It Will Come

 ...And they shall beat  their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more....

...They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 2: 4 and 11: 9

Annoyed

 It remains to be seen how annoyed or otherwise the British will be about their government's disregard of parliament and public opinion as it pushes ahead with an attack on Syria. I'm annoyed, of course, but  I have a long history of being annoyed by such things and the fact that I'll never vote Tory again is vitiated by the fact I've never voted Tory in my life. It would be nice to think that people who haven't been particularly annoyed before will take umbrage at this latest outrage- and will use whatever clout they have to move May and Johnson out of office.

Say what you like about Jeremy Corbyn but he's not a warmonger. For me that fact overrides everything else. 

As usual Craig Murray is worth reading. 

Here I Stand

 I love my country. I love my country very much. I just wish it wasn't run by greedy sociopaths.
