5th October
Truss has lasted a month. Or thereabouts. Can you believe it ?
She is ‘setting out her vision for her government and the country’ at the party conference today (hope it’s not a case of ‘should have gone to Specsavers’).
So, she set out her vision and branded anyone against it as part of anti-growth Britain.’ Two Greenpeace protestors removed from the conference hall for waving a ‘Who voted for this’ banner’. Just about says it all.
The Tory party at the moment really feels like ‘dead woman walking’. One of those no return moments. Don’t you just feel a need for change. Or maybe you don’t. Maybe it’s just that most of the people I speak to think the same as me – I count my 14 year old niece out of this because she just believes everything she sees on YouTube.
The next vaccine roll out is just another attempt by the government to poison large swathes of the population / get rid of the old / turn us into zombies – NO.
The former queen is not really dead; Charles got fed up waiting around and had her kidnapped and locked away at a secret location – NO.
Environmental catastrophe is a myth – it would have rained heavily and flooded in those far off places anyway – NO.
Truss is proof of extra-terrestrial life. Okay, I had to think for a few minutes before actually concluding MAYBE or NO to that one, veering towards the maybe.
Just to note from yesterday’s post, when I said ‘lovely brown eyes’, I meant the dog and not Maisie.
There are now no cash points in the village. The one at the post office was removed last week.
Official report out saying that rugby and football playing can leave you with brain damage. I think the kids who are stealing refuse bins must all be sports players.
Putin has cancer. He has been visited by a cancer specialist umpteen times and bathes in deer blood to ward it off. That sounds like either wishful thinking or YouTube news. I’ll check the COOP for deer blood.
The sale of Twitter is back on for Elon Musk. Couldn’t he do something more useful with his billions. I hope he does not read this, given his response to criticism.
I’m thinking of sending some Christmas cards out today – partly as a joke, but also partly because with 19 days of postal strikes in the offing I’d like them to get there before 2023.
Angela fell over in the garden. I was out filling the bird feeders. Looking through the slats in the fence. I could see her lying on the ground. I went round with a neighbour and we both helped her up – I know first aid would say leave the victim lying on the ground and phone for help – but with Angela shouting ‘Just fucking help me up, I’m not waiting weeks for a fucking ambulance’ we both acquiesced. Doubtful if she would have signed a disclaimer, ‘If I die my neighbours are not to blame.’
