I'm looking forward to a week where I can report bad behaviour from Tories, Liberals, Greens, or Farage's bunch; but for the moment it's only the Socialists who provide anything news-worthy, and even that isn't very exciting.
British Birmingham MP (yes, British) Tahir Ali, has been campaigning to build a new airport in Kashmir. WHAT? It seems that many of his Pakistani Birmingham constituents have to travel for many hours to get to their nearest airport before returning to Birmingham from their Pakistani homes. Ali has already been in trouble over his silly Kashmir airport nonsense, so I won't make it any worse for him; but shouldn't he be looking after British affairs, not Pakistani ones? Birmingham certainly needs his help; at present it's buried under 17,000 tons of stinking household rubbish, and huge rats are running wild. Apparently the stench is becoming all invasive.
It's good to know that everything's going well in the People's Socialist Republic of Birmingham (an outpost of Pakistan).
This one's a classic. After the disgraceful expenses claim by Tory MP Peter Viggers, back in 2009, for a 'Duck Island and Duck House', we now have another crazy expenses claim from fragrant Socialist MP Taiwo Owatemi for £900 for her doggy-woggy Cockapoo 'Bella'. Her charming second-home landlord has imposed an extra £900 'dog-rent' for Bella, and Owatemi wanted us taxpayers to fork-out. Is that really what MP's 'expenses' are for? Shame on her!
It's all going to hell in a handcart, I hope you have your box of three days emergency rations.
ReplyDeleteI've not bothered as neither the EU or our "Expert" Moribund have said what will happen on day four.
We've just been discussing the emergency rations. Lady M thinks I should buy mountains of bottled water, but I expect by the time I go shopping again, it'll be sold out!
DeleteWine then it is!
DeleteI'm on a wine-diet. I need to lose some weight.
DeleteSounds fun. Just living on wine. :)
DeleteA no-wine-diet sadly. I would prefer the alternative.
DeleteBuy up all those bargain shares now and get rich!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't trade any more, in my younger days I'd have been going crazy!
DeleteYou missed Labour MP Dan Norris arrested.
ReplyDeleteWhy have you ceased calling Labour Labour? I don't get it. Have I missed a renaming of the Party by Starmer?
ReplyDeleteI've just added Norris to my next Sunday's resumé. I prefer to call them Socialists because it describes them better. 'Labour' makes them sound as if they're the party of 'the working man'; which they certainly aren't.
DeleteHaven't you seen that many of the countries that have had tariffs imposed by the president are now making a deal with him?
ReplyDeleteI expect they'll all try to; whether Tr*mp will play game is another question.
DeleteI think that IS his game.;)
DeleteI almost hope it is; otherwise he's a plonker!
DeleteYesterday EM told the world that US and EU are going to be trading partners. Everything is negotiable. Sounds like EM is playing good cop and DT bad cop. Let's run the country the new and improved way!
ReplyDeleteI think it'll take a while to get things settled. I thought EM was backing out a bit; he was too present in the Oval Office.
