It’s election season again. Which means, anything goes. In the USA, the Bidenesque husk on the throne has been summarily replaced (for now) by the empty vessel who would love to vault from first woman VP to first woman POTUS.
‘Problem, reaction, solution’ scenarios – don’t get played!
I’m increasingly coming round to the way of thinking that those who presume to rule over us are engineering or allowing situations to develop that will generate hostile and often violent reactions. These reactions can then be used as a justification for further clampdowns on our freedoms.

It’s going to be a bumpy ride and if we’re going to make any headway, we need to have our wits about us and be flexible and creative in how we react in what will be a turbulent and complex situation.

“Humanity stands together” – a photo essay of a protest
Out on the streets on Saturday 18.12, there were anti-vaxxers marching alongside the double and in some cases, the triple jabbed. There were army veterans marching alongside ravers from the 80s and 90s. There were white working class people marching alongside black and Asian working class people.
