I will use this medium to start to publish the poetry and surreal writings I have created since I was a little boy in the Netherlands.
My writings are in English these days.

I call the site 'Welcome to my Monkey House'.

So, welcome!

This guy was an inept aspiring mobster.
Only his extreme royal privilege made that he could get away with all this.
It’s scandalous.

The sheer obscenity of this all is sickening.
The mad privilege of that archaic institution should be the end of it.

Yuk.

If ever you fancy reading a great book of the battle between the Vatican and the Reformation, I strongly recommend this book. Written by Luther Blissett, a collective pen name adopted here by 4 Italian authors. (About them: See follow-up message)

From the NYT.
Get Trump to celebrate that all he is achieved is rollback much of what was a consequence of his own, mad tariff delusions.
Dems should call that out loudly and don’t let him get away with it.

And Xi, like Putin, played him like a 🎻.

The damage done by Farage and the Tories is not limited to “just” Brexit.
Even when right now immigrants are essential for the British economy, driven by the extreme polarisation they instigate, their followers are even more dogmatically stupid than MAGAts.

The long term damage is astronomical.

UK rightwing voters more anti-immigrant than Trump supporters, survey finds

Polling paints a stark picture of how immigration has helped to polarise Britain’s politics

Surprised?
It’s the monarchy.
A system that has survived a 1000 years of onslaught.
Its sole (!) purpose is its own survival. Everything around it has been honed to facilitate that.
