The Cloud-Cuckoo Land That is Republican Politics
I’ve just looked at this page on the BBC web site, which sets out the policies of the various Republican candidates, who might stand against President Obama. It looks like they are all against same-sex marriage and abortion, for cutting immigration into the United States, making everybody pay for their own health care and reducing tax rates to companies.
I can’t think of any past or present British politician, except for perhaps the BNP, who would promote such a toxic mix of electoral suicide.
But then the United States is different and you sort out your own problems.
It goes without saying, that no-one would be in favour of improving the justice and penal system and abolishing the death penalty. But then most Americans believe in vengeance and not justice.
As I’ve said Barack Obama has been a disappointment to me, but he’s orders of magnitude better than this psychotic bunch.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
