In our flat, the ghost of Margaret Thatcher instinctively edges toward the power points. She is drawn. She cannot resist.
Exhausted by his 3 hour stand-up set (5 minutes longer than his closest rival), Boris has a well-earned holiday in his generous and recently ennobled friend's luxury villa in Marbella. One swimming pool just isn't enough.
He left his ministers behind to lie about talks with the Treasury to secure a future for vital industries which depend on an affordable power supplies to protect thousands of jobs producing steel. glass and paper, but that's all they were - lies.
His hero and role model - Winston Churchill - on the other hand, spent the entire Blitz in London offices and bunkers, trying to sort the whole thing out to the advantage of the British people, or rather simply just trying to save Britain.
This Prime Minister is not just ill-equipped to run a turkey (or any other sort of) farm, he does not seem to care about anything else other than his own trousers and their ungovernable contents.
On his return he will crow - again - that he has saved Christmas by buying up a load of greenhouse gas to stun the turkeys we all pray we can buy on the most wonderful day of the year.
I don't recall Margaret having such a high forehead! Or is that some sort of cloche perched up there.
ReplyDeleteTom, I hope this settles out some how. And that's all I can say.
We have a great cartoonist here called Steve Bell. This shadow of The Iron Lady looks like one of his.
DeleteAnd no one can say Br... Brx grrrxit wrecks.. brxt ... I can't say it either.
ReplyDeleteEvery time a report comes out about mistakes made and decisions made too late, all it does is confirm what we said at the time.
DeleteIt’s the assertion that all the crap was to be expected, is a price worth paying for a brighter future where we will all be highly skilled on high wages. Nothing like what was actually promised.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that abattoir workers earn around £40k a year. Why then aren't people queuing up to fill the vacancies? It too is a skilled job, requiring two years' training, apparently.
What gets me - and everyone else - is the constant blaming of others for their own incompetent failures.
DeleteYou don't like him then? His untruths and scattered lies will one day come to haunt him when history finally gets its hands on him. All in all it just proves that he is a not very intelligent man and we need a system change. Perhaps we should let the scientists govern on this Science Day.
ReplyDeleteEven the scientists made such poor decisions about the timing of a lockdown that they caused thousands of needles deaths, but when they did start to get a grip, B.J. ignored them in the misguided belief that he would save the economy. He still is. We are waiting for the next u-turn which will come too late.
DeleteYou have expressed exactly what I feel too. Why! oh! why! do people think that BoJo is so great.
ReplyDeleteThey don't.
