The Why I Hate England and Book Burning Literary Festival

  Tired of predicting the future?  Tired of complaining about the present?  Tired of Re - membering the past. Tired of preaching to the converted. Tired off getting knocked down.  Tired of getting back up again?       Oh Danny-Boy ... Take a lager drink, take a cider drink ... my next door neighbour. Now sit back and enjoy,  I am going to tell you a tale. It is  about the four Saxons . Mama Saxon and the three kids; Anhalt, Nieder (not to be confused with their cousin Nieder land) and Anglo and it is called: Re - Member. After sirering the three kids, their father Franken divorced Saxon and went on to get a life which he called France. Mama had trouble early on raising her children alone and soon they had abandoned her and also got on with thier own lives . Anglo was radically rebellious and wanted nothing to do with his family. He went so far and made up new words and, new ways to measure things.  It seems he just did the oppo...

Dante would have certainly included this inferno into one of his circles … a reality show that cannot be turned off and where several of the characters have torrents syndrome and frequently and randomly shout out. „Brexit … Brexit!“ Three years ago when this fiasco started, I jokingly addressed my letters to Carol with ‚Little England‘. In the meantime, Carol has almost lost her arm, her leg and a little finger.  Dave the dog, almost lost his leg and Britain is about to throw the baby out with the bath water.

It has gotten bad.  Million of inhabitants in four countries of the U.K. are suffering from traumatic s...

  Carol Downie Nottingham Manor Plumpton, Little England Is this what I will write on my future letters to Carol? Don’t get me wrong, I love England BUT ... How many times have I heard this?  Usually England is replaced by the  USA.  So what do they have in common?  Being related, as England is the mother of the beast, they are both sorry for what they have done and have a funny way of accepting their responsibility to clean up the mess they caused.  I do not understand the English and I feel that they do not want to be understood. As well as, there are a lot of things that bother me about England with which the English can not be bothered.  Why is it so necessary to be so different? Different time, money, electrical sockets, road traffic, measurements. I thought a goal in life is to make it easier.  Where do we begin? Since the Eighties analysts have been predicting China’s rise to a world power in the 21st Century.  It is not...
