Greetings wonderful people.

Before I launch into my weekly monologue,

I just want to give you a quick reminder to check out my Patreon.com site.

Please go to my Patreon.com site and look for me by name and part with a bit of cash to show your

support practical support for the channel. If and when you do so you get early

access to all the new content. There's an exclusive question and answer session every week, which is very

enjoyable, at least it is for me. All in all, it's a great site and I would love to see you there. Genuinely. Okay let's get into the monologue.

Remember when in Britain we used to say that Americans didn't get irony. I used to think

that the irony of that statement was partly that most British people couldn't see what irony was either.

But you know being ironic is it's when you get your point across by using language that means the opposite.

Or when what happens to you is completely the opposite of or so much worse than what you'd expected,

so much so that it even makes you laugh. Oh the irony. Or when someone says or does something and

everyone knows the significance except the person that said or did it. You know that that's irony. It's quite a it's quite a tricky concept to articulate that you know you kind of get it or you don don't and the irony of the situation now I would say here

and across the west in Europe in the United States of America perhaps even elsewhere

is that more and more people just know it's game over for the

way things have always been way we thought they were that's no more and yet our supposed leaders and so many of our fellow citizens

seem to think the status quo is still intact. If it wasn't so sad, so pathetic really, it would be funny. So as I say,

oh the irony of the situation in which we find ourselves and as I record this it's still two days to the

British general election this is Tuesday the election's Thursday.

So perhaps by the time you watch this, whatever is going to happen has happened.

I don't know when you'll see this.

And all I can say at this point, when it's still, what would you say,
