I just like to stroll about picking things up, have a wee look at them and then wander on. It is the pleasure of finding things that are both ugly and beautiful. I think the reason I have a Blog is to do many different things; make comments, try to understand concepts, and not to be too tidy. It might seem like disconnected jottings, well you would be correct and that suits me.

Jo Cox 1974- 2016 RIP. They should really cancel the referendum but if they hold it I will vote Remain in her memory. No election deserves the death of a human being. With her loss I will replace her vote. I respected her as a decent human being who stood for policies that I did not always agree with but she deserves to have her vote count. For once, and I vote in every election available, I will give her my vote, as I will still be alive and she will not. This is not out of emotion this is standing up for decency and marking my colours to the mast; that we will not put up with people murdering our elected officials. I vote remain because she would have voted remain. In this I use her vote as a demonstration that our democracy has meaning and that votes and people count, that our people are a great people. I give my vote as a protest that this murderous action has lost us an amazing talent that people from all walks of life and politics recognises. Democracy to me is about expressing an ideal for all sides and I for once will let someone who lost their chance through no fault of their own have their vote. I believe in doing the selfless act and in doing so mark my tribute to lost potential. I doubt that one vote will make a difference to the overall result. I stand my ground and use this one vote as a blazon for Jo Cox.
