Can Mike Bloomberg be the president of the United States????

It is said that money cannot give you happiness. However, it helps, does not it? If not, take a look at Michael Bloomberg. The billionaire businessman who started from zero and former mayor of New York City for 12 years has spent a fortune (500 million dollars thus far) in advertisements the last two months in order to have options and gain the nomination to face Donald Trump this November to become the new president of the United States. Mike Bloomberg

While somewhere in the region of 20 democrats were fighting each other in bitter debates since last summer Michael Bloomberg was saving cash to promote himself in 2020. Now, there are only 6 democrat candidates more or less and even though Michael Bloomberg has not participated in the 3 first voting states he appears with options to win the nomination now. Money can buy plenty of things but can buy a political nomination and a presidency??? What do you think?

"Dulce et Decorum Est" Wilfred Owen The Pity of War

With regards to the coined sentence “the pity of war”, one should convey thereby, that Wilfred Owen wants to tell the truth about war, albeit fighting for your country is proper regardless as his poem “Dulce et Decorum Est” states. 

Wilfred Owen The pity of War Dulce et decorum est

Indeed, the Georgians, to which Owen belonged despite omissions, did try to talk about life clearly. Consequently, “the pity of war” refers to what war was really about feeling honoured serving your country. Poems such as “The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke or “When you see Millions of the Mouthless dead” by Charles Hamilton Sorley embrace this notion.

Notwithstanding these two authors, it is “Dulce et Decorum est” by Wilfred Owen that epitomizes “the pity of war” best. Not only the title means that it is sweet to die for your country, we feel the harsh truth of war too throughout the overall text: (“he plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning”), (“as under a green sea, I saw him drowning”), (“Drunk with fatigue, deaf even to the hoots”), (“and watch the white eyes writhing in his face”) and the end says it all: (“The old lie: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori”).

All in all, “Dulce et Decorum est” by Wilfred Owen explains fully the expression “the pity of war”. The war is horrible, yet perhaps dying for your country might be beautiful.

The truth about Brexit

David Cameron had a relevant majority and he was ruling Britain comfortably. After gaining the Scotland referendum in 2014 (he only allowed it to end the prospect of an independent Scotland forever as the polls gave a clear majority against independence but now the Scotland independence movement has grown stronger because of Brexit) he wanted to put pressure on the European Union with a Brexit referendum so that obtaining more money from the European Union. Besides, he wanted to get rid of radical members of his party who hate Europe (now these radical members rule the party). He thought it was impossible that British people would vote to leave the European Union. He thought his plan was great and he would show the European Union that Britain deserved more money. Read this in Spanish Brexit

At the same time, Boris Johnson madly wanted the job of David Cameron (they were both educated in the same school and had been competing against each other since their respective political careers started) and the only way to end the career of David Cameron was to support Brexit so he started a campaign full of lies.

Boris Johnson writes a weekly column regarding politics for The Daily Telegraph and he was going to write an article saying how important the European Union is and how bad for the United Kingdom was leaving the European Union. However, as David Cameron announced his Brexit referendum he changed the column and he announced he was going to support Brexit. He thereby wanted to end the career of David Cameron. The Brexit supporters started a campaign full of lies to give David Cameron the sack and they won unexpectedly as remain supporters did not defend their position fully and now Boris Johnson is the premier of the UK.

The reality is that you cannot leave the European Union if you are in Europe in real terms. Indeed, Britain will have to travel to Brussels constantly to make agreements and given the world we are living Britain will be poorer and isolated. Since European countries are small only inside the European Union one can compete against countries like India, the United States or China.

What is more, Northern Ireland is on the brink of joining the rest of Ireland and Scotland wants independence because of Brexit and Britons are going to be poorer because they will not receive funds from the European Union. Some experts say that Britain will have to join the European Union again as you cannot be in Europe without doing business with the rest of European countries that are all of them in the European Union.

The only person who has obtained something positive with Brexit is Boris Johnson, the people of Britain will suffer a lot. Brexit is a historical mistake that can end Great Britain and its beautiful greatness. In fact, support for the independence of Scotland has growth and Northern Ireland is alone and near leaving Great Britain.

Northern Ireland remains in the European Union and there will be a frontier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom even though Northern Ireland belongs to the United Kingdom. This is ridiculous.

Boris Johnson knew about this but Brexit was the only way to be the Prime Minister of Great Britain. This is very, very sad, because Britons were told lies to vote leave and now they are going to face the harsh reality

The truth about Brexit

The Brexit supporters wanted to take control of the Conservative party and ruling Britain. And they have obtained it with the Brexit issue that it is an old nationalistic English movement that tells old tales about the British Empire that does no longer exist. Northern Ireland and Scotland wanted to remain in the European Union and now they want to leave the United Kingdom.

The press in Britain is conservative and they will invent stories to support Brexit but the reality is clearer. Brexit is a mess and Britons will be poorer. Likewise, Boris Johnson will have to travel to Brussels often to negotiate as Britain has to make business with the rest of the European countries but they will have no right to decide anything as they have decided to leave the European Union. 

Politicians do not look after their citizens; they only look after their interests. A great farce has been created. After more than 3 years the United Kingdom has finally been able to leave the European Union but now they will start to negotiate an agreement that can last years. England can lose now Scotland and Northern Ireland breaking forever Great Britain (we must remember that the peace in Northern Ireland was signed after decades of blood) and everything thanks to the ambition of Boris Johnson who is now rich and powerful.
