Hi Trish. I am new to this and yours is the first hello-steemit blog I have read. I see you have tackled some big issues in your life and I'm glad to see you have survived with the rose still between your teeth. Good for you. I'm almost exactly with you on the UK and US run by some murky cabal and I have my suspicions that the Russians are in on it too! In any event and possibly like many here I think you are on the right track that people power and decentralisation is our best way out of this crazy and unfair state we currently have. Cheers.
