🔮Hopes and Predictions for 2023🔮

Well like everyone else, an end to the war in Ukraine so those poor people there can rebuild their country and their lives and live in peace.

To wish that the women of Iran would make some breakthrough in throwing off the patriarchy who rule their lives, ideally getting rid of an awful theocracy. One only has to look at history to realise how damaging it is to a country to have a religion, any religion even having a modicum of influence. Then if Iran were to rid themselves of the mullahs and replace it with a preferable government which included women, maybe that would trigger a domino effect spreading to their neighbour Afghanistan, where girls can't even go to school. How backward a society to thwart 50% of their society's potential.

Merlotgran and Merylstreep have both got the right ideas. I agree wholeheartedly

Ok MerylStreep - I’m happy with your Putin plan.

Second that about Putin Merylstreep
Peace and stability is what we all need.

Putin to drop dead right now. I would liked him to suffer for longer but needs must when the devil drives.
No one else in the regime will take up the mantle, job done.
And all of the above.

Putin to lose power and Russia to be led by someone who isn’t a deranged psychopath. The war on Ukraine would stop

The various reports into health and social care be properly evaluated and put into action

NHS to be funded like it is in other European countries - ie properly

The tories to either start acting like a compassionate, well informed government or redign

Thank you Jane
I honestly don’t know how I will / can go about it

it will be easier than you think

I would like to see some positive indication that we can/are
making a difference to climate change.
Here in Central France today its 20°c , normally its 0°c
We have a Ski centre not far away with no snow

Putin to be overthrown and an end to the war in Ukraine. Recognition of Palestinian rights and an end to conflict in the Middle East.
An end to human rights abuses everywhere.

Thank you Jane

I second the NHS being taken out of politics. I would do the same with social care.

Ditto..
End of that awful War in Ukraine.

Yes to these.

That the crisis in the NHS is cured, that there are fewer people forced to use food banks, that families can afford to switch their heating on and keep their children warm and top of the list... we get a new government who have a social conscience and actually give a damn.

I like merlotgran list.

Me too...and I would add that I'd like World leaders to take climate change more seriously and that poor countries get proper compensation and help

All of the above too, NHS and Social Care should not be used as a political pawn. I hope the Rail services are re- nationalised and someone manages to get rid of Putin for the sake of everyone.

Apart from the obvious - end of wars, good health for everyone, I wish for my anxiety to go away. It's spoilt my life.

I like merlotgran list.

Agree with all the above.

My mega-wish is for politicians to be honest, but that really is pie in the sky I think.

And thinking towards the end of 2023, for Christmas not to be such an emotional powder keg for so many people.

A General Election
End to the Ukraine war, with victory for Ukraine.
People to just stop talking about H & M
Lots of tory politicians and donors getting their just deserts for ruining my country...

Ditto the NHS and a magic wand.
An end to the war in Ukraine.
An end to fuel poverty.
Harry and Meghan to just Shut Up!

I second the NHS being taken out of politics. I would do the same with social care.

For Nephew to get his CT scan, postponed twice, for a diagnosis to be made and some pills to help him in his tortured life. Sadly I don’t think there are any pills that will help him.

For a pill that will cure MissOops Arthritis in her hands, they are starting to curl up.

For the war in Ukraine to just Stop.

For the Government to actually start to rule the country as they should or get out and let someone else do it, preferably by next week at the latest.

That the NHS is taken out of Politics and run properly.

Seems all my wishes are pie in the sky.

I can’t see anything happening at all until we get a new government.
It’s like we are in a period of total stasis with a caretaker PM

A magic wand to be waved over the poor NHS
