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...

Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024
A thought provoking end, as always. With the appearance of Lucifer, the devil, I wasn't really expecting the modern (20th century) figure of Oppenheimer, but his case would certainly be a rather unique and difficult one, as it seems he consulted...

Posted on Sun, 09 Jun 2024
Bulgarian elections do sound quite lively and varied! Why do so many places, including the UK, seem to be having so many elections at the moment? Thanks for your entertaining snapshots of life in Bulgaria. I am learning a lot more about that...

Posted on Sat, 17 Feb 2024
Its a good question! Why is everything made in China? (and what if they actually did one day invade Taiwan? Where would we get our good from then, particularly as we no longer make them ourselves?) We must be mad, (or very greedy?). I enjoyed...

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...
