Out with my school chums from 57 years ago last night. Actually it was good as I got that awful letter and the craziness off my chest and of course, there was plenty of banter and reminiscing but it did get dark at one point as we realised that the vast majority of our teachers were now dead with just a few exceptions yet even those teachers would be in the mid to late 80s!
But we still had a lot of fun and there was a great photo of us all.
My grandson started school yesterday so we had the obligatory first day at school photo and hi little sister giving him a hug before he went - I imagine she is going to miss him a lot.
Here in the UK we appear to be arresting comedians using armed police for posting hurty words. We are rapidly becoming Venezuela or North Korea. I despair that this government are doing anything about it and lip service is paid to each event. I thought that the sort of intellect on display about national ID to "combat illegal migration" was just another nail in the coffin of our liberal, open society (well we used to have that 25 years ago). I mean it's obvious that "Ihre Papiere, bitte" is the way forward I mean what could possibly go wrong with that that history hasn't taught us?
So - there's lots of stuff to wonder about among the hypocritical-arty government. It's just worth sitting back and watching the car crash but at the same time realising that generations will end up paying for this nonsense.
