Day 23 of UK lock down and counting


One of the few silver linings to the clouds looming over the UK in the last few months has been that not just Corona but Brexit, the meltdown of the Labour party, and the Resistible Rise of Boris Arturo Ui Johnson, have all deflected attention from the deranged and sociopathic man-child currently occupying the White House. 
Sadly, just like the climate and ecological emergency, and our addiction to consuming global resources, the problem hasn’t gone away, and Trump is still nominally in charge of, at last count, 2,821 nuclear warheads, and a war budget of nearly $700 billion, as well as the well-being of 330 million US citizens. 
That’s the same Trump who, yesterday, lost the plot spectacularly and incoherently when confronted by some mildly critical questioning from journalists at a press briefing. Ye gods !
