Last night in the chip shop cafe " Didnt Jesus once enter a church with a whip when he was really pissed off or something " ?
I know its a stereo type but many Americans ive heard just dont stop talking in a whinny droning voice. On and on they go. Im not sure how that line cropped up...lol
Right now the media are bringing up the fact that Starmer may not last politically this year out. If that is so then we shall soon have a leadership challenge election in the Labour party. Once again a leader will emerge who has not been elected by the general public.This happens with increasing frequency both here, and if you notice around the world.
In the 80's government leaders seemed more stable and lasted their full term. The last Conservative government had 5 leaders during its reign. What a joke. Its like musical chairs. Every move a leader makes is scrutinized and analysed with equal intensity by 24 hour news. The smallest development is spread out into days of news coverage. It seems everyone has a short boredom threshold including politicians who constantly want to tinker to gain popularity as soon as a little trouble arrives. on the other hand...
Labour won a historical landslide but today the party is turning on its leader ( and no surprise there ) How quickly a huge win crumbles. I guess thats how democracy works, and its a good thing as long as the new person actually delivers true change. The problem is they never do so it all seems like a farce. Whoever comes next must deliver change. The problem is that to elect that savior will require us to vote in faith again in a system that has let us down so often. If people are tired enough they will give the wheel one last spin, and I think it will be the last one.
Yesterday I was given quite a start. My daughter sat with one hand holding the neck of her jumper against her face with two fingers. This is exactly how my late granddad used to sit in that same pose. He died long before she was born though. So where on earth did she learn that position from ?
On another occasion years ago when she was maybe 7 years old I watched her walk across a field with her hands held behind her back, and leaning slightly forward. That was another trait of my granddad. As ive previously said she never met him and I was genuinely shocked, though she found it amusing.
Its not unusual for character traits to get passed down the generations, but physical postures like these ? Saying that I drum my fingers and have been told that my great granddad did the same. Of course genes pass down physical traits and character traits, but do they pass on habits like these and if so why ? as they are surely pretty random, and nature only does what it needs to do and no more with great efficiency.
Maybe the answer is "un-natural " Maybe some parts of the past relative literally enter us at times ? Ive stopped short of using the R word here. At what point might you think it may become appropriate ?
We must acknowledge small wins. I pointed this out to a YouTuber who makes lots of content on the dystopian state that the UK is slowly becoming. This awful government has made two huge U - turns on very controversial issues that would impact our future recently.
The first was cancelling the planned inheritence tax increase for farmers wanting to pass on land after their death. I think someone told the government that future food supplies could be in jeopardy.
The second was a U-turn by reversing a compulsory new rule that would require a digital I.D be necessary if you wanted to work.
We have more power than we think.
Other stupid ideas ahead will be quashed as well I hope. If we dont acknowledge small wins we shall go mad.
Ive noticed that many YouTubers have mental health issues meaning that some corruption of viewpoints may be occurring, but doesnt that apply to everyone ?
