Forget holidays Boris, you’ve got a job to do

WHO the heck is advising our Prime Minister? Your recent holiday was not a good idea, mate, with people struggling to get away or worrying about the cost of everything rising – food, heating, travelling, the whole lot.

Boris, get a grip. You are in probably the most stressful job you are ever going to have and you don’t have time for holidays or telling people you’re just human. You are the Prime Minister. You need to lead from the front. Why one of your stupid little advisers hasn’t told you that this is damaging your image, I have no idea.

I’m sure we’d all like a holiday but most probably don’t have the money to take one. You must kick the European dictatorship into touch. You promised to take VAT off many items if we left the EU. Come on, mate, do something that makes us all feel great in the run-up to Christmas. You’re the boss. What you say goes.

WHAT on earth is a life turning into when you can’t use the phrase “ladies and gentlemen”? We are getting beyond ridiculous, aren’t we? As I wrote elsewhere some traditions must be moved on from, but this surely is not one of them.

What are they planning on saying? Ladies and gentlemen of whatever sexual persuasion or gender you feel you are? This whole politically correct nonsense is beginning to annoy me more and more. It seems to be the Human Resources departments of big corporations that are behind it.

Now apparently nobody can be upset, which is probably why we’re all in the situation we are. Can we just stop this moaning every time we get offended? Just move on. As it is, every time you criticise somebody you are accused of bullying.

We have become such a wet society now that I just hope there is not another war. Not sure most of us would cope. Could you imagine the woke brigade being called up? Nor can I.
