Brexit Briefing: Unwise Decisions.

-






In his 'quiet' voice Sir John Major tells a chilling message, one which we ignore at our peril.

We tend to think of 'terrorists' these days as being the Islamic Extremists.

History is young however. For the uninformed I suggest Googling The Hyde Park and Regent's Park bombings which occurred on 20 July 1982.
Dead bodies and dead horses lay motionless in the golden streets of London. The blood was on the hands of the IRA.

No-one thought there would be an end to the violence or the disruption or the terror and inconvenience of that period.

Yet, following years and years of bitterness, hurt and contempt we now have an albeit fragile peace process. 

In some sectors The Good Friday Agreement is being hailed as a talisman for a peace process to be discussed with IS.

Yet this fragile peace is in jeopardy as our megalomaniac PM, the one with NO majority in the House is prepared to put peace into pieces in order to ensure an exit from the EU  on a majority referendum vote from the people of 4%.

In order to gain a majority for her unwise Brexit plans Mrs May is prepared to enter a coalition with the DUP  thus contravening the Good Friday Agreement.

Utter, complete, irresponsible, unforgivable, dangerous madness.

Brexit Briefing: Florence.

artycelia   I am quite dreading the speech in Florence on Friday. I hope Boris is gagged and chained while Mrs May spouts another load of silly meaningless slogans and soundbites. ' We will survive and thrive following our departure from the European Union ' 'We will continue to have a close relationship with our European neighbours.' ' We will be enjoying new trade deals outside of the EU ' 'We are stuffed, can we call the whole thing off?' Boris wriggling out of his chains yelling, 'bus, BUS, what about the BUS? ' Ho hum. I am sure the EU are shaking in their shoes. What an embarrassing mess we have gotten ourselves into.

This is a painting of, erm, the cancerous tumour that I found in my breast in 2021. It's gone now. I felt much better after the painting was completed, sort of serene. Despite the brutal treatment that is chemotherapy, I have depicted the cancer as drifting away, parts of you do drift away while going through treatment, and some parts return while others do not. That's how I feel anyway. I moved house last year. My rented house was too big with just me in it. It was fine when occupied with my daughters, a grand-daughter, a grand-daughter's dad and my lovely dog, but people grow and need to move on. My dog reached the end of his road. The day I lost him was the saddest day of my life. I know I probably shouldn't say that but he was deep in my heart and I loved him unconditionally. I won't ever get another dog, that 'going to sleep' business is a train wreck, one that you are watching and also feel responsible for, even though you are not. I am now living with...

Gallery Today: Gaza

  The first painting is my interpretation of a Miro. The second painting is my interpretation of the war in Gaza, based on a painting by Fernand Leger c 1927. It's maybe easier to put one's thoughts into a painting, in this one, the flag of Israel bleeds into Palestine, land is stolen, territory is taken, people are annihilated. I find it horribly, well horrible, that Netanayu seems to be following in the footsteps of the very person who set out to destroy his people. I just cannot understand how the world can step aside and allow this genocide. Sometimes I just feel the need to paint a picture.
