A Leap of Faith.

Sunday morning once again. Opera plays, my book is beside me and I have a rib of beef to cook for my lunch. 

I'm not sure why I haven't posted for a while. There's certainly been a lot going on. Last week I took a leap of faith and began my phased return to work. A mixed experience to be honest but I stuck to it.

The wider world seems also to be taking a leap of faith into right wing politics. And that it seems includes assassination. I must admit I'd never heard of Charlie Kirk. From what I have heard I'm not sure I would have liked his views. But to be shot is not an answer. 

In my country there are St George's flags everywhere and a huge rally took place last weekend. Reports conflict wildly on how many were there and what the atmosphere was like. Having once got caught up in an EDL march the potential is there for risk.

From a democratic perspective the lurch to the right is obvious. Sadly the last time a surge to the right happened in Europe carnage and genocide ensued.

That genocide is abroad once again is terrifying. A friend said recently "I'm not on anyone's side I just wish people would stop killing each other".

The world scares me in ways I've not experienced before. We must take care.
