AFTER the Clinton/Trump farrage, I have been completely disillusioned by politics.

I don't think I will vote again, after all we, the general public, are treated like uncomprehending sheep!

For example under the dying Obama administration Russia was portrayed as the Great Satan, first because it defied NATO's incursion into its former satellite, Ukraine; secondly because of its involvement in Syria, albeit as an ally; thirdly because all of its athletes' drug enhancers, fourthly because it was inferred in the US election; and fifthly because Trump was in collusion with Putin after being compromised by Russian prostitutes. Hello, what is going on. Politics is certainly a nasty game.

Meantime, here at home it does not get any better with the wee lassies Sturgeon, Dugdale and Davidson throwing the dirt at one another in the highly paid pantomime that is that is the Scottish Parliament.

Over the past few weeks, on waking at 7am I have been aware of what sounds like a low key industrial drone or hum interspersed with a few seconds of silence.

It seems to be in, or close by, to Cowdenbeath. Is this sound due to the encroachment of wind farms, Bellway's construction of new homes, or unsolicited fracking by the Chuck Brothers, Salmond and Sturgeon? Perhaps my fellow citizens could enlighten me.
