Highveld - re your 22:43 - 'Struggling with the positives at the moment. Putin has turned the clock back 70 years and here at home we have a disastrously dysfunctional set-up ( you can't take a country that elects Rees-Mogg and has an heir to the throne who runs his Aston Martin on wine and cheese seriously). Whole place only hanging together because of unsung NHS heroes, some quality universities , great scientists and innovators , superb intellectual heritage, great arts scene and everyday folk plodding on.'
Not quite right! Try this :-
Some of the positives at the moment. While dysfunctional Putin tries to turn the clock back 70 years, we in the UK have a functional and modern setup. We enjoy a democratic system that allows us to elect Jacob Rees-Mogg on the one hand and Jeremy Corbyn or Diane Abbott on the other. We have an off the planet heir to the throne who's nod to the silly green agenda is to run his Aston Martin on wine and cheese whilst our reigning Monarch, who has impeccably served her country and it's people for 70 years is much admired and envied throughout most of the civilised world. Meanwhile, the country benefits greatly from unsung NHS heroes, some quality universities , great scientists and innovators , superb intellectual heritage, great arts scene etc, etc, and of course, everyday folk plodding on despite the many brickbats thrown at them by envious do-no-gooders, who try to deny any of the benefits which this country and it's people have given the world. Not that the world has been gracious enough to thank them for! (Think - 'what have the Romans done for us?')
