" . . . imagine then that the government was led by a thug . . . "

Given that our current UK PM has gone out of his way to prove himself a thug, and has had the courts doing his dirty work for him with regard to social media posters who expressed banned feelings and forbidden opinions, with no public signs of dissent from any of his fellow 'human rights' barristers, etc., I wonder if that riding roughshod scenario might be more likely than many seem to think. Puppet ministers summon their own demons, which all have the same useful surname (Emergency).

Whilst excited by the current drama of precious metals priced in fiat currencies, I fear we might be heading into a tragedy as dark as any Shakespeare imaged into form. Scenes characterised by atmospheres as deathly as King Lear, as evil as Macbeth, would, I fear, be an outcome those directing our governments would consider to be comedy, a masque fit for a king.

They’ll have me whipped for speaking true,

thou ’lt have me whipped for lying,

and sometimes I am whipped for holding my peace . . .

So said Lear's fool.
