Coronavirus aftermath, Trump reelected, Brexit , what will be the fourth horseman




 When the coranvirus is over , we clearly are going to have to face a period of austerity  as the Westminster Government seeks to refill our coffers , and it will be joe public that will suffer.

There will be no attempt to act on Tax loopholes on those avoiding and evading tax , indeed they will be probably do they best to aid the meg rich.



If only we were part of some kind of Custom Union  that will spread the load and ensue we could get back to trading as soon as possible?


Instead of course in the mist of a  huge  financial crisis we see us exit the European with a No Deal and start looking for new partners like the USA


This could mean of course dealing with Donald Trump if he is reelected and who knows how the clearly unhinged President , will react to whta could be an empty begging bowl from Boris Johnson.



Trump indeed seems intent on burning the USA in order to get reelected by rallying , his far right support


Democratic and Republican governors pushed back Sunday on President Donald Trump's tweets to "liberate" states where people protested social distancing measures enacted to slow the spread of the coronavirus


"LIBERATE MINNESOTA!" the president exclaimed in one tweet. "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" he cried in another. "LIBERATE VIRGINIA! and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!" he wrote in a third. 


Gov. Jay Inslee, D-Wash. – who said Friday that Trump's "unhinged rantings and calls for people to 'liberate' states could also lead to violence" – told ABC News' "This Week" that Trump's tweets were "dangerous" because some might take them as encouragement to ignore stay-at-home orders and other measures intended to stop the spread of the virus, which has killed more than 40,000 Americans. 


"I don't know any other way to characterize it," Inslee said, expressing disbelief at seeing the "president of the United States basically encourage insubordination" against laws "designed to protect people's health." 


"It is dangerous because it can inspire people to ignore things that actually can save their lives," Inslee said.

All three states that Trump called to "liberate" are led by Democratic governors, and all three have experienced protests in recent days demanding a rollback of stay-at-home orders. Demonstrators drove thousands of vehicles to Michigan's state Capitol this week to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, for instance. 
It was not clear exactly what Trump meant with the tweets. The only context he offered came with a third "liberate" tweet, directed at Virginia, in which he urged supporters to "save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!" The White House did not immediately respond to a request for further information about the president's intention. 
Critics said the president appeared to be encouraging protests in the states, all three of which are also important for the presidential election.    


We need to think deeply on what sort of world we are going to face in the next  year.


I have very little  faith that if Joe Biden was to win in November it will be a vast change to US policy and we are unlikely to see any change in Boris Johnson approach.


Never before as the necessity for us to consider whether Wales and Scotland should continue with the Union, but there is a very real danger that it could be Westminster decides to end the whole devolution experience.


The fourth Horseman may well be the end of Wales as a Nation.
