Clever
and
EXACTLY!!
I only keep following because I started following this saga
when I used to be involved with a woman who lives in Scotland
otherwise, I'd not know anything about what this is about
as I try to keep up to date with politics that might affect me
or people i still love.

Thank you Tallen. Being a Brit living in Portugal I've been drawn in to trying to figure out what to do for the best for my family. Reminds me of studying "management decision-making under conditions of uncertainty" 25 years ago at Henley Management College.

Never in my life has politics been on so much in our house. The House of Parliament has become an episode of Jeremy Kyle. Urgh.
I’m thumbing a lift to the Bermuda Triangle if anyone wants to tag along. 😂

Thanks Miss Sub. I think the Bermuda Triangle is the House of Commons where chunks of common sense go missing every day.

Thanks Juvenalis. Hope you're doing o.k and holding a steady nerve. Everything's still on the line and the jury (ha-ha) is still out trying to come to a consensus decision.

PS: thanks for the RL

Thanks Jemac - looks like the 4 horses of the apocalypse are well bolted from the stable now. I find the only answer is to concentrate on my creative work with poetry, 'farming' and sculpting. It anchors me.

Haha, very well said Josh.
Think I’ve said before, I do everything I can not to follow this stuff... cause it makes me feel sick whenever I get to close to things such as these, I breathe clearer air when detached I guess.
(Good to see you back)

Thank you Sophie for the comment and 'welcome back'.
I'm glad to have the NaPoWriMo now to take my mind away from the crazy politico-stuff and focus on something more worthwhile.
