Sadness, Irony and a Bit of Common Sense – Another Mad Week in Britain
As every week passes, Britain seems to go that bit more crazy and this week has been no exception, with lashings of the following. Sadness The murderer of MP, Jo Cox, Thomas Mair, was sentenced to life behind bars this week and will never be released. It doesn't matter what your political persuasion is, she was a democratically elected member of parliament and a mother of two children, butchered in her constituency by a terrorist screaming ...
2016 – A Pothole on the Road to Enlightenent
