There is a gale raging outside now and all I really want to do is lie in bed listening to the rain lashing against the window. Sometimes the idea of hibernation is very appealing to me.
Just when you think that the Brexit mess could not get any worse, it gets worse.
Corbyn came up with a good one at last PMQT. In response to Theresa May's assertion that her deal was the best one for the country, Corbyn said that it could not be anything else because it was the only one. Using that criteria, he said, it could also be described as the worst one.
The Governor of the Bank of England has warned us that a disorderly exit from Europe will result in an economic crisis the like of which has not been seen since the Great Depression, but The Sun 'newspaper' says he is talking shite and everything is going to be fine. They have accused him of turning project fear into project hysteria.
Over the years I have come to put more faith in professionals than newspapers belonging to Rupert Murdoch, so I am a little nervous about becoming even poorer than I am already, just before I die.
How can anything so world-alteringly important be so mind-numbingly boring at the same time?
Theresa May has just given in to pressure by Jeremy Corbyn and agreed to have a public debate about Brexit on BBC TV in the near future.
Corbyn has said that the debate would be far better held on the commercial ITV, as a wider range of people (i.e. oiks) watch it rather than BBC 4.
This is really interesting, because all Conservatives accuse the BBC of being biased to the left, and all Labour members accuse it of being biased to the right. Hmm...
Mark Carney should shut up. He isn't worthy of being the Governor of the Bank of England and should go back to Canada. Except they don't want him back
ReplyDeleteThe best news is, you have little or no property to sell. And if you had money to invest, how to know when to pull the trigger and buy, buy, buy. In my opinion, you are in the catbird seat. Better yet, in the hibernation spot, listening to the gale roar.
ReplyDeleteIt is an absolutely awful day here too Tom and probably about ten degrees colder than down in your part of the world. Just the day to get depressed about Brexit. We ought to dig a hole and bury the letters B R E X I T in it and manage without them in future. Who coined the wretched word in the first place anyway?
DeleteHorrid day here today weather wise and we had to go up to the City for finance stuff .... lots of talk of Brexit over an Italian lunch !!! XXXX
ReplyDelete"How can anything so world-alteringly important be so mind-numbingly boring at the same time?" Just what I have been wondering for months!
ReplyDeleteCarney just loves to talk Britain down; he should never have been given that job. Perhaps the May/Corbyn debate should be on the Disney channel.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about Mark Carney. I take no notice of Bank of England governors until they say something which might remotely affect my little life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clusterfuck
ReplyDeleteIs that the same thing as a fuckcluster?
