  3. Thanks, Charles. All wise men! I so appreciate living in a democracy in Spain. I have to stop myself getting too emotional over the autocracy which is over-taking sanity in the world. Power-mad and greedy men should (somehow) not be allowed to dictate their iron-hold on humanity. If only! Sincerely, Joy.

  10. I don’t think there is much freedom of the press now and most of what the press seem to print is fake anyway. I have been able to prove this a few times in my career when I’ve had the inside track on a financial story. I don’t even read the news any more.
