Day 261
Today the word is: MERRYNEUM the blurry space between Christmas and New Year!
We have not, with very few exceptions, trusted our politicians for many years. Which begs the question why would you want to be one? You have to wonder why you would aspire to high office or becoming PM? One assumes that these men and women are in the most part intelligent, educated people who whilst they maybe privileged have some real desire to govern fairly? There are genuine MP’s and other council members and officials who try their best to help. Why is it then that we view almost every minister in this current government (and all the previous ones) as shady, inept, self-serving, heartless, corrupt, liars and unable to negotiate in any meaningful way? The old saying is there if it looks like a fish, behaves like a fish, smells like a fish, then it must be a fish! In other words we can’t all be wrong in our assessment! Still we keep voting them into power, why? Frankly I have given up trying to explain it. There is a fundamental lack of choice and a deep seated mistrust of the opposition that at present they just cannot shake. If you were writing a fictional account of a strange political governance you could not write one as strange as this lot. If you are the head of state of another country and you met our PM you would surely wonder how the British could have voted for him? This man and his ministers are the representatives of our country, just think about that! We may laugh and shrug at this bumbling haystack of a man but he is the PM! Look at those statesman’s and women who have come before him and then ask yourself why him? Times change and people change with them but in this country we seem perpetually stuck in a loop of Conservatism!
Stay well
