I'm really surprised that you have never heard of either of them. Do you live in a cave? Even Donald Trump knows Boris Johnson.
In the UK we have blow by blow accounts of US politics. I confess I am not familiar with every Senate representative I get the main picture.
Jerome Corbyn is leader of our main opposition Party he is Marxist by inclination. Believes in scrapping NATO and was quoted as calling Venezuela a Socialist Paradise. I could go on but his views and proposals make your left leaning Democrats pussycats in comparison.

I agree She was premature (born at 24 weeks gestation), and did some research on the effects of that, stats and such, and one of the things she told me about it is that preemies are not risk takers. We share a lot in our perspectives on life, perhaps especially sentimentally, though I have lived my life quite differently. For instance, she still lives at home (with her dad, her aunt, and her grandfather) whereas I left home as soon as it was feasible to do so, at eighteen: quit school, and started working to support myself... though I did allow myself to be talked into attempting to get my grade twelve diploma (was one credit short of that due to having been put on independent studies in English because of my love of reading) and a year later went to college for a year, where I discovered my love of working with photographs in the darkroom (as opposed to simply taking pictures). I dropped out of college, too, early in the second year, but pursued lab work, and started my first lab job on my 21st birthday, which I have always considered a gift from God, since it was the only thing I knew I wanted to do professionally. My daughter has been employed for almost six years now at an animal clinic, which is also the only thing she really wanted to do. She was blessed in that regard also, since she had had no training in it. She had, however, volunteered for a few years at a cat sanctuary, where she went in once a week for half a day to care for felines with terminal illnesses. I had considered working with animals also when I was younger, much younger, but did not like the idea of dealing with sick, injured, and dying animals. She deals with it quite well She has interesting stories to tell

In a few days I will be two 32 1/2 year olds….. I'm sticking around since I started collecting SS in February this year. I love this stage of my life. Lots of the stress I used to have to deal with is gone. Daughters are grown one married with 5 children the other is living upstairs and will probably move to TN with us and start over there.
My biggest problem is I don't breathe as well as I used to and I'm over weight which is part of my breathing problems but not all of it as my parents were heavy smokers in the house and I breathed that for years as a kid...the joys of second hand smoke...
Still get around even if it is slow and have most all of my marbles, Tourist may question that at times. But can't really complain start Medicare this month and they suck out about 1/3 of my SS check along with the supplement ins. Our grandparents had it good they didn't have to pay anything....oh well, I guess that's how it goes for being a part of the Baby Boomer problem....lol
I do get tired of politicians saying these are entitlement programs when we have paid into this stuff all our lives. You bet I'm entitled I have paid my way for it....at least that's how this Blond feels about it.

Thank you very much, Tabin, I do very much enjoy being engaged in the creative process, that has pretty much been a life-long pursuit with me. When I was younger I drew and painted a lot, though I am careful to let people know I do not draw the elements in my panels, as they are collages put together from images offered online for people to use for personal projects as long as there is no commercial gain. I do individual searches for things like flowers, butterflies, birds, backgrounds, special effects etc and then put them together in a way that is hopefully pleasing The main purpose is to display Scripture or offer a prayer for someone... and I have thought about a Christmas card for this year, though last year's was Bob's idea, and he has not suggested anything for me yet LOL
^ ^ Last year's card The theme was the little drummer boy

My daughter has informed me that in the new year we will no longer be paying medical premiums. We were the only province that did in the first place, and the cost was quite high for a while after being somewhat reasonable for a long time, so having the cost removed completely is wonderful I suppose financial support for the medical system will come out of our taxes as it is meant to, and how it worked elsewhere across Canada. We do have a two-tiered system now after much resistance to the idea for decades, meaning, some doctors will still charge full price for their services as they are not covered or part of the medical services plan. Apparently going that route really speeds up the process for special care needs, but of course the cost is prohibitive for most.
