Time for some commonsense, right around the globe.  To US voters, whom should you choose? A self-promoting psychopath who sometimes does amazing things like bringing an increasing number of Arab States to sign peace agreements with Israel - something no president has ever before managed to do? A far better contributor to the Nobel Peace Prize than his predecessor. Or, an ageing, muddled, but decent bumbler who espouses elements of cultural and moral barbarism?  Here in the UK, a very different politic continues. Constant depression and moaning abounds. Left-wingers, even in the House of Commons, use appalling comments like ‘Toryscum’. Fortunately, this is never reciprocated from the other side, who are generally better educated and more polite. Meanwhile, the government has paid out £192 billion to needy families whose jobs and incomes have been threatened by Covid legislation, more than any British government has done in history. In Israel today, a friend reports on her ‘wonderful country’.  My message to Britain: please can we also be more supportive of our own country, which is doing its very best in these difficult times.
