It's been a funny old week in The People's Republic of Great Britain.
Wes Streeting, our current Health Minister, is looking to imitate Gordon Brown's disastrous privatisation schemes (PFI) for the NHS, and is suggesting that he will invite yet more private money into the system.
Since Gordon Brown's days we still owe £160 Billion on private investments worth £57 Billion. A disaster in anyone's language. Yet Streeting intends to lumber the British taxpayer with even more privatisation debt of the same ilk. I can remember when Labour used to constantly accuse the Tories of wishing to privatise the NHS. What a joke!
An Algerian Asylum-Seeker, Khaled Aribi, was found dead this week, suspended from a skylight in a house he'd broken into. Aribi broke into the uninhabited house through the roof, and became suspended from the Velux-type skylight. Unable to free himself he died several days later, suspended in the air. An estate agent, who was showing some potential buyers around the home, discovered his lifeless body. Don't laugh!
The leader of the Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has blasted 'The UK government's poisonous woke culture', and the Left's 'useful idiots' who promote it. She has warned Britain that "The very fabric of Western Civilisation could soon be lost". Well, Kemi, I think you might be a tad too late dear. The damage has been done, and cannot be undone. Warnings were given, and ignored. There is little point giving even more warnings after the horse has bolted. Even over in the USA, J D Vance asked the question "Which will be the first Muslim country to have a nuclear weapon?". His answer... "The UK".
A whole week couldn't go by without news of more disasters from Downing Street. 'Rachel from Accounts' new Education Tax is apparently predicted to send inflation soaring to a 10 month high, and dear Angela Rayner's new Workers Rights Bill is set to make 1/3rd of small business-owners reduce their staff.
And we now hear that it's not only the fragrant 'Reeves and Rayner' who have been caught lying about their qualifications. Jonathan Reynolds MP (also Socialist) has always claimed to have been a Solicitor before becoming an MP; it seems he 'made a mistake'. It doesn't get any better, does it!
And finally, the whole world has been watching the Russia/Ukraine War talks unfold, and maybe I have the solution. Perhaps Putin could be persuaded to keep the areas of Ukraine that he has totally destroyed, and let Zelensky keep the parts that are still untouched and habitable; what's left of them. Sounds fair to me!
I think your final peace deal suggestion sounds fair.
ReplyDeletePutin has destroyed it; he can clean it up.
DeleteYes, I think the final peace deal sounds fair too, well, relatively anyway. Let the Russians clean up their own mess at their own expense!
ReplyDeleteExactly. I know that the UK has frozen £48 Billion Russian money, so that could be used too.
DeleteI've not seen any news this week but this sounds about right for Batshit Bonkers Britain.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't get any better.
DeleteAn "interesting" analysis of the state of the world.
ReplyDelete'Interesting' as in 'Horrendous'.
DeleteYes, your peace deal is an excellent idea Cro. If this is the result every time they invade another country, maybe they'll think twice about setting foot across their own border.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Putin has his eyes on both Estonia and Latvia. Maybe Trump will advise him against.
