Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-10-2019: International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

17th October, 2019


Another year, another day, another dollar: ha!

But in all that?

I’m getting my boiler looked at, today.

Much like it’s needed for the past couple of years.

Quite what’s happening … ?

I honestly couldn’t tell you.

Did I mention Extinction Rebellion?

The protest movement is known for it’s direct action: with member glueing themselves to walls, railings, trains and planes across the world.

This morning, however?

Frustrated commuters have pulled an Extinction Rebellion protestor off of a tube train in Canning Town.

Personally?

I’m sympathetic to Extinction Rebellion’s cause: I think governments should be doing more.

But, having been a commuter who’s had his train delayed, too many times, by people who’ve jumped in front of them?

I’m with those commuters.

However sympathetic I may to your cause?   I vote Green, after all.

However sympathetic I am, don’t stop my trip to work.

I’m likely to be less sympathetic.

Now … 

Have a playlist …
