 Cummings and goings.....

The demon of Downing Street is gone, toting a huge, unprofessional cardboard box. Hope it didn’t contain a rival’s head. A huge vacuum is left in the British government just as we enter the final crucial days with EU mandarins over Brexit. The irony is that, across the Channel, Macron has his own croix de guerre, fighting rising Muslim terrorism. He seems alone in urging the EU to reinforce security borders - the main reason Britain left the EU in the first place! Looking west, Trump still clings to power, refusing to concede whilst pictures emerge of the incoming President’s past associations with the IRA. That doesn’t sit well with this (Birmingham) writer when the infamous IRA bombers of The Tavern in the Town are yet to be brought to justice. At my age, I’ve seen it all. Politics is so complex, not helped by a gullible public currently engulfed by a Chinese plague to rival the Black Death, yet always swayed by the media of the day. I need a drink.
