I will probably will incur a major amount of wrath. But in relation to the Brexit.....and President Obama.....in case we forget that the US is a UNION and if that fractured along state lines, all who like to run their own affairs imagine if one of the states wanted to leave the Union!.....oh yes don't forget they have a Supreme court to which cases can be taken......that is why its called the State of the Union that President gives. Oh yes that Union came after a war. Oh and the President gets a hard time in the Congress and the Senate....some times even over budget issues.........so make of that what you will. I am still not sure yet...We are no longer Imperialist we have a Commonwealth but that could in time crash. 

I sit on the undecided fence.

Europe or not

So Jeremy Corbyn says stay in.....still not sure, not a UKIP supporter at all.   Ok to a common market and friendly relations but not to letting others decide our laws but there have been some positives on the rights and many in this country have benefited. I am worried for other things....but but but.   The pay for the CEO of BP is over the top - no justification.  I support the junior doctors who deserve better hours and pay......to encourage doctors to stay, staff appropriately.   I stand for the rights of women and beg that the school children stolen across Africa and elsewhere ...... get them back NOW.....I pray for their souls and consider that children should neither be soldiers or nor sexually abused.

MIX AND MATCH

Ok here I  go......a bit of a Sunday rant come interested in things.

Fashion, not sure I like this bizarre 2016 look of the straight off the shoulder dress with straps....on please so NOT smart.    Some people like me don't have shoulders......nor hips and a flat bottom...for that matter so simply does not work.  Liked some of the looks mentioned By Francesca Mullin in The Times magazine 09/04/2016 Shop....p56-57.  Love the black and white large spot dress from Hobbs...jazz up with jackets or cardigan (colour match of clash) and really nice shoes works in my view for business or that special event but you can 'dress' it as a look. I note with interest that some dresses I saved from about 3 years ago are back in style.  I like stripes but not all work, like the Aquascutum and the Iris and Ink......examples but not the price....look around. I also like the dress from Coast with counter-wise stripes.   I hunt around second hand shops, found a similar dress to the Aquascutum one shown in such a shop.....£5.99 and boy does it work....oh and lace is back so out come my lace.....


Now for Mr Cameron, I wonder why do we have Tax Havens? do they work like ISA'a? I have been a tax payer all my life from age 15. If I am lucky to have some spare cash I put them in premium bonds and ISA's.  I have just checked my pension statement prediction ..... I will get my state pension when I am 66 should I live that long given I paid in for it will my relatives get back my contributions....No I don't think so. I have 40 years of full contributions....I have also an occupational pension which I paid 11% of my monthly salary ..... should I live, then my occupational pension will be reduced.....Why?????? I paid for both.   I pay tax on my occupational pension.  I fully understand welfare issues of others BUT I have paid my dues.

European Referendum, when I was young I voted no to joining the European Common Market...what to do now...my gut is to vote Leave but but but....I am not a UKIP type voter.   What I beg is that people VOTE it is so important.....I am thinking it through - example not happy with open borders or so much of our cash going into an unaccountable organisation.......however would like to see the sharing of information about criminals and terrorists....again who is a terrorist?  

Sad for India again, following a collapse of a flyover last month and last night a Firework display going wrong...after the denial of permission to hold it on safety grounds.....

Me dressed age 15 playing Mrs Serephita Lunn in a Shaw play.

Me last year.

NOT GONE

In case you wonder....I remain on the planet.....enjoying life....more to write later. Hugs world.
What a world........In Britain we are destroying our industry....step in and save Port Talbot....steel works.  We need to be self sufficient.

Nuclear ..... is the way to destroy all of us.....
We are destroying the planet....does not clash with need to have a viable industry carefully managed.

There is a specter of a Trump president in America....thus pushing us to the precipice.   Add in North Korea....Hell on earth.  

Afraid for my grandchildren.
