SOME PEOPLE HAVE SHORT MEMORIES - PART 2

Before Sunak was made PM, there was a suggestion that Boris Johnson would return to power.  He was being supported by party officials who seem to have forgotten what he was like when he was last in office, only 7 weeks previously.

Don't they remember that it was they that had sacked him?  He was fined for breaking the law (that he had written), he is still being investigated for misleading parliament and he was constantly apologising or blaming others for his mistakes.

YOU JUST HAVE TO QUESTION THE THINKING, AND MORALS, OF SOME OF OUR POLITICIANS.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE SHORT MEMORIES

Rishi Sunak has just been announced as the new prime minister.  Opposition parties, particularly Labour, say that he has never been voted into the post and are screaming that an election should take place.

I seem to remember that when Tony Blair remitted office in 2007, Gordon Brown was foisted on us without a general election and remained Prime Minister until the 2010 General election.

AN EXAMPLE OF DO WHAT WE SAY, NOT WHAT WE DO

IT'S VANDALISM, NOT PROTEST - PART 2

Our friendly "Just Stop Oil" protesters decided to decorate an Aston Martin showroom in London by spraying orange paint on it's windows then followed the groups M.O. by glueing themselves to the street outside.

In another act of peaceful protest "Animal Protest" vandals entered supermarkets all over the UK and poured milk from the shelves, all over the floor.  How does this help animals?

The courts should take a stern view of these clowns and, as well as issuing an appropriate sentence, should order them to pay for undoing their stupidity.

THESE IDIOTS SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

IT'S VANDALISM, NOT PROTEST

The latest staged events by, so called, protesters are nothing less than vandalism.

Two "Just Stop Oil" protesters entered the National Gallery in London and threw tins of tomato soup onto the painting of "The Sunflowers" by Van Gough then glued themselves to the wall.

The police freed them from the glue and arrested them.  Personally I would just have left them there,  stuck to the wall, with their tomato soup for sustenance.

DO THESE IDIOTS REALISE THAT THEIR "ORGANISATION IS AGAINST DRILLING FOR OIL, NOT AGAINST USING OIL TO PAINT PICTURES IN 1887?

MINI BUDGETS OR FISCAL POLICY?

The new Chancellor of the Exchequer  has, in three days, thrown out all the policies set by his predecessor and presented a completely different vision for the country's finances going forward. 

Every minister in HM government is dependent on their advisors and officers to set out options and advise them on the best way forward.

So, the people who advised Kwasi Kwarteng on his disastrous and ill fated fiscal policy are the same people that have devised Jeremy Hunt's attempt?

How come they didn't give the same advice to Kwarteng and save him the igmony and embarrassment of being sacked, OR did they, and he thought he knew better?

WE NEED ADVISORS GIVING BEST ADVICE AND POLITICIANS THAT LISTEN.

IT'S A TV DRAMA

Some commentators are getting in a tizz because Netflix are making a drama about the royal family - "The Crown"

Apparently the script writers are using poetic licence and some of the scenes are not historically correct.  The media are suggesting that this might undermine and have a detrimental effect on the Royal family.

Well feel free to set me straight but, isn't "The Crown" a drama and not a documentary?

How can the figment of someone's imagination undermine the establishment?  

It isn't real, it didn't happen, IT'S FICTION.  Do the same critics not want to live in Emmerdale because of the number of disasters, or in Midsomer because of the murder rate?

GET A GRIP AND RECOGNISE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FACT AND FICTION.

TIME FOR SOME UNITY

There is no doubt that the UK is in financial trouble at this moment.  The cost of living is rising faster than a Gregg's roll, and inflation is reaching an all time high.

Now is maybe the time for our politicians to ditch their party loyalties and all get round the table to get us out of this mess.

Watching them bickering, arguing, mocking each other and trying to point score will NEVER solve our issues.

THEY ARE ELECTED BY US TO LOOK AFTER THE PEOPLE AND THE INTERESTS OF THIS COUNTRY, THEY SHOULD ALL BE WORKING TOGETHER TO THAT END.

U TURNS ARE US

Less than a week after declaring that he was abolishing the 45% upper tax rate, Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, has announced a "U" turn.

Political opponents are jumping on the band wagon to mock the government and call for Kwarteng's resignation.  These are the same opponents that were howling about how unfair the abolition was when first announced.

I don't think it should have been considered but I, for one, am pleased to see the government recognise their mistake and rectify it.

RATHER THEY LOSE FACE AND U TURN THAN TRY AND BRAZEN OUT A MISTAKE
