And Then I Repeat…

   Upon awakening to the shocking ‘news’ of the train stabbings, I’m waiting for the ‘official’ translation of the incident once the damage limitation department has it sorted and it’s blamed on a catastrophic software error on a ticket inspectors ticket punching machine.
   May I humbly repeat myself? Thank you:
  Oh to live on an island with easily protected borders An island rich in deposits of coal, natural gas and oil
thus enabling the government to ensure the population they were elected to protect and serve, can live in safety and have secure, readily available, reasonably priced energy.

Quote; A K Haart.

“This soggy word salad is merely bureaucracy, nothing to do with the world beyond the bureaucratic bubble of meetings, resolutions, agendas, posturing, announcements, brochures, discussion papers, media briefings, logos, NGOs, quangos, lectures, strident finger-wagging, virtue peddling, overseas travel and more meetings. Then even more meetings.”

Where do we find an island paradise like that though? The only other blessing it needs would be wise leaders...

Oh...

Wise leaders ... a fantasy to dream about.
