Andy Takes The Helm

On Monday the 20th of July, a day after the world cup finished, Andy Burnham became the new prime minister : leader of the United Kingdom. 

I don't know what he will do at this stage but he seems adamant that he will end homelessness and kick start more industrialization. Whatever he wants to do, he needs to be very quick because the labour party term has already been run down to 3 years and they start canvassing for voters 6 months before the term finishes. He only really has 2 and a half years to prove his metal. Even if he has good metal and does all the right things, he may be voted out because it takes time for the results to surface and they only have half a term. 

We went through 7 prime ministers in the last 10 years but it's not as bad as it looks. The two lady prime ministers resigned because they made decisions that got them in a dead-lock. Theresa May cut an EU exit deal that the cabinet rejected 3 times, Liz Truss took some risks with low taxes and forced the central bank to print money. David Cameron resigned because he had no Brexit plan, he didn't expect that outcome. Borris Johnson did the hokey pokey during the pandemic we got herd immunity  and lockdown at the same time. Rishi Sunak was in Andy's shoes, the clock was run down and people were fed up with his party. Keir Starmer got his cabinet ministers into a tight squeeze and scared off all the rich people. 

Good luck Andy. 

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.

Amazon prime on Roku

I am so happy and grateful for internet TV because it can be paused and watched when the time is more convenient. I'm also grateful for self improvement TV shows that are also present on demand because they lift me up and change my attitude.

Today Amazon prime instant video came onto the UK Roku. I was forced to watch Amazon prime on other devices before today. Now I can watch it on the same device I use for other internet TV software

Roku is the same as Now TV box, they are literally the same hardware device but the Now TV box  blocks many channels such as Netflix.
