No Trusst in clueless politicians
JGOD I’m sick of them...the Government. Not because they’re Tories but because they’re useless and damaging to us, the voters who didn’t even have a say in electing the latest prime ministerial monstrosity; that was down to a tiny cluster of party members who, like the woman they chose, clearly didn’t have a clue.
In general elections, people vote for the party with policies most conducive to the sort of country they want Britain to be, in my case prosperous, fair and comfortable.A society that’s confident, kind and proud of itself, with a good educational system and an efficient NHS.A place where young people can be aspirational and successful, but where we also take care of the vulnerable.
Most people aren’t political nerds. Most of us don’t want theory; we want a government to smooth the machinery of society so we can get on with our lives, earn a living, buy a home, send our children to a good local school.
We want a friendly GP who’ll cure us when we’re ill, and excellent hospitals if we need more specialised care.What are we getting right now? A society in chaos, a place where government ministers spend their time slinging mud at each other, so obsessed with the media bubble that they’ve forgotten about the rest of us, anxious about mortgages, unaffordable energy and the cost of living. We want to feel that our Government is trying to help, that they owe us their full attention. It’s called leadership. Instead they fight each other over arcane economic theory. I’m not a lab rat and I don’t want to live in a political experiment. I don’t want my elected ministers at each other’s throats, destroying each other about free markets, interest rates, ideology and tax cuts.
This may be enormously interesting to economists, to people who are selfrighteously left or right-wing, but most of us are somewhere in between. Since Brexit something terrible has happened to politicians. They’re detached from reality, infighting to the death.
While the people they’re paid to represent look in vain for a ray of hope to get us through the winter.
JTHE ridiculous Rebekah Vardy, whose libel case against Coleen Rooney failed spectacularly when the High Court dismissed her evidence as “implausible” and “manifestly inconsistent”, must pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal fees.
Since Vardy’s footballer husband Jamie presumably earns the bulk of their cash I shouldn’t think domestic harmony reigns at their Portuguese villa right now, as friends reckon they’ll have to sell it. It’s worth two million quid.
Vardy’s total bill is estimated at more than £3million, but I guess it’s a start. Lord, what fools these mortals be!
