“Their welfare our highest priority.”
When lies and untruths from Authority
Are nothing more than legal robbery,
Then a Sovereign Citizen I shall be.

The above is a typical moaning quatrain utilised as a test to determine that lines of communication remain open…

Prithee, I'm lazy... what's a "sovereign citizen"? Last I recall, it seemed to be the claim from individuals who refused to obey the laws of the land. The instances illustrating encounters never but showed rebellious idiots. Lovely mono-rhyme quartrain of sorts. Thank you for sharing.
Nay Missy... I mean yay, Missy, think you are about right, but who wouldn't want to shrug off a law or two... or three?
The *fools* who forget there is an end.
True words Dave.

Ta, Andy.
I read you Dave and have to say that the piece struck a chord. I have been robbed too many times and would join Robin Hood if I could find him.
Sherwood forrest, Nottinghamshire, England, mate, but I have a funny feeling he may have moved on. I hope, however that enough folks unite one day to gently but forcefully rectify a corrupted system. (Unfortunately I'm not sure gentle will work, though, and anyway I'm also not sure that it is not too late already).
Dave you are the only one as cynical as I. I am sure that there will be a revolution and rebirth but who can say if it will be any better. Glad your computer is working again mate
No sovereighty in Britain anymore, we've become feral.
Mind you, anytime I hear the word, authority, I run for the hills.
Okay, just been informed the hills are on fire, caught.
Yes, I do believe you are having a bit of a sweaty time on that side of the earth... Not looking forward to my turn.
As for the rest, give me the Britain of the sixties and seventies (definitely before Thatcher) anytime.
Quite annoying when that happens. I haven't had my own tech devices for the last 5 or so years and rely of ones lent to me by family members. (sighs) 🕊️🙏🏻
I'm on the mend now, but it wasn't only the PC, also the toilet cistern which wouldn't stop flowing, was newer and inaccessable compared with the old types, plus a drawer collapse under sink and a low beep I couldn' locate (eventually a sensor under the water tank). Unbelievable.
Haha, Dave...with the author’s note, this becomes less manifesto and more diagnostic tap on the microphone. A little moan, a little mischief, and proof that the machine is alive again. Glad your PC made it back from the dead, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Never a manefesto,Tristan; I'm more (but not entirely) an observer who likes to administer a good kicking when I think noone else is looking..😜
It's like John Lennon said in the Song: 'Gimme some truth'. We are fed a diet of B.S. I hear what you are saying.
And what's that old saying? 'Red Sky at Night, Europes alight'.
Thanks for your support, Kevin. I need it. How I still have a TV and radio when they really are no more than instruments of torture, I'm not sure. Must have self control reserves of which I'm unaware.
Seems that 'old saying' is apparently prophetic - I'm quaking in me flip flops as I await our turn.
The Telephone is also an Instrument of Torture.
Especially when those Salespeople keep Ringing Up.
Also If you walk backwards, Do Flip Flops become Flop Flips?
Eliminate the ratbags. A few years ago I was answering my phone to nothing I wanted several times a day (landline only) My phone has this recorded:
" Hello, sorry I can’t answer right now. Please leave a message and I’ll get back to you – unless of course you want to push a survey, ask for a donation or sell me something I haven’t asked for. Thanks." (Leasurely pace)
When a human I recognise answers (the nonsense callers just hang up) I pick up.
Took time but it worked.
I def. don't walk backwards - I'm in enough trouble walking forward these days...
the system is too corrupt to change overnight, but I hope you, the PC and all that matters are moving forward at the pace suitable to you..
have a good weekend, cheers..
I am doing the best I can, within my limited caacity...
Your judgement on the system is pretty right I think, you realist, you...
Thanks for the support and take care.
No way would I say the capacity is limited- it’s still full steam ahead 😋
The problems in the system are too deeply embedded to enable quick measures so one can just highlight it and wait for change to come
Have a peaceful weekend and take care 👍💐
I quite understand where you are coming from because I'm write there beside ya .. it's where we are heading that makes me flinch or squirm it depends which eye I'm looking through .. Glad you got back on track mate, honest ..
All but over I think, Neville. A hot mess, climate change and war, plus corruption and...
