A few major issues





Today I would like to discuss a few things. Firstly, the lack of coverage of the uprising in Turkey, where protesters are being blatantly and violent abused by the regime there: BBC report

It is shocking that this isn't all over the news, like the Arab Spring Rising was a few years ago, and Syria continues to be. This rising has now breached Europe and the totalitaran state that Turkey has become. They very recently hurried through laws allowing for forgein oil exploration within their borders to appease the likes of the US and now it seems that they can do as they please!! My sympathy goes to the people of Turkey.

As it is Wednesday, it is Prime Minister Questions, although frankly I don't know why its called that because he 'answers' every question with one of his own, unskillfully avoiding the arguments. I really do disair at the behaviour of these childish Etonians. It galls me that these boys are our 'leaders'. Cameron still seems oblivious to the fact that it takes years of training for a doctor and a nurse and takes all the credit for the increase in the numbers of both - when this was cleary implemented by the last govt.

As to Scotland, I am coming to the realisation that we really are better off away from the UK. England (in the majority) seems to want to leave the EU - not realising how less well off they will be. Most of our exports go to the EU and that would fall dramatically if we were no longer a part of the community. Given the results of the last election (where almost no one in Scotland voted Conservative (1 seat) but we got the Tory govt anyway)it is clear that regardless of how Scotland votes, it will be England's decision (they have 10 x the population we have).

Add to that the fact that the Tories are doing everything they possibly can to ruin and sell off the NHS, plus they want to put £150 million into a new trident project, I think it is necessary for the people of Scotland to vote YES in 2014. No matter what we vote as a nation in the UK elections and referndums, we are voiceless in the sheer mass that is south of the border and are dragged along however they please. I do not think this is a democratic society and I do not want it any more. I have many dear friends south of the border and I love them a great deal. I simply do not want to be dictated to by Westminster any longer, not when it is doing such a horrific job!

I do not think money will be an issue - we have so many resources and I think, if the Crown etc wish to maintain the oil drilling, we will manage to keep the £. We will be able to maintain our own NHS far better than Westminster ever could and we will remain in Europe, which is essential in the 21st century. I think the naesayers are scared, and that's their right but I do not want to be connected to a country that votes against everything we vote for. That is not democracy, it is autocracy!


On another note, I have written a bit of a sexy witchy/werewolfy/vampirey book (not erocita, but sexy). If you like Charlaine Harris, Carrie Vaughn, Patricia Briggs, hopefully you'll like this. It is available on kindle and now in paperback.
