It must have been quite a panic for the ship to have lost one of it’s passengers. How strange though not to return to the ship and not tell anyone. Apparently the missing lady booked into a hotel on the French side of the Caribbean Island and decided to stay there. She was found by looking at the Passport Records of the Hotel.

Actually I can quite understand the adventure of this , perhaps she just wanted to disappear for a while, or maybe she didn’t like the idea of a return to the ocean. The French side of the Island sounds rather nice.

Glad it was all resolved, and I suppose she will plead temporary insanity.

Spain is one of the big five investors in the Eurovision Contest, so they have a lot of financial muscle.

They feel it is unfair that other Countries have been penalised for breaking the ethical rules of the singing Contest, but Israel is allowed to continue to participate and perhaps use the contest for nefarious purposes which don’t align with the positivity and neutrality of the Contest.

If only singing about something could bring change, but we’ve had music for time an memorial and it doesn’t really stop anything or influence anything does it?

In fact, the latest crisis in the Middle East was ignited by a Music Festival which was in a location close to a border and the event itself had very little security, as a result it was targeted, would we be in a better place if it had never had happened?

Thankfully, the Eurovision Contest is a very secure event and long may it continue as such. It has a big budget and Spain have every right to say they do not want to participate, which is a shame as they have some wonderful musical artists and probably account for a lot of the viewing figures.

So there it is , I’m pleased Spain is putting an alternative point of view and expressing it in a meaningful demonstration. I just wish politics was removed from the arena of entertainment.

Namaste and Thank you for reading.🙏

Thank you to Sam Francis Political Reporter at BBC News for the Headline.

This is what annoys me about politicians, they seem to think that it is acceptable within Parliament to use defamatory name calling during their debates. This is an incredibly bad habit to get into.

Normal workplaces would not allow such “name calling” and the likelihood would you would be reprimanded or fired for describing your colleagues as such. The only time that you would hear such descriptions would be in whisperings in the corner or in the clique of gossip purveyors who will character assassinate anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint on how an organisation should be run.

So this constant barrage of insult and detrimental comment that is part of the media like performances and soundbites both in and out of parliament needs to stop.

Just listen nowadays in a children’s playground and the language and the name calling is atrocious. Where do you think they are getting this from. Our so called leaders of course.

Namaste and thank you for reading.🙏
