Today sees many millions of American voters take to the polls to elect their next president. The world watches on, with many here in the UK hoping for a majority for Clinton. Neither candidate is especially inspiring but the prevailing view is that the Democratic candidate will be a safer pair of hands as opposed to the unpredictable demagogue.
On the International stage someone as volatile and unpredictable as Trump is a clear liability. It appears he has no understanding of the risks invovled or the delicate relationships that maintain peace. The mutual repect he also has with Putin may come to an end pretty quickly too. It appears he is just there as a result of his own confidence and self belief. And a fair dose of arrogance.
If we could just have a small amount of that confidence. Just not too much!
Things I am grateful for
1. My wife has a university assessment today and I'm really proud of her as she is doing so well.
2. Scotland play England at football on Friday night which is exciting many of us here in Glasgow.
3. The snow that has been forecast looks like it may be rain now, which is a relief although I must be getting old. I used to love the snow!
Cheers
