Mutti Merkel heads to victory..... and Hyperion to a satyr

Mutti Merkel steams towards power and victory in Germany's election on Sunday. Merkel was an East German in origin. She is aware of the legacy of the 1945 when millions moved over vast areas of Eastern Europe, she was aware of this through both her family and her area of birth. That is why she welcomed refugees into German society it came from an understanding of a different time and place that was applied to the time we live in. 



Europe has turned back the authoritarian populists and the EU is strengthening.here on the shores of the Tory toxic sea that surrounds Brexit island. Our government is a laughing stock. Our negotiators are bland, boring and bigoted. It's cheer leaders are the Mail,the Sun, the Express. I am ashamed of the grinning dummies of Kippers and pro Brexit Tories both damaging perceptions of the UK in Europe and feeding the prejudiced and bigoted here in the UK. I feel ashamed of my country , like a man who is ashamed of his children. We see the ignorance of Johnson, the grinning visage of Farage and the ignorance of the populist right. Yuk I feel sick....



There is a quote that comes to mind from "Hamlet"; mhamelet is comparing his Uncle to his murdered father and bsays that his father was like "Hyperion to a satyr" Its how I feel when i look at the brexit team we have when it could be Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer, Emily Thornbury and Barry Gardiber...yep spot on Hamlet........ "So excellent a king; that was, to this,
Hyperion to a satyr"
