This is not party political.

It is about the art of turning around the Great Oil Tanker of State - or it would be if the State had any oil tankers left. Turning the wind farm doesn't somehow achieve the required rhetorical imagery, so we'll stick with the oil tanker metaphor.

An oil tanker requires a lot of seascape to turn around. It's a big ship with a lot of directional momentum. It's a big job; unlike turning a sailing yacht, which might still be tricky but can be accomplished very quickly - possibly too quickly!

As such, the horizon of required viewing is much further away than the proximate electoral clash, and it permits the viewing of a whole battlefield rather than an isolated skirmish.

With an electoral system based on a five-year cycle, the number seasoned politicos with the required depth of experience to make sense of the whole is already small - the number who remain independent of vested interests but still willing to share their wisdom is almost vanishingly small.

We are privileged to hear them.

When we visit the doctor, we expect care that will make us well. Even merely care that is more likely than not to do us no harm.

The article featured here is relevant to the situation in the USA, whilst the situation in the UK differs if we choose care from the NHS. In the USA suing your doctor doesn't automatically mean taking on the government, so is more practicable in theory.

But the spells woven by the words are ... interesting, depending upon who exactly is interpreting their precise meaning ... meaning that may vary according to the assumptions of the interpreter.

Read well, become informed.

14th June 1946.

Will this date go down in history as the date that peace became unstoppable?

Well, maybe there is a US-Iran peace deal, but what's it worth without Israeli backing (or even with Israeli backing)? Apparently Israel has not been a party to these negotiations.

So will they invoke their inalienable right to self-defence against peace deals that they do not like?
