Life Is As Simple as A B C For Brits:

 Yeah . .AUSTERITY - BREXIT - COVID ......

I've been chatting with several 'LOCKDOWN-LAND' English mates in the last few days - and it's hard not to feel utter dismay at the quality of their lives .. AND that dismay is really close to disgust at the abject failings of the 'Old Etonian' administrations they have "elected" to run their country in the last decades.

- That British regime of Austerity was supposed to cut their government spending and help repay debt - which has now multiplied to more than 3 Trillion Pounds (Truly nearer to 5 Trillion Pounds).    https://www.nationaldebtclock.co.uk/

Brexit was an ill considered Xenophobic-racist policy to remove UK from Europe .. They will pay the price starting from .. NOW. 

Covid-19 viral pandemic is showing the Brits how their Health Care service - just like their Education and Law Enforcement - has been underfunded, neglected, & run-down close to collapse such that only the dedication of staff is preventing total failure.

Don't forget that we New Zealanders are British ..

- As for our friends in USA .. what can you say? - Perhaps "Nations get the Government they deserve" is a comment that covers it all .. But surely NO people deserve such gross miss-management of their affairs. - It is significant that over in the New World some 9 MILLION Americans have become new first time gun owners in 2020. - 32 Million FBI Gun Background Checks were conducted in that one year.

They have their reasons ..

Britain is spending (Don't forget 'AUSTERITY') - more than 6 Billion Pounds on two white elephant aircraft carriers PLUS they intend to pay another 16 Billion Pounds on planes to park onboard .. they seem to want to copy U S with their giant carriers.

In 1969 the carrier USS ENTERPRISE caught fire off Hawaii on it's way to Vietnam again and was close to blowing it's EIGHT NUCLEAR REACTORS and one hundred NUCLEAR BOMBS onboard before they managed to stop the fire. - 342 casualties.

Nah - That's Star Treck's USS ENTERPRISE

Underwater drones designed to destroy carriers are currently making their crews an endangered species.

Governments do that .. they spend our taxes on shit-bling that THEY fancy rather than on what their subjects actually need.

9 Million more Americans decided last year that they need a gun to protect themselves from their government neglect .. can you say that they are wrong? - Can I smell violence & insurrection on the air?

- Will Jacinda Ardern's cabinet continue stamping on NZ lawful gun owners in 2021 while "talking" to gangs?

I started this post quoting ABC but I reckon the word for this year 2021 will settle as CHAOS

- Don't waste your time stockpiling toilet paper .. what would you use it for if the sewage system shuts down? - you'd be better buying a small spade.

Chaos theory is a part of mathematics. - It looks at certain systems that are very sensitive. A very small change may make the system behave completely differently.
