Political Caption Competition

Hands up who is a tad annoyed with New Zealand for enabling the bombing of one of the poorest nations on earth for the rules based order but won’t hold Israel to the same standard?

  1. Don’t know the words but the feeling in my heart is that it is all the people on the Earth coming out in favour of letting all people have satisfactory lives; getting away from menacing and destructive wars enabled by sick and poisoned minds. Satisfactory! – can’t promise happy but with the basics and help with troubles, and the right to pursue personal goals within reasonable limits and a respected place in society for wages or in community work. A big ask when one looks at reality. But why not?

    1. Shanks pony used to be the saying! But is it going to be more like the walkers in the unemployed march on London from Jarrow in UK. Following on that theme…
      Around 200 men (or “Crusaders” as they preferred to be called) marched from Jarrow to London, carrying a petition to the British government requesting the re-establishment of industry in the town following the closure in 1934 of its main employer, Palmer’s shipyard.

      The Great Depression, which began in 1929, all but destroyed the shipbuilding industry, which would not rebound until the Second World War. …
      However, Palmers’ was unable to survive and collapsed by the end of the year [1933].. The company’s blast furnaces and steel works—which covered 37 acres—were put up for auction…
      In 1973, Vickers-Armstrongs, successor to Armstrong Whitworth, sold the Palmers Dock at Hebburn to Swan Hunter and developed it as the Hebburn Shipbuilding Dock…
      When the latter entered receivership in 2001, the dock was acquired by A&P Group.[18][19] The yard remains in use as a ship repair and refurbishment facility.

      Government is needed to control business interests and limit wars, and protect basic national assets (like shipyards and skilled tradesmen and women) and act for their fellow citizens’ good, so we people mass every now and then to remind PTB of this. But citizens need to be more regularly involved as thoughtful, informed, wise people and take more responsibility for our locality and country’s decisions and actions I think. (I’m trying to get informed and passing on and learning from others, as a start.)
