Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton

He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations

His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.

He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

That meant the end of 'our' time,
The embers now just cold soot.
Never relit by either of us.

Chimonea
The 'love-seat', our bench, preserved against the weather,
Turning us toward each other,
Feet warmed by the shared flaring chimonea.
Table between us for drinks and snacks,
Until the lid was cracked,
By one of mine,

The hotel weekends,
A summer fortnight,
Time with the amusing grandchildren
To support, Moving on, oldies involved.
The sudden uncoupling,
Contactless,
What happened?
Who decided?
Why?

Parting
It's not a fade away,
More a tearing uprooting
A death without a funeral,
No wake, or gathering, no understanding, or support,
A feeling of guilt spreading
This wouldn't happen
To someone else, their life goes on, immune
To our failure
Everyone else carries on, a success,

Bella Napoli, my little Italian restaurant for lunch in Shrewsbury UK.

Well, I suppose it's a choice,
Gold or Platinum?
£10 in it, a different vineyard?
Or more a comfortable staple?
Pigs in blankets,
Don't forget the sprouts,
The puddings are on the House.

Christmas ready
As the horrendous hot days, finally fade away
Have they?
The time trips over a bump,
And the handbills come out
Avoid cooking and washing up
Have your traditional Christmas with us!

Poor Trump, he must feel a wet fart after all the creeping for the Nobel Peace prize, perhaps there is one for being a prize sociopathic prat?

Home far from the sea,
Seabirds fly over cloud waves,
I feel on the edge.

The wind, everywhere.
This land belongs to rocks, birds
And surf.
Birds feel their way knowing through their claws
The shape of
The granite, now claimed as theirs.

Penzance is the end of the line
A beginning. Not an end,
Don't watch me,
I will slide away quietly
A coffee, a cake
Just like anywhere else,
Think about where next?
It doesn't matter here, a gathering of itself. The sea to that side and the other the ocean,

I haven't decided,
Where I am going tomorrow,
But I know that I have,
Already forgotten.

Over
Here we are, stopped, speechless,
Neither can find a way forward,
And the way back,
Is blocked.

Donald Trump tries to smear Greta Thunberg for Israel.

“She's a troublemaker, she has an anger management problem, I think she should see a doctor she's so crazy.”

He's only making everyone love her more.
