The sayings there is no smoke without fire seems particularly apt this morning. The smoke is pouring in thick clouds from under the door of No 10. Teflon Johnston will probably walk out unharmed, he cares little for any fire burning around him and will piss all over it. I have just read that 4 out 10 people don’t trust the Tories and as the writer said how is it the other 6 do? We seem to be sleepwalking and oblivious to the mess they are making, I cannot believe that this country once so full of righteous indignation and anger at any injustice, are so complacent about our government? The European Super League is announced and there (rightly) are howls of protests, supporters of all rival teams united in their condemnation of the plan but our government makes monumental bad decisions everyday and we do nothing or very little. The majority of us are far too comfortable and consumed with trivialities and the current conditions are not exactly conducive to huge protests (and the law has just been tightened to make it more difficult anyway)
I have moved from the constituency of Michael Ellis and he is no longer my MP, so I cannot as his constituent question him about the governments behaviour or their policies. My good friend Peter sent him an email questioning a bill that went through on the nod asking how such a law could be passed. He got a 5000 word reply, which he worked out had been cut and pasted as the font changed several times! Philip Holobone is now our MP, as you would expect in Northamptonshire he is a Conservative. I shall be writing to him as soon as there is something I feel strongly about other then a the fact that they are in power in the first place! I hope the younger generations are sufficiently engaged to hold these shady politicians to account. I see precious little evidence of such engagement but I would be the first to admit that I am woefully out of touch when it comes to the understanding of younger people.
I urge you to question your representative of which ever stripe. We must hold them all to account! And just so as you don’t think I am a miserable git please enjoy your life and have fun it’s not all doom and gloom even if it feels like it sometimes!!
Stay well
