A THOUGHT FOR NOW - DID THE FORMER BRITISH PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED FROM PARTY POLITICS BECAUSE OF PRINCIPLE OR EXPEDIENCY?

-

By resigning from politics after the debacle of Libya and Brexit, is David Cameron continuing a new trend of the West's 'cut and run' foreign policy of Blair and Bush?

 So, consider this: Why did David Cameron, the former Conservative Prime Minister of Britain, suddenly gave in his notice and left his job, after a small majority of the British electorate voted for the country to leave the European Union?

And why did he subsequently decided to resigned from official politics, as his replacement, Theresa May, began to assert her authority by making it clear that the British ship of state is now under a new captian?

In the case of the first question, a credible response would be that he Mr Cameron acted out of principle and political pragmatism. That, having promised the British electorate that there would be a referendum on whether or not the U.K. remain in the European Union, and then ardently campaigned for the United Kingdom to stay in it, and dramatically losing the referendum to the Brexiteers. Mr Cameron concluded that he could not credibly remained the Prime Minister and the executioner of the 'will of the British electorate.'  Thus could his decision to resign be seen as a reasonable and prudent one.

David Cameron might be thinking, 'aah, the relief of not having to clean up or be held accountable for the monumental disasters I have engineered in Libya and Europe.'

But what about his subsequent decision to leave politics, or, more precisely, to cease to remain a Member of the British Parliament?  What could have precipitated such a decision, only a matter of days before the British Foreign Affairs Committee release a report blaming the former Prime Minister for the catastrophe which has befallen Libya and the Libyan people, following the British, European and American and Arab invasion of that country to violently depose the former regime?

Was the reason for Mr Cameron's resignation from party politics simply the result of him now wanting to live a quiet and peaceful family life - something which his Blairite foreign policy had so destructively deprived the Libyans of - and leave others to try to clean up the destruction?

Or was it that Mr Cameron really was motivated by the unlikely desire of wanting to spare the current Conservative Prime Minister any awkwardness from having to be looking over her shoulder at him, as she goes about shredding his policies and replacing them with her own

To be continued.
From causing great damage to the world to not having a care in the world, David Cameron might have said of himself.

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

CONTEMPLATIVE MOODS - IF LIFE IS A B..... THEN CHECK OUT SOME CLASSICAL MUSIC BEFORE YOU DIE!

So, if life were a bitch and then we die, need we say or do or think anymore of the matter? If life were a bitch and then we die, might we not surmise that it be our duty to screw life before we die, that we might gain some small pleasure, some small satisfaction from our life the life we live, before we die? But of course, some of us might as some point, consider that it is life which screws the living and not the living who does the screwing. And, in the knowledge that the term screwing can have an ambivalent meaning, in that it can mean participating in an event from which we derive pleasure, as well as being used as a pejorative term of abuse.  So it is that life and living can be both pleasurable and miserable to us who are required to endure it. To live it, to savour it. And so it is that I wish to comment on the beauty of music, with which we can fill many moments of our lives and our living with. Music, said the song, is the food of love. Yet, we need not
