Out with the old.
George Washington warned of the dangers of political parties and politicians over 200 years ago in his 1792 farewell address to Congress. Those words seem even more relevant today.
The rise of careeer politicians over al least the past five decades has led to
With an outline philosophy and methodology drafted, and a plan pretty much in place, all was looking good to add flesh to the bones and think about a launch. Then at some point over the May Bank Holiday weekend I decided to go to the toilet. I never made it and after a quick wobble and fall I knew from the loss of all feeling and movement down my left side that I was having a stroke. Certainly not the best holiday weekend I’ve ver had but I was undoubtedly far luckier than many; recovering full mobility and leaving hospital in under a week. I have, however, been well off the pace ever since. Nothing outwardly dramatic but a good deal slower in both thought and speech. Being told by doctors that I have suffered a decline in cognitive skills as a result of the stroke, as opposed to imagination and anxiety simply running away with me, has now allowed me to take stock and work out what I can (and cannot) now do. Needless to say my fabulous plans for saving the world have obviously gone to hell in a handcart.
So, here and now, and in a much more limited fashion than originally intended, Poprimus is now my very personal project with three simple objectives:
a) spread the case for a people-first system of direct democracy as far as possible
b) trying to taking myself less seriously, and seeing just how far i can spread the smelly brown stuff from the fan.
