I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

May day
It is May and Therasa May, our Prime Minister has announced that she will step down as Prime Minister (President) of the UK.
She is the first PM that was at the helm when my son was born.
I think that being the PM in the UK at this time in history is very difficult. Some hard decisions need to be made. The PM was surrounded by people that were very disrespectful. This is something I understand well because I went to high school and was surrounded by people that had no respect for me for over five years. One of the hardest states of mind in this world is knowing that over 250 people don't want to be your friend and that they have no respect for you. All they have for you is many insults. People like me should never go to school, we are much better at learning on our own. For me school was a terrible experience. When I left school, I left with no friends and many bad memories. This didn't effect me much at first because I was very busy learning and working but later in life, when things slowed down a bit, all those horrible feelings came to the surface and for ten years I felt depressed. To overcome this problem I got in touch with my creative side.
I drew pictures and made models out of card and even wrote a book and published it. My hopes are that I will enter the 20s decade a happy successful family man with no mental baggage from my past. I don't want to carry a grudge against anyone. I just want to sail to placid waters in this boat I call my body until my days on this world come to an end. I have committed myself to learning at least one new thing every day and and creating one new thing every day, even if that this is just an entry in my blog.
Happy days are the days I wait for with gratitude.

Irish back stock
The UK prime minister, Theresa May has made a British exit (Brexit) deal with the EU but the house of commons don't like the deal. The main reason they don't like the deal is because Northern island would be treated like a separate country from the UK. They would have checks made on their products before they enter the British Island.
Let me explain the problem the EU faces. Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are two separate countries. When the UK splits away from the EU, the Republic of Ireland will remain in the EU and Northern Ireland will remain part of the UK. If goods are free to move from UK to the republic of Ireland without paying a tariff then the UK could do a trade deal with a country outside the EU and send goods that are not taxed into the rest of the EU through the republic of Ireland. For example, we could remove the tariff on Oranges from Dominica and then send them to the republic of Ireland and then the Republic of Ireland could send the oranges to Germany. This would mean that Oranges are entering the EU without being taxed.
The Irish in the North and South wanted to keep a soft border because people own assets and trade on both sides of the border. I think the best way out of this is to leave without a deal and pay the tariffs, I recall that the deal involved a £39 billion exit fee. Use the exit fee to reimburse businesses that are taxed for their exports. Isn't that a more straight forward way to solve the problem.
My son is due to be born and like his father is spending his time as a fetus in a country that is consumed by chaos and uncertainty. For me it was the Falklands war, for him it is Brexit.
