A THOUGHT FOR NOW - IS THE 'BREXIT VICTORY' ABOUT TO BECOME A PYRRHIC ONE FOR BRITAIN? THE END.

Image
There clearly is a big risk that, not only will Britain not achieve much of the economic benefits its latter day government is professing that it will achieve, but she and her people are likely to have to pay a very heavy price for the folly of cutting the country adrift. It is, indeed, not by chance that the British Government of David Cameron did not want the United Kingdom to divorce the EU, knowing well that it would not be in the country's best interests. Irrespective of the fact that Theresa May's administration has now seen it as being expedient to argue the opposite case. David Cameron's Government wanted to use the EU referendum as a subterfuge to place pressure on the EU, in order to get a better outcome in its negotiations for more favourable reform terms for Britain. But it did not expect that it would lose the Referendum and had its bluff called. Thus this terrible dilemma which the country is now in, and which its decision to leave the EU is causing

ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX - NICO ROSBERG, WORLD CHAMPION! HAMILTON REGRESSED!

Image
Many congratulations to Nico Rosberg, for having won the Formula 1 World Championship, as everybody, including the gods, should have known he would have won, except said gods were to intervene to obstruct his progress. How ironic it was, therefore, that, if the gods had actually intervened, or attempted to intervene, negatively, it might have been in their futile and inane attempts to use none other than Lewis Hamilton, the winner of the race, to do so. In going into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton knew that he could win the race, but not the World Championship, as all his team mate, Nico Rosberg had to do, is to earn himself a place on the Podium; any place, be it P1, P2 or P3. Being the consistent, reliable and competitive racer Nico has been throughout the 2016 season, there was no or little doubt that he was going to place himself on the Podium. Not to expect him to do so would be a sign of living with the fairies or believing, truly, in the gods and miracles.

A THOUGHT FOR NOW - JAMAICA, WHOO. STILL AN ADOLESCENT NATION AFTER 54 YEARS? THE END.

Image
In short, Jamaica and Jamaicans have been exposed to and nurtured in somewhat similar conditions to the slaveocratic societies of the South American countries, which have been and continue to be beset by endemic violence and socio-political and economic oppression of the havesnot by the haves. And so is it a case of Whooi, Jamaica, what have become of you that you should sink so low, when, after 54 years of independence from Britain, your former slave and colonial master, you should have been standing tall and proud. You should be saying, look at me now, I am a nation which has been independent for half a century, and I am now a state with a government and people of whom I and you can be proud of the society we, who are 'out of many people, but have now been evolved into one', are building? Instead, like its role model and mentor, the United States, Jamaica has, it would appear, become manifestly corrupt, with this corruption affecting the government, the police, the eco

Captured Delight!

And so it is, that you might have seen a video just like this one, and, indeed, you might well have done. However, there is a certain routinisation of living, however much we try to vary it, and, like the food and drinks we have daily, the repetitiveness does not normally stops us from enjoying them. Please take look and see whether you might find something new or similar, which accords you some enjoyment.

FIDEL CASTRO MUERTO - ¡EL MÁS GRANDE LÍDER LEGENDARIO DE LAS AMÉRICAS! ADIOS COMPADRE! (FIDEL CASTRO DEAD - GREATEST LEGENDARY LEADER OF THE AMERICAS! ADIOS COMPADRE)! P.1

Image
A moon which has been lighting the path of the Cuban people have been removed, but their is the prospect of even brighter moons replacing him. Fidel, you have done your bit, and for that, we thank you! Fidel Castro, the former President of Cuba, one of the larger islands in the West Indies, is dead! Long Live Fidel Castro! Cuba is an island with probably less than 12 million people, but, somewhat like its neighbour to the south, Jamaica, but only more so, Cuba has, amongst progressive countries and people, a great reputation, and is seen as more enlightened than its enormous neighbour to the north, the United Sates. Fidel Castro is a legendary leader, having defeated the corrupt American-backed Batistas to gain power, and subsequently defeating several American attempts to overthrown him. Of course, Cubans have been called upon to make great sacrifices during Fidel's revolutionary rule. Hundreds of Cubans have died and been injured in Cuba's intervention in dif

ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX - HAMILTON ON POLE, AND MERCEDES TEAM STAYING CONSISTENT!

Image
Lewis Hamilton has done it again, having taken Pole position at the Abu Dhabi Qualifying on Saturday, with his team mate, Nico Rosberg, on P2 and the vivacious Daniel Ricciardo taking P3 position. All of which goes to demonstrate that the Mercedes team, workers, drivers and cars, are continuing to work in union to deliver the desired results consistently. Lewis Hamilton has driven masterfully to pip his team mate for Pole by about 3 tenths of a second, having been the fastest driver in Practice 1 and 2. And so, as we now move onto Sunday for the final race of the 2016 Formula 1 season, to see what is to be the outcome of the deliberations of the gods, in determining whether it is to be Rosberg or Hamilton who is declared the World Champion, all is finely balanced. If Lewis and Rosberg are on the podium after the race on Sunday, it will have meant that Nico Rosberg is the 2016 Formula 1 World Champion! Truth to tell, with the high level of consistent and reliably perfo
