Bribery, bloodshed, Stone Age values, corruption, anarchy…
No, not Game of Thrones, just a comment on the Prime Minister’s disastrous European dealings and her alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party.
I feel ashamed to be governed by these idiots and soiled by the way the future of the country is being decided by the bigots of the DUP.
There was a time when you bribed someone and they stayed bribed but after Theresa May secured the votes of the DUP with promises of billions in aid, they now turn round and are likely to betray her.
At one time you could rely on the venality of politicians, promise some cash and some knighthoods and carry the day.
What is happening.
We even have a power-crazed person of restricted growth – in our case The Speaker, rather than Tyrion Lannister.
Idiots!
Can’t decide if I would trade you…probably!
Tricky. You have better fast food, and I could live in a nice warm desert (much as I love Laurie she’s really put me off Maine). It might be worth moving…
There are places, but we’re in the midwest, you’d hate our winters…southwest is pretty and I’d take that over southeast!
Yes, I’d agree about not liking winter in the midwest. 🙂
Game of Thrones – my kids watch that. They warned me off of it , though. Can you imagine we pay these people to work for us?
If only…
They say that art imitates life, after seeing a commercial where the house of commons is depicted as being full of hyenas monkeys etc I wonder?
Even as I read that comment the comparison seems so right. 🙂
After a while, one hardly knows how to respond. Across the pond, many of us are anxiously watching your country’s goings-on while at the same time watching our country’s convulsions. What a time!
The whole world is going mad, and after laughing at the Americans for electing an idiot we now realise we elected 600 of them. 🙂
Sigh.
We will get through it. Keep writing, I need an uplifting book to read.
Thanks, Quercus!
🙂
P.S. A malicious idiot.
We must stay strong and refuse to be ground down. 🙂
We have our own problems over on this side of the Pond. 🙂
Yes, we are all in the middle of a rather surreal time. 🙂
We are witnessing the death of democracy as we know it
That’s ,y conclusion too – a very sad time.
And so say all of us, I’ve spent years telling people they must vote, that people died to get us the vote; now? I’ll probably never vote again 😩
Same here – I always go down on polling day though I have been known to write a message rather than vote. I may well spoil all my papers from now on, though I will still go to the polling station to show my Chartist roots.
Haha like the idea of a message Then I was thinking vote independent? 😀
If you vote, you are just encouraging them. 🙂
I feel your pain.
I just can’t believe what a pig’s ear they are making of it.
