Pointless

Clarence here, despairing commentary today as nothing interesting happened.

One leader repeated one thing. the other repeated another.

What does no tax rise for working people even mean? If they don’t pay more who does? Pensioners? Bumblebees?

What Sir Keir actually means is stealth tax, and they get everyone, even those on benefits.

It’s all just vote-grabbing speak.

Wish I could laugh. The audience did jeer at the idea that junior doctors are pushing up waiting lists by not being there and not doing any work. As if not turning up makes a difference. 🙄

This is an eternal dance between politicians and public that’s getting very boring. We’re going to do what we always do, and get what we’ve always got in a different colour tie/outfit. Do they think we won’t recognise them if they wear a different colour?

If you follow their (ridiculous) thinking, perhaps if Sunak wore a red tie he would win. Which would also explain why Starmer wouldn’t dare wear a blue one. The headlines will not read:

“Starmer’s predicted landslide victory melts away due to wrong colour tie. Sunak over the moon at the effect of his (now) lucky red tie. Davey wishes he hadn’t worn a wetsuit.”

As to Reform, how are we to know what to do as we don’t know what colour they are? Perhaps fox hunting red? But that will only cause confusion.

“Millionaire, ex-Conservative but only because he couldn’t win a seat, so not really, wears red tie and accidentally wins the election and unexpectedly becomes leader of a party he hates . Thank God they have Angela Rayner to start undermining him immediately!”

Do you know what really gets to me though? Really REALLY?

I make the effort to climb a tree, I get out my binoculars, I sit on a hard branch, my arse goes numb and what do I see? A Prime Minister eating a Twix!

You wonder why I’m not my usual amusing self? They’re not giving me a chance. Sunak’s not even dancing around with a cucumber doing a rousing rendition of “I will Survive”. So disappointing.

Not one even vaguely ridiculous thing has happened so far except the debates, manifestos, half truths, and the Deputy Labour Leader starting as she means to go on before they’ve even started, by undermining her leader.

She puts the Conservatives to shame.

They’re a special kind of stupid trying to convince us that they can lead a country. They couldn’t lead a parade without the leaders catching up with the rear because they’ve taken a wrong turning and got caught in a one way system of their own making. Which is politics in a nutshell.

I’d roll my eyes again but they’re starting to ache like my butt.

P.S. I’ve tried rolling my butt but I fell out of the tree, I’m not doing that anymore.
