I reckon the E U will get the severe shake-up it needs and just maybe, we'll come out better for it - time will tell, but it's too cloudy right now.

    As for Trump, he's financially above most of the wealthy US families who have run the show in the past. It's my hope he can shake things up there - for the better, long term - but he's going to need rank and file lower down to moderate the excesses. People don't always like change, but now I reckon some change is due.

    I can't speak for Corbyn. He's such a scruffy unkempt thing (in the cause of ageing hippy 'freedom' I suspect) I doubt he'll ever be our PM, in the same way Michael Foot never was, despite being extremely clever and articulate I remember, along with Kinnock, who was extremely articulate before becoming the party leader.
    Yeah I know,
    He should Put on a proper suit, do up his tie and sing the National Anthem...

    What's a tie?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
