I guess I have been the same as people throughout the world, watching USA with increasing horror. Watching a great country currently led by a madman pandering to his ego, and to the misguided people who trust him. If ever Trump’s true colours were to be shown, they were this week as he walked across … [Read more...]
In Conclusion 2 June 2020
I have lots and lots of friends in USA. I feel so sorry for their dreadful leadership right now. I know Trump reflects the hopes and desires of many people in his country, but his style is exactly what isn’t needed in USA, or the world, right now. He represents a nightmare scenario for politics. For … [Read more...]
In Conclusion 19 May 2020
Thank goodness we have a Prime Minister who took advice instead of rejecting it…The UK didn’t and look where they are at. I can’t have a Tuesday Club email without something about that idiot Trump. Doesn’t the Pope’s face reflect what most of us think? … [Read more...]
USA the land of the Free??
It’s easy to visit places like San Francisco and New York and revel at the pace, and the excitement, of life. It’s easy to throw a coin in a beggar’s bowl, and feel that you have done something small for that person’s life. It’s possible to walk past people on the streets and not realise how bloody … [Read more...]
American politics
I apologise for covering Trump again, but this guy is having a serious impact on the world, not just America. I feel so sorry for all of my American friends, even those who voted for the idiot. He isn’t just destabilizing USA he has the potential to destabilise the world. His behaviour is impacting … [Read more...]

Met by an early am birdsong. I opened your letter and read David’s poem. How fitting after a night … [Read more...]
Letter from America
Our annual visitor from USA, Mark Hostetler, and class are not coming this year: I received this note from Mark this week: Hello Garry. Unfortunately, because of the coronavirus pandemic, my University has cancelled the study abroad class and we will not be coming over this year. We are … [Read more...]
Trump Non-Leadership
About the opposite to leadership at the time of this international crisis is that of Donald Trump. If you haven’t seen this piece then do watch it. A journalist asked a patsy question which if he had answered it properly would have given the President a chance to look like a leader. Instead he was … [Read more...]
The world needs Trump out of office:
I read about USA every day. Why? Because the world needs America to be rid of the person who promised to “drain the swamp” but instead filled it with worse people instead. The rot, promoted by the current resident of the White House, needs to be purged. He has re-defined the swamp. I suspect … [Read more...]
Two days ago, General James Mattis replied to Trump’s criticism:
Not so long ago, President Trump (writing this description still seems it’s a joke, but it’s a nightmare) totally rubbished a man who served him loyally. Mattis’ problem was that he challenged Trump when he was Secretary of Defence, and that’s not on, according to the current President. Two days … [Read more...]
