From now on it's going to be only UK First

One thing we can all do to stuff Elon & Trump. Move your investments out of America.  I've just moved my pension to exclusively UK investments.  Being over 50 this is well over £100,000 of stock about half of which was previously invested in NASDAQ companies.  Apart from being a political move I think US stocks are a particularly risky investment at the moment and want out so it's a win win.

As my mother becomes older (mid80s) she gets increasingly convinced things that are not real are happening. For example a while ago someone broke into the shed but failed to steal the lawnmower due to having the criminal skills of Anthony Worrell Thompson. A couple of years later she's now convinced the same people are poisoning plants in the garden ( when actually they just die due to disease or not enough water). You can talk her out of this irrational thinking for a while but left alone for a while her mind reverts and then you have to do it again and again and again... Or just give up and not bother. Sometimes I look at the aging Donald Trump with his lists of threats and perceived enemies and wonder if his obsession with unreal enemies is in any way linked to a similar kind of dementia. A world in which threats are never analysed with proportionality... And bits and pieces of evidence are glued other without much critical thought... Anyway....
