The political dog days of August


The political dog days of August...its late August the dog end of the dog days as a wet month play out. We are a month from the Equinox when day and night are in balance. The political conference season is a few weeks away . For Labour the Corbynistas begin to reform the rules and prepare to take power perhaps as early as October , the Tories hang on by their fingettips as Brexit grows more obscure, more diverse​ and assassins circle Theresa May. . The Liberal Democrats stunned look around in confusion and led by an old man are incapable of realising that someone shifted the middle of the road. 
 
 

In the USA the Trump administration disintegrates and it becomes increasingly clear that the simple promises made to the rust belt voters is shown to be a lie . In Afghanistan continuity proves to be the true path. The Trump voters begin to wake up as the alt right having used then moves on. Like Brexit voters fooled by the hypnosis of immigration and blame , the American workers who voted for Trump realise they were just fodder for the biliionaires taking power in the swamp. Marx long ago talked of history repeating itself first as a tragedy then as a farce. The populists Trump sends the children of the rust let back to Afghanistan to be slaughtered.

In Wales the Kippers snap and rave at Leanne Wood because of her comments. Yet their very actions and hysterical responses reveal they fade from relevance and squabble as a group nutters, racists and odd bods jostle to succeed . Yet the damage is done the genii is out of the lamp

In Wales a demand for a right wing and nationalist force grows as Cymru Nation shows all the signs of turning into a Welsh Breibart and Jac o" the North the foolish old blogger of North Wales tweets neo Nazi Propaganda...and the retweets it...

The Ecosocialist look into the future, some consider numerous political possibilities others are confused and many unsure.

As light and dark near equivalence the implications of Brexit, of political discourse begin to become apparent. What will happen next? ..and as I as a foolish younger blogger... I speculate on the entrails of politics a and casts the runes and the bus moves south to Swansea...I hope you all have a good day...(The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, which Greek and Roman astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck.)

  1. Hi Martyn. Nation.Cymru is a voluntary news site and hosts a range of left wing and right wing opinions. It will only become a 'Welsh Breitbart' if the left wing don't bother contributing! Even then I find the comparison rather offensive as Breitbart is pretty much an alt-right (i.e. neo nazi) site while Nation.Cymru while the 'right wing' articles hosted on Nation.Cymru are probably a few leagues to the left of the Democratic Party let alone Trump and his ilk. Best, Ifan
