, workgroup by workgroup then.
If so, ‘they’ may have missed a trick. As the puncture was initially heralded as the saviour of the elderly, why didn’t ‘they’ start there? No jab – no state pension. Dear Savage Jab-it, that was typed in jest and is not to be considered as an idea for consideration, okay?
You think those wot would rule over us have either lost the plot or are hoping to be put back in their protective hiding bags before it all becomes obvious to one and all wot a con we be living through and blood is called for?
Meanwhile, here’s a donated link via Rick for the rest{?} of us;
Finally, please check the links left by the good Ripper in the comments to the last post. As Ripper sot of says, take the Australian clip with a moderate pinch of salt. Timidadian Warning - naughty words in the other one.
I’m sure you’re all familiar with Desiderata by Max Ehrmann and if you aren’t, you should be, but do you remember Desiderata For Our Time? Well, so, it’s that time again is it not. Words wot need spreading very far and jolly wide;
Desiderata For Our Time
by Seneca III
Go with stout heart amid the noise and turmoil, and remember what peace there may be in victory. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with your own and forgive them their timidity for they do not understand what is upon them.
Give neither time nor succour to those loud and aggressive people who are inimical towards you; they are vexatious to the spirit and a threat to your person. If you compare yourself with them you waste your days in needless introspection.
Enjoy your achievements and those of your forebears, and stay true to your past. Keep yourself interested in your freedom, however demanding; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your governance, for those who would presume to govern can often be full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtues there are amongst your own; many people strive for high ideals, and everywhere the lives of your brothers and sisters are full of quiet heroism.
Speak truth unto tyrants and listen to others who do the same. Speak of this even to those of your gentle neighbours who stand confused amidst the tumult; they did not ask to be defenestrated and consumed in an inferno of treachery.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection for those who hold none for you. Neither be cynical about your love for your own; they who do not possess this gift are in all their aridity and disenchantment as sterile as the sands of their deserts.
Take wisely the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the naivety of youth; it is not ordained that your bloodline be scoured from the pages of history nor that your lives and livelihoods be torn asunder on a rack of barbarism.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness, but if you are joined each with the other who stands beside you, fatigue will not bring fear as its handmaiden.
With a wholesome discipline be firm with yourself and ruthless unto those who would destroy you. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; in absolute, you, and you alone, have the right to live safe in your ancestral lands all according to your ways.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is not unfolding as it should. Therefore be at ease with those actions you must now take in order to gift to your children a future free of chains, and give no mercy where none is due.
Hence, whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, gather together, keep your wrath quietly within and your swords close to hand then let those instruments fall heavily upon the heads of those who seek to take from you your birth-right and cast it amongst swine.
Even with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, this world can be beautiful again. Be cheerful; be courageous. Strive hard and strike firmly; stride boldly into the encroaching darkness, for thus will you soon pass through it into light.
