And now I'll delightfully go look at the rest!
Hope you like them.
Very true.

Shades of a certain royal couple. thanks Andy.
Privacy - if press was not courted....
Beyond that, I'm with you all the way, Michael.
BTW - Your artworks part of an economy drive? 😊
For some reason many of my latest works simply won't download on this site - not sure why as they meet the size criteria and somewhat frustrating.
I understand the problem and the frustration very well, Michael and cannot offer any solutions - but you do have my commiserations.
You should hear them shouting foul over the parliamentary bill to give police more powers to deal with illegal traveller encampments.
Your powerful two lines brought this to mind immediately.
We have a lot of problems with travellers in my area. i hate to critical of pthers but they really don't help themselves by their disregard of society etiquette.
meanwhile:
London Mayor increased Press office spending
by 26% in 2020

in the runup to elections, that he won: by a landslide...
despite closing an abhorrent amount of police stations
since 2017, to save '8 million' - from a budget of 'billions'
and still promises to close more,
while stabbing figures and crime rates, rise: relentlessly...
(it's all a well coordinated dance of propaganda
and everyone knows it,
we're just too scared to believe it, because western society
is rotten to the core,
and we don't want to admit it)
Sadly our democracy is nowhere as democratic as we would like to think. Parliament and those who serve in it are not independant being influenced by wealth and elitism. Yes, we don't want to admit it.
we certainly have one or two like that .. I really like this little nugget Michael 🙂
Those who can’t, critique, but in my case, even bad press is some recognition,
