Things certainly won't change - not when we're gently nudged into accepting that taxes may rise and perhaps even the retirement age. After all, these poor, poor 'teenage' boys need looking after, which costs money, and "we" need to beef up our Armed Forces for more 'hammer blows' on Putin ... gawd, our MSM are beyond despicable.

And yet somehow the gubberment will always find vast sums of money to spaff away unnecessarily.

We are living through the Decline and Fall of the West.

Everybody is fiddling whilst Rome burns. Nobody can see it burning.

At this rate, Russia will be a better place to live than the West because Putin still knows what a man is and isn't and he knows how to deal with feckless murderers (even though people he personally knows have a habit of falling out of windows!).

All the weird madness of woke is a sign that the West is failing.

Do you mean you are not looking forward to our bug-eating, propertyless future? I should have half a mind to report you to the authorities.

I will be 64 in a couple of months and I keep finding myself thinking how things were so much better when I was younger. Then I tell myself that everyone says that as they get older (although you don’t believe you will ever say it 😉). It wasn’t easy working in a man’s world when we were supposed to be equal, but we were never treated as such. I would rather have the irritation of that than the “woke” behaviour now. What fun is there anymore? No wonder people want to work from home, everyone is scared of offending someone. We live in our bubbles whilst groups of people such as this murderer, maraud in our cities. I have consoled myself that I will be OK because I live in a rural area and yet I live between Bournemouth and Salisbury. It’s getting closer and I want to do something, but what?

At least the U-turn she had to make was quite delicious.

Yes, I had noticed that as well.

The closing of banks really is a worrying sign. Not only for people who can't get to the next town to use one, but also for what it presages - digital currencies.

As for the decline of local towns, there are so many factors. A piece going up tomorrow touches just on that topic, in fact. Not that such things matter to those living within the M25.
