UK - still offended by Brexit
Excited by the positive potential of AI - wary of the downside.
Marvel at and believe in boundless human ability and shudder at pathetic, merciless leaders destroying the world.

I’m not sure it’s that simple.
Amazon developed a supply system that consumers have found valuable - from the ease of perusing competitive products to the simplicity of the ordering system and speed of delivery. Does it pay a fair share of UK tax? Agree that £1,000,000,000+ is obscene wealth IMO.

A few minutes ago Amazon only had 1 p/back copy of "Fallen Feathers" left - and I bought it (+ a Kindle version).
One review says: "Sensational read .. Brilliantly written, ... deeply unsettling whilst laughing out loud within moments. I loved this second book"
"Baby's Breath" set in US was great.

Chilling. And to avoid it requires rational and persuasive leadership to bring together the opponents of the horrendous “government”. Just one initial objective after which they can settle down to the petty squabbling that is a feature of true democracy.
