UN takes twelve months

n.b. It only took the UN a year to put together such a clear statement. Meanwhile, in the grand scheme of things…people have died, homes destroyed, the business of war enriched.
Honestly, a year. FFS.

curious, fearful, intrigued?

n.b. Classic headline. The art of headline writing is alive and well in Norfolk. Loving the ambiguity; suspicion of nuclear waste’s existence, or fear of plans to deposit nuclear waste?

now the hole story
liar by his omissions
outline of events
~
n.b. With this UK government, it’s what they don’t say we have to be careful of; the unknown knowns, so to speak.

paramedics wait up
patients in car parks for hours
our chronic decline
~
n.b. All very well spending £ billions of the public‘s taxed money on an aircraft carrier which broke on sea trials, PPE that was useless and never used, bureaucracy to leave the EU, (our biggest trading partner), but nothing invested in hospitals for those very taxpayers.
Meanwhile, tax dodging (avoidance and evasion) of the highest order persists by those actually in the highest executive positions of power.
Tax the richest harder. No such thing as trickle down economics, as the rich get richer and the gap widens between the excess of haves and the poverty of have nots.
The UK is a shambolic mess. How not to run a country.
Enough is enough.

nothing to see here
it's everywhere else you look
glass house, stones to hand

n.b. Seems like these days, everyone carries a pocketful of stones, just in case, but that’s Social Media for you.

all dreams dissolved, fear took grip
each day feels endless
~
n.b. Faith in The Great Healer crumbles, as Time slows and every single second chews up and spits out another a piece of the soul, in slow motion.
Ever done something you wish you had not?
CLP 17/01/2023
who are you kidding?
all the better to feel joy

return anywhere
never quite what it had been
if memory's true
~
n.b. We rely on our versions of events, people, places to negotiate each day.
Confusion comes with fading memory. Understanding comes with wisdom. Truth is defined by the storytellers.
