Beware the sharks

Have fun with these words : pride, minister, exploit, heroin, scandal, aquarium, scan, fixture and define.

Our Prime Minister takes pride in being “a man of the people.” He defines himself by his upbringing. His mother was the most important person in his life and he’s proud of the fact she was a single mother struggling to bring her son up alone. That’s why I like him, voted for him. There is no scandal in his background, what you see is what you get. Unlike the majority of politicians who exploit their positions and grab what they can while they are in power.

Australia is known for its inability to keep a Prime Minister in power for very long. We seem to change them as often as a pair of socks! No one here gets a chance to settle in and become a fixture for too long. I think it’s a case of tall poppy syndrome, we simply don’t like people who think they’re above everyone else. It’s soon “off with their heads.”
It’s been very much the same in the UK these past few years, there seems no stability any longer. Political figures are involved in sex scandals, drug taking, heroin habits and such. Where are our statesmen and women? Those who have the good of their country at heart.
I don’t follow American politics very much, perhaps only to scan the headlines of the newspapers when Mr Trump is in news, as he seems to be most of the time, so I can’t really comment.

I know people shake their heads and wonder who they can trust but with good reason. We’re all afraid to trust anyone or anything. We fear someone is trying to scam us- and guess what? They are!

Well, after all this serious discussion, I’m off to the aquarium to watch the peaceful underwater world. But of course, they have their sharks there too.
