All my life until recently I have thought of myself as an optimist, but now I look at the mess being generated by the best protected, best educated generations in history I find myself turning to pessimism. Whist the road has not often been smooth and politics has thrown up people like Wilson, Heath and Blair (to mention a few that got to the top that should have been drowned at birth), times have been such that I could look forward to a better country in a better world. But now the next generation is in charge and looking at the woke generation to follow, I cannot see any future for this country at all. When I see elected politicians bought to their knees over whether the PM was given a slice of cake on his birthday when next week we could be in WW3, I despair.
