Who objects to democracy? Not me.

I had a few options on this next blog, I did consider writing about how much I hate football and this World cup has been engrossing. I could have whinged and whined about too much sunlight and too much heat and how much I long for the olden days when we had rainy summers but the coming visit of the Donald to the UK has rattled my cage.

I have my politics and I am reasonably open about them but I try and keep my nose out of the controversial issues, so if you read this, read it all before hating me.

When Trump ran, I probably would've voted against him, given what was said in the UK press, but the more flak he took and the more I understood that his vote wasn't the upper and privileged classes of America, the more I kept my mouth shut, after all this was an election that wasn't my own, my opinion counts for nothing and if America votes for the Donald, it is their democratic right and who am I to say anything about that? Who objects to democracy? Not me.

When the election results came in, it was a shock to the World, including me but then we had had Brexit relatively shortly before, so not much of a shock. Like Brexit, the privileged few were in tears, they had no clue how any of this could have happened but no-one bothered to step out if their own bubbles and see what was happening in the respective Countries at large. Trump knew exactly what he was doing, he saw Brexit and he saw that it resonated from the bones of the UK, it wasn't a City wide thing, this was a call deep from the heart of the Country so he targeted the heart of America.

People like Sadiq Khan, someone that is meant to represent London, is getting involved in International politics, Trump has absolutely nothing to do with him, why is he so intent on using his platform to air his personal vendetta against Trump? The man should spend his time on knife crime but is strangely absent from our television sets, sending minions out to take the abuse for him...yet he finds time to argue with Donald Trump on twatter.
I am struggling to understand why people are taking to the streets to protest a democratically elected leader of what is meant to be one of our closest allies, his policies at home are nothing to do with us and yet they are trying to make hay out of policies that have zero affect on the UK. If this is humanitarian, where are the protests about the execution of the street children in Brazil or the 795 million people currently starving across the World?

Brexit supporters and Trump supporters are tarred as racists and bigots even though they are the majority. The press is generally biased and simply doubles down, digging faster and more furiously even though it is going the wrong way.
I used to watch the Last leg and I was a great fan of Adam Hills and his team, but comedic shows reflect a metropolitan society, they don't reflect the feeling and mood of British people. They are still harping on about Brexit and Trump. Surely we are at a time when the tears have to stop and these people that are still crying over a vote 2 years ago, when they need to pull together with the rest of us, to heal the divisions rather than feeding them.

Democracy is everything and respecting the will of the majority is what an election is all about, whether it is a referendum or a general election. The votes are cast and we all shut up and get on with our lives, whether we won or lost, the margins are not actually of any consideration, it is black or white, win or lose. We protest wars or policies that we object to but we seem to be living in an age where crying is rewarded rather than just embarrassing. Neymar, the Brazilian football player is a case in point, he spends so much time lying on the pitch that I wonder why he doesn't bring a pillow, and yet he is feted as one of the greatest football players in the world. He's a cry baby and needs to stop crying and put on his big boy pants and grow up. The same goes for all these people that are going to protest Trump, where were you when the Chinese visited or the Saudi Princes came over? Where are you when the troubling cases of FGM and child marriages hit the press? Why aren't you taking to the streets and social media in greater numbers, and protesting the things that directly affect us, our children and protest dictators and minority groups that encourage FGM and child brides?

As I said in an earlier post, I draw my world in around me and care about the things I can deal with. I have no interest in Trump but I do get sick of the irrelevancies that seem to take over people's lives, the lives of the people with the passion to change things but they canon around, directed by whatever media is fashionable and think that protesting democracy will change the World. Do you know what, it will change the World, it will make dictatorships, it is already shutting down free speech, it is already dictating what people are allowed to say and do. We are heading into minority rule and that is an horrific thought, all those wars over the millennia to put us in a place where we have a working democracy that does it's best for all of society and it is being trodden on and abused by the privileged few that think they know best, taking us back several hundred years to a time where a few made the rules for the majority.

I'll probably get hate for this post but I am beyond caring, what is happening frightens me and I wish that the youthful passion of the world changers would put it to a more focused and better use, to benefit all rather than their blinkered view on what they think we all want...the various elections and referendums have already decided that...
