Right, what have I been up to today?, well I have done a job to Nottingham, the weather was very cold, but I had a walk along the Trent Embankment, as always my camera accompanied me. Well I got some pictures of my employers coaches, plus, a rather posh addition to the Sharpes fleet turned up, which had been brought along, after being picked up from the spray shop.
I still have a buring ambition, and it is rather getting to me now, we all get that feeling from time to time. and it can be exciting and frustrating, as the vision and ambition is there, but the means usually not.
I told you about my orignal dream, how I intended to set up in business, maybe now is not the right time with the economy being the way it is, interest rates are set to rise again, so we will all have to sacrifice more earthly pleasures, in the name of feed, clothing ourselves and keep a roof over our heads. I have just been watching the latest of the C Veitch videos, well it was more of a rant, and I found it interesting.
Some one who I know said the other day that I had millitant views, when it came to politics, the fact of the matter is I have seen quite alot of things other the years. The images I saw aged seven everynight on the tv of the striking miners fighting against the police. Now whether you agree with the miners striking to fight for the rights, or Thatcher rounding up the police and sending them in like stormtroopers doesnt not really matter. Fact of the matter is it was not just the miners affected, whole communities were shut down as the economy of the towns and villages ground to a halt. Times were not good. This is just one example. I suppose the reason I hold politicians with contempt is down to the age old thing of people want power and when they get it they will do what it takes to keep it. I also hold the Royal family with the same contempt, I was born a free man and not a subject.
Now several hundread years ago, I would have been put to death for having those thoughts, but why should I swear alligence to someone, whos family came over to this country about a thousand years ago and took it by force, and as far as the royal wedding is concerned it is just an extra day in the pub, or if there is work I might take it so I dont have to sit in and watch it.
The fact of the matter is, if someone came in to power to run the country, and they did it for the interest of the people who voted them in through a democratic process, then they will have my support. I am anti establishment to a degree, but not in an Anachistic way, no I like change for the better, to improve things. If things didnt change we would still be believing that the Earth was flat, and lets look at it this way, Some of the religious prophets were anti establishment, Jesus went against the wishes of the elders, to the point that they saw him as a danger and had him executed. Moses was the same, although reading the story, I dont really seem Moses as a particularly nice man, but I am not saying anymore, because I dont wont to get in to a row over religion. I tolerate most peoples beliefs, we all need to live together.
So on those thoughts TTFN
