A View from the Crow's Nest

a still from Steven Spielberg's 1975 film 'Jaws'

Ahoy shipmates! Day one of electioneering and I think St Theresa of the Roses might just have shot herself in the foot. I can see Corbyn reducing her majority by June 8th and I mean Corbyn, not the Labour Party, not Welsh Labour. His honesty and integrity will have whittled away this right wing, Brexit bullshit. May's heart isn't in it anyway and I think she could come out of this looking rather foolish. 

My hunch is that Jeremy Corbyn could do a Clement Attlee and overturn this Brexit embittered and embattled Britain. A Socialist government under Corbyn could do more for the island's Mental Health than Harry and William putting their heads together because social inequality and poverty cause mental distress. We have been oppressed under this Conservative, UKIP hate mongering for so long we have forgotten what compassion and community are all about. Remember that it was Attlee's Government who introduced the National Health Service and the Welfare State. Those who read this blog are probably of a similar mindset. After Trump and Erdogan and the rise of the Far Right I don't know how anybody can defend Capitalism which when it decays turns into Fascism which we are seeing now across the world.
