Greetings to one and all, Without any interference or assistance from the Gods, politicians have an uncanny knack of letting down the people that voted them in. At no stage in my long life, have I ever heard any British politician say that he felt obliged to give the country away. Nor has this compulsive desire ever appeared in any manifesto. "Vote for me, I will solve all your problems, by giving your country away".
It reminds me of the notice on the door of the Post Office, in Sudbury Suffolk.
"To avoid the lunchtime queues, this office will be closed from 1.00pm to 2.00pm".
One might similarly deliver the edict; "To take the pressure off the NHS, and reduce the burden of state pensions, all British people over 75 years will be shot".
There is undeniable truth in this, but aged 78 years, I find it unattractive specially as Pension Credit might wish to claim the over payment from my heir.
Governing a country is difficult, Ted Heath found it beyond him, and delegated it to foreigners.
Lord Grit's unconditional love of his 'Human Masters', is compelled to present his message, and his campaign photo.

politics/religion - REFERENDUM.

'They' say we must never talk about politics or religion. From this we can only deduce that people have been persuaded not to interfere with how their country is managed while they are alive, and not to think about what happens to them, after they are dead.
Thankfully the Plum Tree Faith does not subscribe to either of these constipated gospels. The plums withered relative, the prune, is noted for releasing the bowels, and the freshness of ripe Victoria plums, is an excellent refresher of the human mind.
It is utterly and completely illogical for any person to believe that God gave them a brain; and then encourages his earthly agents, the priests, to tell us we are not to question anything about religion: belief is all. Politicians would like to groom the electorate into similar mindless voting, beware.
"These boots are made for walking", but if the left one is made by a political cobbler, and one by a religious cobbler, must we not put them on our feet? Perhaps we ought use them to keep our hands warm, or hang them around our necks as some leather adornment.
What a load of 'cobblers'.
Of course we are intended to think deeply about how we live, wonder what may happen to our soul after we die, and may I suggest how we behave 'down here', has a significant influence on how we are treated when we get 'up there'.
Lord Grit is a benevolent character bulldog, with unconditional love of his human masters. If you put his name into your search engine, you will see his view of the referendum, and although it has the blessing of this Archpip, you must use your own brains to decide.
