There had been few sales, despite us being closed yesterday. Summer is always quiet and when you add the Russian Roulette nature of holidays at the moment (will the flight be cancelled, will the queues be huge?), the cost of living crisis they keep talking about, the war, covid . . . Well, it’s a wonder anyone ever feels like doing anything.
I feel like doing something, I feel like being a highly paid parasite, which is fortunate as there seem to be quite a few jobs going in Westminster at the moment. A whole new set of career opportunities has opened up for me. Boris, betraying a total lack of class is ignoring Macbeth (’twere well It were done quickly) and hanging about like a bad smell. He’s either hoping that we will forget he’s supposed to go, or he is trying to book dates for his forthcoming speaking tour.
We had a parent like that in Midlands Rugby League once. He was convinced that his younger son was fated to be a great rugby player. The kids was, in truth, mediocre – a good club player but not worth a step up to regional level. He hadn’t made it to county level in Rugby Union and they saw RL as the route to the top.
So, he came to the regional trials and was duly thanked for his efforts, but told he wouldn’t be required in the second round. He still turned up the next week, and once again, missed the cut, being thanked for his efforts and told he wouldn’t be required in the next round. This time I made a point of it, to avoid any misunderstanding.
Imagine my surprise when, the next week, I noticed his father lurking behind a shrubbery. He had decided to come back anyway and put his kid into the next round. It’s nice to have supportive parents, but there are limits.
And that’s how I feel about Boris. It’s good that he enjoys being Prime Minister, but there are limits. Fortunately, with him being born in New York, he can go and bother the Americans, as he attempts to be the first man since George III to be head of state both in UK and America. I doubt it will end well, but recent events in both countries suggest that the joke candidate does well.
I think this time the Tory Party will try to avoid a leader who is a clear reprobate. It would help Labour too much.
Charisma, integrity, vision . . .
You do realise these are politicians do you? 🙂
Well, like everyone, there are gradients…,
🙂 You really are an optimist . . .
I am an optimist, that is true 😊

I had forgotten he was born over here. Life can throw some interesting things at one now and then.
I wouldn’t mind throwing him to you . . .
We already have enough problems… 🙂

It is my view that he will wait until we have had a good look at his possible replacements and then announce triumphantly that he is going to stand for the job himself. When you look at the replacements, he might easily get voted back in.
I am amazed by the ethnic diversity of the hopefuls, and by the fact I haven’t heard of most of them. Yes, it could well be a crafty plot. It would be in character.
Aren’t they all joke candidates in the end?
True, but some stand out from the crowd.
