Brexit Belief

We have yet to recover from the 2008 crash.
Austerity is still with us and shows little sign of evaporating.

Yet, we'll renegotiate 43 years of deals, intertwined business protocols and complex procedural arrangements and recover from Brexit smoothly, quickly, easily?

I don't believe it.

I vote to Remain.

For The Orlando Dead - June 12th 2016

Fifty, yet, dead; a coward
Inspired by craven belief

Rupert Murdoch - A Palpably Powerful Political Activist

As this morning on Sky News "Murnaghan" when TV media gives Brexit the last word remember this:

Life Goes On

From far and wide
Concerned friends,
Family and healthcare
Professionals advised him
"Strychnine is lethal”
“Nonsense” he poo-pooed
“You’re scaremongering!
Threatening, bullying!
Don’t tell me what to do!
Cast aside project fear
Be positive, optimistic
I'm the fifth healthiest person
In the room!"

We didn’t go to his funeral
As far as we know no one did
Times were tough
They're tougher now
Especially for the kids

Muhammed Ali - Farewell

Farewell Muhammed Ali
You chose your name
And label

Despite white cowardice
You stung like a bee, and
Encouraged me
To be Me

Thank you
Muhammed Ali
