That seems, at this moment, like a very good suggestion, although changing the rules and culture which give them so much power, may be a bit difficult!

My article from over a year
Posted on Sun, 30 Jun 2024
My article from over a year ago is interesting in the light of the current General Election as it does show the sense of impending dissatisfaction, eg. strikes and complaints about the cost of living crisis and inflation, and perhaps...

Your concern for the future
Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024
Your concern for the future of our children, our society, and our climate and its effects, shines out intelligently from your article. I enjoyed folowing your thoughts on these matters and I do agree. As with some other very relevant pieces, I...

I am interested to hear the continuation of your son's (real!) story! (which would actually make a great film or book, once a definite ending to the ongoing tale is reached!?) . You make a very interesting overview of the Russian Invasion story...
