What is the issue

What is the issue

Well the most important thing going on is our new president. Yes, he is ours, we may not have voted for him but he is still ours. He may not even be on the same continent but Donald is now one of the most powerful men in the world and so we will be affected by him, he is our American president. Yours and mine, sorry.

So far he has been quite cool, I love his stand on Syria, I was hoping he would come out in favour of ending the crisis and stopping the American support for the rebels, who have now been caught red handed using weapons of mass destruction on the Syrian people as well as the Syrian army and the American administration should be hiding their heads in shame for the suffering they have caused in their attempts to overthrow the regime. Sanctions and political pressure would have been so much more effective, but then if we dig a little deeper we might just find that it wasn't just about the regime, military moves seem more plausible.

Maybe, just maybe NATO will back down from their aggressive attack on Russia and we could even achieve world peace. Don't laugh, it is plausible. We just have to get rid of the war mongering money grabbing bastards who perpetuate war and we can do it. I believe. I'm na*ve.

I am not na*ve enough to believe the news reports on CNN and sadly to say now Sky News, the propaganda, lies and deceit are so glaringly obvious to even the slightly informed viewer that my cheeks flush red with embarrassment for the poor newscaster and I find myself ranting at the screen as though they can hear me on the other side. It's ridiculous. Russia Today is giving the western media a lambasting, not that they care, but I can't help wondering how many civilian lives will pay for the lies they are spreading.

Speaking of lies we can come closer to home and a can of doom won't solve these problems. The figures were released for the wasteful spending by municipalities, I saw this cute chart that represented the billions using planets and the astronomical figures brought a lump to my throat. I imagined what an awesome nation we would be if we could just stop the corruption, maladministration and wasteful expenditure of government funds. Can you imagine We could all have Nandos for dinner. All of us.

What we need is a giant can of Doom and that Pastor dude can just spray the whole country and we will all be cured of this sickness that is causing so much suffering.

So if we can't be saved by a giant can of Doom, or even Dyroach, then maybe the Unions will rid us of the number one cause of our political woes. Maybe Mmusi Maimane will pull his finger out and approach the unions and develop a new power sharing agreement that takes this country towards its greatness, and maybe we can all get a free unicorn and some special fairy dust that turns mud into gold.
