Politics is a Mess.

The world has gone totally mad. The west is up in arms over what Assad and Putin are allegedly doing in Syria while selling what amounts to weapons of mass destruction to Saudi Arabia for them to carpet bomb Yemeni civilians. Also, 'coalition' (NATO) forces are bombing Isis fighters in the Iraqi city of Mosul putting the lives of up to one million civilians still living in the city, at risk. This is fully justified by Obama while, when Assad and Putin are trying to rid Allepo of Isis, it's called a crime against humanity. The double standards of western governments is staggering. The western mainstream media are willing participants in this charade. The sad thing is that millions of people believe wholeheartedly everything they are told. Sadly, this story will run and run.
The UK is in the throws of trying to decide how we will leave the EU. The rhetoric surrounding this is becoming more and more acrimonious by the day. Both sides of the argument are trading insults and forgetting exactly what they are supposed to be doing, and that is, ensuring that the UK leaves in a dignified and fair manner. In a sentence, both sides are being childish in the extreme.
I'm starting to get angry about it all and so I will finish for the time being.
