What's The Issue?

What's The Issue?

I cannot begin without commiserating at the loss of the Queen of England. There are those who mourn her passing with depth and sincerity and those that question her reign and all it represents to those who were affected by the empire that she represents.

As exemplary as she was we have to acknowledge the part that the scourge of war played in building an empire upon which the sun never sets. Also, she could have pardoned Julian Assange long ago. Just saying.

Here at home keeping the lights on is become as hot an issue as keeping the house warm is becoming in Europe. They can't afford it and we can't get it. I wonder if there is a company that sells candles that is listed on the stock exchange?

ESKOM seems to have been weaponised in the struggle to burn down the country so the looters can rule over the ashes. A total disregard for 'The People', but where are 'The People'? While our politicians are literally killing each other to get the power to control the budgets, we The People are too busy looking for the remote for the TV to do anything meaningful about our predicament.

Well, some leaders are better than others, and world leaders have made decisions that lead to headlines that read, "The United States Sends 12 F-22 Raptor Fighter Jets to Poland, For What?"

The ugliness of the Ukraine conflict grows ever more menacing and the West won't back down, Putin delayed his speech to the nation, what a whirlwind that caused.
