NEVER has this warning been more prescient in recent times as our civil liberties are continually eroded in the UK and US by over zealous governments who pretend to be acting on behalf of he people while preserving their own agendas:
Benjamin Franklin warned that “those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors.
I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things..
Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I?
Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished.
I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything.
Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work.

It’s a sobering thought when you realise that no-one is actually acting on your behalf, it’s a notion that we all believe in to one extent or another I think, but it is as transient and as vague as smoke.
Thank you for stopping by my blog by the way and following, deeply appreciated!
Enjoy your week!

Very well said. What we know and what we think we know is never the same when the truth is so often insulated by a cover of bullshit by many different parties.

Absolutely right, bullshit being the operative word here.
