Why are we stumbling from one crisis to another? Even British Democracy is under existential threat?
BOOSTER JAB
HILARIOUS and SABATICALS FOR MINISTERS
Dominic Raab thinks it is important to have someone who has some knowledge of what is going on in BVI. General consensus in even the nasty party seems to be that serious questions need to be asked about his commitment to constituents. I suspect that he charges about £1000 an hour and therefore rationalised that he should only spend 70 hours a year dealing with constituents.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
An old but interesting subject. RollsRoyce are going ahead with a part government funded scheme to develop mini nuclear reactors. In many ways this seems to make sense, an emergency would be presumably on a smaller scale. There has been no reports of what to do with the waste – but given urgency in replacing fossil fuels and long term battery storage and hydrogen fuels still in the ‘promising’ class it would seem to make sense. How I hate admitting that the government might have got something right!
JOHNSON’S TIME RUNNING OUT
With the Daily Mail and The Times running front page articles about the sleaze in the Tory Party I suspect that our PM may soon retire and make a profitable living with after dinner speeches and (to him) witty newspaper articles. Unlike other ex-PM’s he is unlikely to be asked about policy or anything intelligent! It is possible he will head for a safe haven with no extradition treaty with the UK.
CLEMENTINES
I just received my box of organic clementines direct from an organic farm in Murcia – exciting.
FOOTBALL BLAGGING
Elon Musk
Just noting this – he is selling 10% of his stake, worth $21 billion, following a twitter poll. 3.5million voted! Why? Who cares? He is just having fun before having to pay a bi tax bill and repay some loans in August. He will still be worth , sorry I will rephrase that, his financial wealth, will still be around the $300 billion mark. Although that is probably just Monopoly money as he could not cash it all in at that price – could he?
WEETABIX
The average Briton eats 336 weetabix biscuits a year.
JOBS
Appointments to top jobs with salaries funded by the tax payer should go to the most able and qualified for the post. Common sense? Not for this government where top posts go to those who fund the nasty party. Some jobs require intellect and judgement, and yet they are being chosen by dimwits like useless Eustace who will select the new head of OFWAT to ensure that they continue to pump human shit into our rivers and seas. It seems the sole role here is to decide what is a fair return with dividends to shareholders, and to keep water costs within manageable levels, and shit on the environment.
