Well someone has to start this thread. He cannot be worse than George W Bush or more incontinent than Jack Kennedy - can he?

Despite whatever,s said on social media or any other media.The majority of ordinary people are sick to the back teeth of the way things are today.Its alright for the privileged lovies ensconced in their gated palaces,who don't have a bleddy clue how the rest of us live,[or bleddy care] most of them.
We have voted for change,it's almost a cry for help.
Ok,I agree he may not be the best,but the alternative was unthinkable.
The majority agree.

Yes, we know that, but change isn't always for the best. Just because the majority think so doesn't make something right.

Maybe not, but that's democracy.

Well,it's certainly not right at the moment.
My dear nephew,52 years old,married with 2 teenagers,has just been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour.Hopefully it can be removed,and was scheduled for today,
Its been put off until tomorrow,lack of beds.

Marmark I am very sorry to hear that and will gladly swear and cuss on your behalf. It is more than enough to summon up the courage and energy to be stoical and facing up to a terrifying brain operation without the added stress of having it postponed.
It is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH .
Fingers crossed for tomorrow. flowers
