Wet weather ramblings

I have a book to complete. It is the book of my family from around 1900 up to? I do not know where to end it, by that I mean what year. It follows the lives of a poor family in the midlands of Britain and the heart ache, love, funny times and tragedies through two world wars and the hard peace in between. My problem is my own life and its part in this book. My life...........well...........a lot of it you could not write....no one would believe it. I often have to pinch myself to make sure I didnt dream it. Plus, and more to the point, I do not really want to go through a lot of it again. It was painful enough the first time.

So, where to finish this saga? It is so much easier to write about others than oneself and I do find it difficult.

In other news: I see Jeremy Corbyn is really putting the Blairites in the Labour movement into an extraordinary degrees of panic. The great and good of the party are literally crapping themselves in case a real socialist should become leader.. I love seeing all the hair gel and degree in modern politics, never had a job in their grotty little politically correct lives scared shit less in case they get kicked off the gravy train. Oh please let him win. The common poor bloody disposed working on the margins and living in some modern sink estate ghetto so need a hero. Ohh for a chance to take from the rich and give some to the poor..and kick over the money lenders tables. Rock on Mr Corbyn.

It seems Thailand may have had its 9/11. Terrorist atrocities now know no borders and tourists are sadly always rich pickings for them.. I have never understood how a human being with any kind of veneer of humanity can do such a thing as to wish to harm, cripple and kill totally innocent human beings who are totally unaware and going about their lawful daily affairs.It is beyond cowardice. How does it help their cause in any other way than to mark them as murderous gutless scum. I never understood it in Ireland when I served there. We forget that some of  those now in charge in Ireland condoned and perpetrated some terrible outrages. I well remember the aftermath of a bus shelter in Belfast and what high explosives can do to a group of normal people just waiting for a bus. When will it stop. Killing and crippling innocent civilians is no way to achieve anything and the people who do such things are beyond the pale and should be treated as such.
