Hat-trick of justice for three entitled, rich, unwise men
THERE’S a moment, growing up, when every child realises a harsh truth – life’s not fair.
So it’s time to appreciate something unusual: a magical hat-trick of justice.
This has been a fantastic week for rich, entitled blokes with unbreakable senses of their own exceptionalism finally getting their comeuppance. Hoorah!
Prince Andrew (or whatever we’re meant to call him now he’s been stripped of all his royal gubbins) has learned he can’t hide behind his mum’s tiara for ever and it looks likely he will face a civil sex abuse trial.
On the bright side, if any news was ever going to cure his medical inability to sweat, it’s presumably this.
There’s “No-Vax” Djokovic having the opposite of a wizard time in Oz, where he’d rocked up to play in the Australian Open. The law that you must be vaccinated to enter the country didn’t mean him though, right? He’s special. But nope, common sense seems to have won in the end. Out! And then our shameful, shameless Prime Minister was shown up for yet again deciding the rules he set for us didn’t apply to him and his Wine Time Friday cronies. Party on, doofus! He not only thought he was above the little people but also the Queen, who stuck to the restrictions on the unhappiest day of her life. Johnson was forced to offer a non-apology, served with the inevitable side order of lies. No point asking what kind of fools he takes us for – he answers with his every action. These three unwise men thought they were able to do whatever they wanted with zero consequences. They thought they were the exception, almost God-like in their untouchability. It’s hard not to hope their falls from grace are just as painful as they should be.
