Bed Blocking · 9:12am May 7th, 2017

As we are currently in a general election campaign in the UK, I am going to take Fluttershy Leans In as a parable of NHS bed blocking. A story which plays out as follows:

Congratulations to Germany, the US's new BFF in the EU · 4:41am Jun 24th, 2016

The UK has, by the looks of things, voted to leave the EU.

The pound is already down 10%.

And by that I mean 12%, as it has fallen an additional 2% since I found out that Brexit is, apparently, happening.

The economists did warn them.

Ah well. In for a penny, in for a pound.

At the present rate, that will be the exchange rate when I get up tomorrow..

The Friendship Problem between Britain and the European Union · 8:40pm May 26th, 2016

European politics is a subject which I have quite a lot to say about, but which I know most Fimfiction readers don’t care about quite as much about as I do. So I don’t blog too much about it, but given the importance of the coming referendum, it deserves a post.

Reality Check · 2:01pm Nov 17th, 2018

Just how bad have things gotten since Trump was elected?

The head law enforcement officer of the United States was on the board of a scam company that claimed proof of Bigfoot and sold investment in time-travel.

Just let that sink in for a bit. And if you voted Trump, ask yourself... is this really what you wanted? Honestly?

Hey, how's it going?

Just stopping by to point out that abortion is a human right. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.

Update - American Politics · 5:56pm Mar 23rd, 2016

The Love and Hatred of Sander's and Trump · 1:18pm Mar 10th, 2016

I get why people are attracted to both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, in many ways they are a lot alike. Both are not afraid to speak what they feel needs to be said. Both have defied the odds and come out with great support from various walks of life, but with a center core (for Sanders it’s Millennials and Trump it’s grassroots workers). Both are anti-establishment and have shaken up the political game. Both are honest in their policies and passionate about them such as Sander’s and his

I'm briefly climbing my campaign horse · 5:58pm Jun 26th, 2015

America just made it legal for homosexuals to join us married plebs in our misery. Hooray!

But why stop there?

This is not a joke post, I am in fact serious. Relationships of this nature do exist and I do feel they should be recognised. I mean, why not? It's only fair.

Boulette's Society · 11:40pm Feb 8th, 2018

Okay, guys. There's something I'd like to discus. And I'd like everyone to keep open-minded about it.

I am generally a leftist when it comes to politics but I try to keep it to matters that actually demand political statements.
Fimfics are not one of them.
Some of you may have noticed Royal Flush's resemblance to...President You-Know-Who.
But I do not want to turn the Boulette storyline into a left-wing diatribe and alienate people.
We're all entitled to our political opinions.

Postmodern Cultural Neo-Marxism; When The SIFT Method Goes BRRR · 9:39pm Jul 20th, 2020

Sorry if I unnerve some people · 1:24pm Mar 15th, 2018

I’m not usually political, heck I try to stay away from politics as far and much as possible. But this past year or so has made it very hard, and to that end I made a shirt. You can find it here, I don’t have high hopes for it selling, but I feel that the movement has to start somewhere.

Net Neutrality and The Internet As We Know It: What are they and how do they actually relate to one another. #Trigger Warning, Controversial Opinions Within · 3:55am Nov 28th, 2017

It has come to my attention that some people on this site don't understand how the internet works, at least here in the US of A. Those of you who stumble upon this blog who aren't from the US are invited to stick around and maybe learn something. Maybe you won't. Maybe you already know all of this. Or maybe you will read this and deny and disagree with what I'm trying to say. That is your own business, and for those of you who are US Citizens, it is also your Right as protected by the

A Blog From Beyond The Social Grave · 4:30am Nov 2nd, 2020

Yes! It is I! Ruby the Great and Soon-To-Be-Well-Read, and also Not Dead. It's been far too long since we've last spoken, but it's also been far too busy and stressful lately to be able to tack anything down here, as I'd have next to nothing to report. But for now, I do have something to report: A completed book, and a soon to be completed book. That is, Rosseau's The Social Contract (complete) and Martin Van Creveld's A History of Strategy: From Sun Tzu to William S. Lind

I cant stand either f:yay:king candidate and, frankly, this election is like the montage in a post apocalyptic movie showing how the world went to heck in a handbasket. People in my family and who I care for are gunna vote Trump cause they cant stand Clinton and others are gunna vote hilary because they hate trump:facehoof:
