And we start another week with more lockdown, more protests and more BS from politicians, what can we find to rant about today.

Firstly in America, As the protests roll on in the fight for justice, equality and the end to police brutality of minority groups, two prominent Republicans add their names to the growing list of people against Trumps handling of the crisis in America right now. Republican Senator Mick Romney joined a protest march in solidarity of the #BlackLivesMatter platform and former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, the only African American so far to have served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has joined a growing list of former top military officials to have launched scathing attacks on President Trump coming out and strongly criticising Trump's handling of anti-racism protests, saying Trump had "drifted away" from the constitution in his threats to use the army to quell unrest. and that he would vote for Democratic candidate Joe Biden in November's poll. As usual Trumps response was to throw slander and insult at his opposition by calling Mr Powell "highly overrated". We are seeing a man who has lied, subverted justice, redirected national money in to his own businesses, committed tax evasion, Sexual abuse and possible acts of child abuse, disregarded the constitution and openly committed acts of racism inciting white supremacists around the country to take up arms. It is past the time to remove this person from office and convict him of his abuses. Come on Republican Americans wake up and realise what this man has done to your country.

Meanwhile in dear old Blighty peaceful protests were marred by a few thugs just out to cause trouble which escalated when police tried to clear the protesters from Whitehall in London prompting a statement from Boris Johnson which stated that anti-racism protests at the weekend were "subverted by thuggery" after some demonstrators clashed with police adding people had the right to protest but engaging in violence was a "betrayal" to the protesters' cause. Thousands of people attended largely peaceful demonstrations in cities across the UK at the weekend. So as a other week starts The British government still remains silent on the state of racism in our country and still has not openly condemned Trump's handling of the issues in America, but has In some avenues of the government voiced its concerns that with UK removing itself from the EU That could sever the UK’s special relationship with the US and may end if Trump wins a second term, some of the UK’s most senior retired diplomats and Conservative foreign policy specialists have also said that if the Democrat Joe Biden wins, Washington may view the EU rather than the UK as its primary partner. Basically the UK could be ostracised from both the EU and the US leaving us in a political and economical desert with no metaphorical means of water to sustain us through the uncertain times of establishing a decent trade agreement with any other country which was solely publicised by the remain campaign party during the Brexit referendum, but instead the country believed the nationalists and fascist embedded in the political parties that Britain should be free from EU rule. History will once again show Britain as the ass wipes of the world, no longer the empire of the past. Brexit was and still is wrong for the country as major industries start to feel the bite of insolvency especially during this lockdown where there is no production or exportation of goods. The future is bleak for dear old Blighty.

Rant you tomorrow!
