And I hope HIP will make a difference - we're certainly garnering a lot of support...and I still believe ( we disagree) that the establishment can be shifted. I do.

That Twitter troll! I hop...Ok I shall work upwards. That Twitter troll! I hope you told him where he can place his opinion of your blog. We all love your blog posts.<br /><br />Moving on up, don't talk to me about husbands. Mine pegged out the washing the other day. Yes I know I should be grateful but ... I put on my clean nightie last and looked in the mirror. Two stretched out peaks of material stood proud on each shoulder. I've told him so many times about pegging stretchy materials but will he listen?<br /><br />I'm going to skip over the tattoo. I can't even bear to think about the pain or discomfort or whatever it feels like. *shrugs*<br /><br />And so to politics - for many years I was involved in local politics. I really thought that people could be voted onto councils/parliament to make a difference. I now realise that it's never going to happen. Even if the newly elected try to be fresh and enthusiastic, the old guard/civil service soon knock that enthusiasm out of them. It's a game. The establishment run our country and we're not one of them.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-48268041250933990382014-06-14T05:11:21.955-07:002014-06-14T05:11:21.955-07:00Love this.
