Sound bites mean nothing, just like Headlines!

They are used to draw you in.

Here are some examples:

“ In Brexit, we hold all the cards.”

“ Brexit will be good for the UK”

“ Brexit has energised millions of people”

And in Scotland.

“ We will not be taken out of the EU against our will”

“ We will have a Referendum in 2023”

“I am a Femenist”

90% of the time Sound Bites are just that, Sound Bites, empty words in their make-believe world.

Words can be used in many ways, even in powerful ways but in today’s world of Politics, they are empty and meaningless.

Why, because we have seen so many words turned into lies and empty promises. Most no longer believe in any Political Leader, they have given up on Politics and have almost given up on Democracy.

But some of us haven’t, although tempted, still believe in the Ballot Box and within that number, there is even a smaller number who believe in honest Politics.

They have the temerity to believe quality is more important than quantity and I am so proud to believe in that group.

It’s a hard slog and a slow one but to know you are on the right side of history is a great honour in today’s society. *

Righteousness is normally used in a Religious setting, but it is also used in a Moral setting and there is none so righteous as those that stand up for the protection of women and children.

Having experienced male violence myself I do not just stand on the sidelines and shout about a theory, I know how broken ribs feel, I know how a pregnant woman feels after being thrown down a stairs.

It is because of those memories I demand our Politicians be Righteous and moral people, man or woman!

Until they can prove they are, their Sound Bites on any subject will just remain empty words.
