I won't iron his shirts...nor...no...tomorrow,,,....

Prime Minister David Cameron is no more. (Well he is ever more because he will be sitting there in the Houses of Parliament) watching you! He knows more than most of you will ever know. So: if that is not worth knowing…

Britain could have done a lot LOT worse than Cameron. Come on! Did Labour do any better? Did Cameron do any worse? I’m on an island here posting from America the Great (that really has ever less protein than the Brits: hello Independence Day….:)) So what the ‘fff’ do I know!

Prime Minister David Cameron was a decent fellow. He may, indeed, not be your fellow or indeed mine. But: living in NYC I find it hard to find ‘fellows’ anywhere unless they want money, promotement, shoulder rubbing for free….

There’ no free ‘back rub’ nowadays/anymore for free!

There was a Brit phrase ‘common decency’! I wrote/quoted/reported David’s ‘pitch’ to the Conservative Party way back when: not that I was…anything…! Or anything. But impressed! Such an uninterrupted 45min speech (no notes all from memory) demanded attention. To be a world leader one needs foremost to command! You could be the greatest Maynard Keynes 100times over but without the leader ‘bling’! !!!  And of course ‘bling’ means nothing everywhere. Alas, always, somewhere. A little sparkle often can go a very long way. Excess can be blinding: akin the frog in boiling water not knowing it should escape.

The United Kingdom grows in the stature of one’s mind in absence. In a sense it is total ‘bs’!  What has that ‘union’ ever done for Scotland, Ireland, Wales….

And yet: when you live in America you realize the world is not that much different. Let alone the U.K. None of us agree with the ‘puppetry’. But do we want another Mussolini? !!! Clearly not. He was democratically elected! Yet! You want democracy…? !
