Thank God that this year is over, I simply cannot think of anything that could be worse in 2017. Well, of course, apart from WWIII, that would be much worse. What on Earth happened? Oh yes. Donald Trump became president, ISIS are still here, North Korea tested a nuclear warhead. David Cameron decided that the UK should leave the EU (Thank you for that by the way). People are still going on about Harambe's death which happened 7 months ago (Get over it). Mass riots in prisons due to under-funding. Wait, hang on...You can spend half a billion dollars on wars, yet you can't fund prisons...hmm. The Russian ambassador to Turkey was assassinated in plain sight, but hey, it's not like an assassin's bullet has triggered a world war or anything (cough, cough). Everyone still believes everything that they read in the papers. Don't you remember what happened (Or more accurately, didn't happen) in July? "Pope Francis has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President". Yeah, right. Someone decided to leak the Panama Papers, spreading 11.5 million documents about attorney and client information (Do you have anything better to do with your life?). People like teachers get paid less than £30,000. Night watchmen who have to work from dusk to the morning and get paid £25,000. Footballers, on the other hand, are paid to kick a damn ball around for 90 minutes and get paid £30,000 a week. That's madness. Okay, that's it, I'm done.
Aren't I glad that I was born in this era?
Let us just hope that 2017 will be better. At least a little bit.
