Worst thing about Brexit

Is that our leaders are so useless they couldn't organise their way out of a paper bag.

(Was listening to the radio this morning - they talked to a German politician, who said that yes, Britain could stay part of the single market [like Switzerland or Norway], and it would cost exactly the same we had been paying before. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TAR & FEATHER THE WHOLE OF THE LEAVE CAMPAIGN???)

Even Baldrick had a fucking plan.

Darcy is considering getting a Labour membership, as that way he could have a say in who the new leader would be. Not that Corbyn has left [yet], but he's going to have to. It seems that every hour another shadow cabinet member resigns. Personally I'd like Chukka Umunna to take over - he seems the only one who might be able to face off against Boris in an election. And just imagine - the first black Prime Minister!

Alternatively - Americans, can we borrow Obama? Hold your elections early; Hillary is hyper-competent & more than ready to take the reigns. Then Obama would be able to come over here & sort out the mess. He's used to dealing with idiots after all.

Or, can we put Nichola Sturgeon in charge? (The petition now has 3.6 million signatures...)



(She wants Scotland to block Brexit... I say, let her & Merkel negotiate. More sense than all the rest put together.)

Oh, and I changed my tagline. I'm sure you'll get why.

Nice things.

So, before I go off to the Cherub's sports day, a few nice things to make you smile:

- Undoubtedly the single best thing to happen on 23rd of June: Pearl's first day on location

(It may be that her radiant smile will be one of the only things pulling us through the dark times ahead.)

- Pope: Gays and Others Marginalized Deserve an Apology

- US military 'to lift transgender ban'

- Schoolboys allowed to wear skirts under new 'gender neutral' uniform rules (Move is part of a drive for schools to be more open to children questioning their gender identity)

- Celebrating a year of marriage equality: “Joy” – June 26, 2015 (PHOTOS) (This is a repost of piece Anne posted a year ago. ♥)

This is England (Sports Day 2016)

The Cherub's (primary) school is Catholic, but it sits at the heart of a large Asian part of town, so there are many Asian kids. Also Polish, Phillipino, African etc. - a multitude of colours & nationalities.

The weather was a combination of sunny & cloudy, and rather windy. (Which was good.) It started with a picnic at 12 for children & their families, and then at about 1 the actual sports began.

I was looking around, and it was beautiful. Happy children and parents cheering/taking pictures/chatting/trying not to look bored.

Incidentally the Cherub's best friends are Polish, Russian/Portugese and Indian.

All the girls went to this school, and the diversity is a definite plus. I think fear & hatred comes from isolation [in tribes].

But today at least proved how it can all work and people can get along and be happy. Sign me up for multi-cultural Britain.

All behind a cut!

( Bet you can't guess what this is about... )

And finally...
