Miscellaneous Current Affairs.

Back again after a stay in hospital. Ankle fusion operation. Still in plaster but on the mend.
 Since my last post Trump has been elected, Britain's brexit, despite all the furore in the courts about parliament or the PM having the final say on instigating Article 50, we are no further forward in the process. Trump however is signing executive orders like there is no tomorrow.
   On the home front, the Scottish parliament along with Wales and Northern Ireland are to be frozen out of brexit negotiations. A second independence referendum in Scotland seems inevitable. The timeline for that is still to be arranged. My guess is 2020.
 Fake news is all the rage. BBC have been at it for years but it seems that Fox, Sky, CNN, MSNBC etc. have shown an appetite for it also. The Russians are to blame for everything, probably even the extinction of the dinosaurs.
All in all we live in eventful times. How will it all pan out? Who knows. It will however, be interesting.
Till next time.
