That tearful display by Stratton...Yes, some circus. That tearful display by Stratton was really about getting found out because it crushed her cushy number long before she planned to leave. There is no doubt that within Government circles more people knew about events, even when they did not attend,than those who were genuinely unaware. The whole shambles is rotten to the core and these pigs will ride their comfortable majority for as long as it lasts. I also get the feeling that Starmer hasn't really got the stomach for taking over the job of leading the UK because he too doesn't have much of a clue about steering a vehicle that feels like the engine has seized up. There was a time when a party of government might contain a core of (relatively)trustworthy and competent elements. I'm buggered if I can see such people among this moronic lot. Could they even muster an 8 man crew without sinking the boat ? Hard to get a decent 4 man(or person) crew together.<br /><br />Speaking of boats - imagine the Mistress of the Manche - the equally odious Priti Patel taking over from Boris sometime soon. Strong on the sort of rhetoric that goes down well with Tories deprived of any critical faculties she has the capacity to take the country into even deeper depths of shite. <br /><br />As Eric Burdon said over 50 years ago "We gotta get out of this place...."dafishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216920242825385976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-2260132780516539402021-12-10T08:54:35.040+00:002021-12-10T08:54:35.040+00:00"...about what happens when a lying and incom..."...about what happens when a lying and incompetent clown gets elected to an office..." <br /><br />A significant number of voters knew he was a lying and incompetent clown before voting in a way that won him the last election. I'd like to see this pointed out by the media. It seems the electorate is beyond reproach.<br />Who's ultimately responsible the clown or those who bought tickets to the circus.CapMnoreply@blogger.com
