I want to say Victoria?, but I'm sure I'm wrong. She was a couple of years dead, then, and not a nice looking middle aged woman. I wonder why the netting. Surely not to keep out birds. Nice earrings! Diamonds and sapphires, I'm sure.
Yes, HIM Victoria. Her Imperial Majesty - always confuses the tourists. I believe she died in 1901. Portraits of Queens are always flattering. Look at our coins and stamps.
Oh and yes - the netting is to keep birds out. One year we were just about to leave for the airport when I saw a pigeon trapped in it. We didn't have time to do anything so I told a neighbour. After we had gone the fire service was called and they spent half an hour up a ladder freeing it with the local newspaper looking on. As soon as they left, the bird flew back behind the netting. It wanted to be there.
All that appears to be coming out of the back stabbing is that none of them have the slightest idea how to get us out of the EU and they are a bunch of liars when they say they do know and he or she will be the one to get us out by 31 Oct. (I am not sure of the significance of that date but it seems to be bandied about a lot).
April fools day was the first deadline, now Hallowe'en is the latest. Yes, they care more about their careers than their country as always. Having said, "Fuck Business " Boris now portrays himself as their saviour. Cunt.
The reason he said that was because he knew the vote would come from the 'people' not business advisors who - mostly - said that Brexit would harm business.
That was, in case you had not noticed, a rhetorical question. The correct (and only believable) answer is 'no'.
ReplyDeleteThat sculpture, btw, was made by an Italian exactly 120 years ago. It beats all the stuff in Parliament Square eh?

DeleteWhy don't they simply say they're ALL standing, then put names into a hat.
ReplyDeleteMany backs have to be stabbed first.
DeleteI cannot imagine why anyone would want the job. The Europe problem has destroyed all Tory prime ministers since (and including) Margaret Thatcher.
ReplyDeleteJust shows what preening, ambitions politicians have - talk about fiddling while Rome burns!
Now it has destroyed the party itself.

DeleteA candidate for the leadership of the Lib Dems said that the country needs an opposition to nationalist and popularist politics now. She's right.
