Is this country going to the dogs?

A report in the Guardian just now about a 68 year old man, walking with his dog had an unknown liquid squirted into his eyes. Both have been treated for burns. The man who squirted jumped into a car and was driven away.

Every time I look at a paper or see the news attacks on people are being reported. The number seems to be increasing. I'm not including murders and rapes in this although they are increasing too.

I actually felt that King Charles' speech in Berlin the other day was proof enough that our country isn't going to the dogs. If we can achieve reconciliation with a nation that was once the enemy, if we can forgive, and if we can now show unity, working together for peace in Ukraine, then our moral standards renain largely still intact. I think that, in the bigger picture, things are set to improve.

I can assure you that not all European rentals are excellent. Mold growing inside flat, landlady said it was the fault of my family not opening the windows. The Independant surveyor put it down to the poor building works.

You know, Joseanne, that was a significant factor in why I voted to remain in the EC in 1975.

It's a shame that it seems to have taken the UK a few more decades to catch up...
