Since you-know-what, I have taken to sitting around in the street watching people. I don't mean on the street - I'm not that far-gone - I mean on public benches and outdoor cafes. Also because of -you-know-what (I am utterly bored with hearing the word every minute of every day) more cafes are putting tables and chairs outside as they would have done years ago were it not for our council's rigid rules about pavement space.
At the beginning of the era which must not be named, police would ride around on bicycles and threaten to fine anyone who had the audacity to sit on a bench in public. Some benches were even taped-off by jobsworths. Now, as they tighten up legislation in one area, they relax it in another. I think we would reach breaking point if they didn't. I think we might anyway. Manchester is on the edge of insurrection.
There was a rally of support for Donald Trump in London the other day. No, seriously, it's true. It was organised by some of the craziest conspiracy theorists that this country has to offer. One English nutter was interviewed by that sinister organisation which is controlled by alien lizards, the BBC.
When asked why he supported Trump's attempt to rule the USA for another four years, he said, "He is the MESSIAH!" The interviewer was probably not allowed to say, 'He is not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy'. What a wonderful, typically English opportunity gone to waste.
The conspiracy theorists that Trump supports in his own country believe that Hilary Clinton runs a Democrat paedophile ring from the basement of a pizza parlour in Washington. They went to the place and found that it doesn't even have a basement. That didn't stop a deranged Republican from going in and firing a gun at all those alien child-molesters. He didn't miss, but the bullets seemed to have no effect on them.
Times like these bring out the hero in everyone.
Oh! Look! Is that William Shatner up

If I could think of an appropriate comment for this I would say it, Willie.
DeleteI will never understand how this man ever made the cut to become a Republican nominee, let alone be elected president. This country has been brought to its knees in ever way you can imagine, and yet he still has his cult. Bewildering. Frightening. I pray this election votes him out. Then I pray that he actually leaves quietly.
ReplyDeleteHis cult is based on anger, hatred and low self-esteem. His followers identify with that.
DeleteWilliam Shatner was wasted on Star Trek, he came into his own in Boston Legal.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Boston Legal, but I don't think you could have had a better Star Trek captain. He introduced humour where it was not supposed to be.
DeleteYour last question begs the question where do us heroines stand in all this?
ReplyDeleteSide by side with us heroes.
DeleteTrump has threatened to leave the US if he loses the election. Make sure he knows we do not want him here. He has already got golf courses x 2 in Scotland where I live thats 2 too many.
ReplyDeleteIf he came to Scotland I think that Scotland would deal with him far better than England would.
DeleteOn our Nat'l Pub. Radio the other day, they broadcast audio of a speaker in Trafalgar who is a believer in QAnon as he yelled about the pedophiles who were plotting to operate on children and remove their adrenal glands and then to implant them in adults (Democrats of course) in order to improve their adrenaline production. Still wondering how this conspiracy theory trash has escaped across the ocean.
ReplyDeleteTrump refuses to denounce QAnon, just says he's against pedophilia. What a world.
The way things are going we are going to import a lot more of the worst aspects of America very shortly.
DeleteThose QAnon are true nutters, to borrow the noun, and I do hope you delete this remark if you think I should have said "you know who".
ReplyDeleteI couldn't remember what they called themselves.
DeleteA Python reference would have gone down a treat, I expect. Shame.
ReplyDeleteI hear-tell that some 'Christians' believe that the US Constitution was delivered to us by (white) Jesus. That British kook on the BBC probably believes such nonsense as well.
In the old days, these kooks used to stand on a soapbox to rant at Hyde Park Corner. Now they run the country.
