Interesting, H.

Meanwhile down south we are having another heat wave. Predicted to reach 39.

Rare sighting of caracal on Lion's Head, Cape Town.

There was a time when I was so upset about this that I became a keyboard activist. If I'd been in Britain I would almost certainly have been more than that. But, like so many others, I had to give up. The reason finally sank in. You can't flog a dead horse and you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. We wouldn't have these sayings unless our ancestors had already been there, done that and bought the t-shirt factory.

I am sorry for the large minority who are going to get shafted, but unless this miraculously turns into a large majority, things will go downhill. Britain will become another sad little Euro socialist state. It will lose its brains to China and Asia in general as there are requests from this region now for skilled immigrants so the new economic force can become a reality in more ways than one. History is repeating itself. Once they went to America, now they will have to go to Asia. And still the craziness that grips them now will be there, forcing the British further away from their ancestral achievements, and most importantly, from their identity. Rome became a ruin. They know it but they don't act on it. In fact many of them think this is good, to be nothing is good, to try to erode yourself away is somehow holy.

It's a new secular religion, as deadly as its predecessor.

I agree with all that. My English grandfather left in 1900 and he told my father "England is finished" after WWI. He shared this view with many others and he was a very patriotic man. I think Europe is tired, exhausted even, and hasn't had any good ideas about reviving itself. Too busy being an international social worker.

Don't worry, folks, if you get a second referendum you will be back in the EU.

Shows how insignificant they really are, I didn't even know.

This makes me wonder why they do it.

I just know about the shop incident. There are so many of these stupid things now that no one takes any notice. Julius is struggling to get attention, as usual, and the ANC is burbling down the drain. The rest of the country is barbecuing.

A good question.

If you happen to find any links about his serious meetings LW, I'd be interested.

BBC - A glimpse of a different Trump in action

Yesterday, when Mr V was in a shopping mall buying stuff for his trip to China, Julius Malema and his outfit came into the centre and entered a shop and trashed the place. Apparently they were protesting against a shop selling shirts with images of monkeys on them. The police were called and the centre went into lock down.

The blacks working there were apparently spitting mad with Julius. Mr V said you could see that they detested him. One said he is making Africans look idiotic. Good sign. Fix this by voting Democratic Alliance in 2019.

Cornish pasties as well. (I used to use a British flag with fish and chips on it as an avatar in my more volcanic days but the powers that be got miffed with this.)

True, Ron. It's very sad and I am always going to be there in spirit for those who get shafted by what has come to pass.

Do you think that the British have lost their mojo, Rob? I didn't want to think this as they are my people and so for a long time I fought like a caged tiger in support of their independence. I just didn't want to acknowledge what had happened to them. I believed they were strong and clever and brave and wanted to be free and continue to be strong, clever and brave.

I have to admit that as the years went by and I got beaten to death on the net for supporting them, incessantly called a racist by some and a liberal by others and insulted sexually, personally and in every other way by people purporting to love the folk and the nation, and called a "foreigner" and a spy, a nutter and and a whore into the bargain, I did begin to wonder if they had lost their marbles along the way of too many devastating wars and a lot of socialist indoctrination.

So, have my people lost their mojo?

Reminds me of Facebook's similar habit of asking you if you want to let FB access your stuff after you do a quizz or some such because they won't give you the results before you do.

He has a maverick aspect which I think he saves for his twitter account. I have read things that describe his serious meetings as different from this, where he gets serious. Maybe he has a voice for the swamp and a voice for the people.

For my part, I don't stigmatise anyone addicted to anything. It should be defused as something to judge folk by and on and treated as the disorder that it is. And that goes for the battered souls who become the victims of addiction.

Trump at his best. He has the diplomacy of a tyrannosaurus rex at a garden party.

Is he doing a Trump? I see a new word entering the dictionary of contemporary definitions: "Trumpian".

No.

I support the Democratic Alliance, though. I'm not politically oriented. I will appreciate any party that governs fairly and whose economic policies are beneficial to the people and not to any other aspect of self-aggrandizement of politicians as a separate elite class.

Even if the ANC win the election, SA isn't a one party state. The DA is big and growing and we have 13 parties represented in the National Assembly.

Ethnicity actually has little to do with things these days, H. It's a question of old guard and po-faced cadres of the struggle who refuse to admit that the emperor is naked and the ANC is corrupt and the new generation who are utterly fed up with being seen as backward, underprivileged and incapable. They desperately need to break that image and the DA is the best route. All anyone needs do is give the DA a chance and Mmusi Maimane a chance as leader and vote them in. They can always vote them out if they don't perform.

We have been cooler but are heading back to heatsoak, I think.

Sorry about your Mum.

But here's to the future of the forum.

...

Democratic Alliance launches forum and is going for the elections in 2019 with a lot of hope.

DA Forum launch

Fantastic rain yesterday afternoon late. Came down in sheets blown by the wind. Desiccated world breathing a sigh of relief. Heavy cloud cover this morning.

Have to be reprogrammed. "Do not get overexcited doing your duty."

Now when you lose your baggage you just have to hold out your arms and say, "Come to me my precious little polka dot bikini, supertight stretch jeans and waterproof mascara" and your luggage will romp to your side.

Imagine the airport chaos as every loyal suitcase races home to Mama.
