Britain - For Sale
Yes kids the circus is coming to town, readying to hit your streets, your mass media, your shopping centres and your homes. You have been warned !
But it won’t be a circus in a good way. Nothing like the usual fun fair with the tombola, hurdy-gurdy, the Ferris Wheel, the itinerant entertainments that gave rise to the saying “all the fun of the fair”.
No this is the next British election, and it will be anything but fun. Firstly not enough people can be bothered to get off their arses and go have a look at what’s on offer, The newspapers, TV and radio will already have a winner in mind and will be pushing their own barrow, not the party or candidate that will be good for their readers/viewer but whoever will be best for the paper/TV station/radio station. Secondly those who have had a look at the entertainments on offer a lot don’t bother going to the pitch before kick-off. But here’s where I get a bit hot and bothered, the few that do front on the day, pay for their ticket at the gate and go through the turnstiles will be grabbed at the entrance and ushered over to one of two sides.
On the one hand there’s a tired old ride, it’s been around the block a couple of times, it’s a bit shabby, tired and worse-for-wear the other is flash, never ridden and shiny. Standing in front of the old ride as a dour, dull sort of chap, quite un-enthused by the prospect of anyone hopping on and seemingly unsurprised that no-one does.
The other guy however is quite the lad, new suit, polished shoes all in all quite an attractive sort of a chap. But, and this is a huge ‘but’ this ride lasts for years and years once you’ve hopped into the seat and as Paul Keating (one of the better Australian Prime Ministers) said “you change the Government and you change the country” and that’s what will happen.
Again, this was started last July, never got around to getting it done, read this instead
have some of the pictures I was going to use anyway – enjoy the ride !!
Doesn’t he look absolutely magnificent, a fine figure of a man ! – of course I have my tongue firmly in my cheek this is how a private school bully appears to the masters of his college the day before annual Parent Teacher day and this spiv knows that his Mummy and Daddy paid for the polo kit so he can get away with absolutely anything, including beating up on the first form boys.
Here’s a more appropriate photo
This is the Iron Lady an inspiration to bullies everywhere
and something more recent, but just as appropriate
