Embrace Hope and Be Happy - First Of All, Dump The Right Wing And Fascists

Introduction

In July 2016, the spiteful imbeciles that call themselves the Tory party were six years into the destruction of the UK's economy and infrastructure and delivered a coup-de-grace by taking us out of the world largest trading bloc to pander to the racists, bullies, and tax avoiding cheats and the right wing media backed them up to the hilt. The USA got its first dose of Trump.

The word Tory derives from the Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw". It entered the English language in the 17th century, when it was used to describe Irish outlaws who survived by committing acts of robbery and plunder against English settlers.

We had another six years of this idiocy, resulting in huge financial losses for everyone apart from the tax-dodging government and their cronies.

We got them out, but the current Labour cabinet is still pandering to the racists and homophobes and targeting minorities, but a lot of the party is holding them to account, so we are in a better place now.

Unfortunately, the USA's idiot majority electorate has voted in a fascist, hateful, morinic party who have built their first concentration camp. Trump is back and worse than ever.

Embrace Hope and Be Happy

After the shock of the EU Referendum, we're still here, we just have to put in more effort to make things right. Throughout my life, I've been called thick and stupid by people who don't have the ability to comprehend what I say. Michael Gove stated that people were sick of experts, and some of the electorate agreed with him.

There are a lot of Red Top Readers out there. Professor Brian Cox says this is a way back to the Stone Age. Check his article here.

Who'd have thought I would be taking my lead from D: Ream's keyboard player!

Things Can Get Better.

A few people who voted leave stated their reasons for voting leave were "Too Many Immigrants, "Too Many (Unspecified) Laws", and the Leave Campaigners immediately denied responsibility for the claims or promises that they made. It's like buying a 2.8 litre Mercedes and then finding out there are bike pedals under the bonnet, and the seats are plastic and the music system is an 8-Track.. Caveat Emptor.

But we are still here, and there is a lot to be hopeful about. Look to your friends and the people around you. The people you can hug, the people you can share fun with. This post may be a bit me-centric and Newcastle-centric, but I believe that we can come out of this smiling. A lot of things are wrong, but I know so many positive people who work together to make things better, that I do believe that we will overcome the culture of selfishness that has been endemic since the Thatcher/Reagan era. Since then, I have seen a lot of good, a lot of people helping others, a lot of great charity work, though I am looking forward to a time when we don't need charity. I don't know how that will happen, but I am sure it will.

So start now, be there for those that need you and want you, smile at people, find something that makes YOU happy and share that with others. I am feeling positive, and a positive attitude makes good things happen. Smile, Be Happy, and Share.

Have a Wonderful week. I am sorry that this post is a meandering mess, but really, Things WILL get better. I've chosen The Rumour's Emotional Traffic as he song ... well, you know why.

Conclusion

The UK is improving very slowly, recovering from fourteen years of right-wing destruction, I hope the USA can do something about the Fascists.
