Omnishambles

It's scary out there, better put a paper bag over our heads and pretend that it's not there...

Omnishambles

Sometimes you look at the world you think that it is an impossible nightmare. Everything is untying itself. A computer simulation controlled by social media, and of course, the thing in the cupboard under the stairs artificial intelligence, that's in the mix, giving a convicted felon, and a gameshow host the hot seat. Of course he has a bigger red button than anyone else. Possible father issues perhaps? Or maybe the fake tan has damaged whatever brain cells he has?

A gang of misfits and oddballs, surrounding the ‘cheeto’ in chief support these crazy policies. Canada becoming the 51st state, to occupy Greenland, furthermore take over the Panama Canal, and the real brilliant idea, the destruction of NATO. These ideas come from the mouths of people who are not either diplomats or long standing politicians of repute. The film Doctor Strangelove becomes reality?

Even the Republican president Ronald Reagan said that Tariffs were a bad idea. Anyone with a modicum of sense would see that?

Apparently the late Queen Elizabeth the Second confided something about the bottle of fake tan that “she found him 'very rude': she particularly disliked the way he couldn't stop looking over her shoulder, as though in search of others more interesting," this opinion was cited in a book written by Craig Brown called a Voyage Around the Queen.

How we have ended up with this omnishambles is, I think, partly of our own doing? We allowed NATO to become weak, we became too wrapped up with the so-called special relationship, which many times in our history have been far from ‘special’. Sad but true. We delude ourselves. The toxic environment that we are in needs careful navigation. Hopefully we have the skill to navigate through choppy waters?

Looks Brilliant!
