2017 Rant

2017. Brilliant. What a good year, eh?

Net neutrality. (Good for you) At least Jeremy Corbyn became a political rockstar. (Go Corbyn!) His manifesto included policies like helping poor people out, ensuring that doctors and teachers get paid properly, which people wrongly predicted that would make his voters run off. In the end, Theresa May was forced to team up with a bunch of Northern Irish creationists, just to stay in power. (Pfft!) Ever since Trump got in power, the death toll of people killed by guns has been going up. By statistics 15,000 people have been killed by guns, just this year -- that's 40 a day. What else? Oh yes, Grenfell Tower. People have still got no homes to go to as it's still a massive block of cinder. (Come now, it's not like you're trying to build a nuclear submarine, it's one flat) On the bright side of life, ISIS' grip on the Middle East is gone thanks to US air strikes and ground action. Over the last year, their grip on the territory has slipped -- this all started in July, by the way, so that's good. It just took five months. Imagine what could happen in a year. All they have now is a few villages and some plots of sand in the desert. But...this does mean that Iraq and Syria might go into war again. (Oh dear...) At least "Star Wars : The Last Jedi" made a 577 million dollar profit. Great film, in my opinion, loved it. Hopefully we will be able to get through 2018 without Kim Yong Un nuking the entire world. For now, the world can simply hold its breath and hope for the best.

Here's to 2018!
