With its military adventures, USA is creating misery across the world

The picture published by the Washington Post tells the story. While a few who already have too much get richer, misery is spreading across the world thanks to American military adventures. Bombs here and bombs overthere, tales about fake glory and servicemen that have had too much to bear and talk about taking their own lives.

USA the land of the free or USA the land of those who have been taken for a ride by those they chose to run their country? Has the world become a better place because of the USA? Not at present. With energy bills and food bills getting higher and higher, millions of families across the world are facing unbearable hardship because of US military adventures.

USA is not creating freedom. It is creating hunger, starvation and widespread death and such misery is increasingly felt inside the USA. 

What about a vaccine against unemployment?

There is no secret about the fact that more than 250,000 people lost their jobs in the United Kingdom since the start of the Covid-19 saga, but lets not forget that many companies like Debenhams and Arcadia were facing tough choices long before Covid-19 became item number one on the news. 

Hardly a single sector has been left untouched by the new realities. We have been bombarded with messages that have made vast segments of the British population extremely afraid. For the moment there is little hope of life being what it was before Covid-19. Britain is like a car running on an empty tank. Much needed social interaction is in very short supply and what before was normal can now be considered to be a criminal activity.

How anxious do you feel? How depressed do you feel? What makes you happy and makes feel that your life is worth living? Financial issues produce a huge impact on peoples' lives. Suddenly, your world becomes very small. You cannot do this and you cannot do that. When 'I can't afford it' becomes the norm rather than the exception, the words 'dead end' come to mind.

The rise of the numbers of people suffering from some kind of mental illness is one of the direct consequences of the Covid-19 saga. Lockdown measures are not good for the economy, but lets remember that our mental health and physical health are also being compromised.

 

 

Amber Rudd: Take Zero Hour Contract jobs or lose benefits?

Amber Rudd: Take Zero Hour Contract jobs or lose benefits?

She made a mess as Home Office Secretary and now she is making a mess in Social Security. One gaffe was not enough. Here comes another. 

In a country in which the number of people sleeping rough is rising, in which people are killing themselves because they don't have enough to live on, here comes Amber Rudd to tell them that 'they have to take Zero Hour Contract employment not to lose welfare payments'.

Brought back from the cold after taking a bullet that was meant for British Prime Minister Theresa May related to the Windrush Scandal because she didn't know what goes on in the Home Office, she was paid back by bringing her back into the Cabinet. Not enough time went by before there is yet another scandal.

Is Amber Rudd doing it on purpose? Why having such political liability inside the British government?
