Sometimes I get mad. It is normally when someone gets laid out to be the fall guy as Sir Olly Robbins has just been over the 'The Mandelson Affair'. Listening to Robbins, the poor man being grilled by the foreign affair committee yesterday, he was at a loss to see what he had done.. Sorry sweetheart someone has to take the can, and as Starmer bluster's his way through, my only reaction is, is that it is not important. Everyone knew Mandelson is the court jester, he was being sent out to butter up Trump, and sending a rogue to meet a rogue was not exactly what I would have done;) But then government is always practical if not downright dishonest.
My simple question is this morning why are there so many bloody rogues to begin with? How come Trump has not been given his marching orders just as Liz Truss and her sidekick Kwatang had been unceremoniously dumped by the Conservative party as they upended the economy of this country. Truss had 45 days in power, the lifetime of a fresh lettuce apparently. The time when the party began its great fall from power.
My feelings on Starmer is that he is like a slow clumsy elephant in the china shop but this bitching in parliament really has to stop and they ALL put their minds to the proper running of this country.
Something gentler later on...
Starmer claimed that with him it was "adults back in the room" - there are many adjectives that I can think of to describe him and his government, but adult is not amongst them. We should have seen him for what he was, like his empty manifesto he's just an empty, useless windbag,with seriously deficient judgement. Anyone with half a brain cell and paying attention over the past two decades would have realised that Mandelson was totally unsuitable for the job of US ambassador.
ReplyDeleteLiars, scoundrels and charlatans, which is a disservice to the many decent politicians. I remember the lettuce and it was very amusing. What a pity our late queen had to deal with Truss, especially after Johnston. While not to the extent of across the pond, you are living in interesting times.
ReplyDeletePolitics is a dirty game, and only gets dirtier as people climb the slippery pole. Olly Robbins acquitted himself well, and the afternoon debate in Parliament was a demonstration of collective anger. PMQs might be interesting today, though doubtless Starmer will again not answer any questions and simply refer, again and again, to the woeful state the Conservatives left the country in. Doesn't every government do the same? We never go into a new government with everything being tickety boo. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose . . . 😟
