15th October
Met a few neighbours last night when I took the dog for a walk.
No one mentioning politics thankfully.
Jeremy Hunt, the new chancellor (for how long), being interviewed on Sky this morning, defending the PM (for how long) and the mini budget. Painful to listen to. Up to the point at which I turned it off he was rehashing the same old government line. ‘We have to look at the context in which all of this has happened ….. the not-a-budget-mini-budget provided relief for energy bills….the PM has only been in office for five weeks (and don’t we know it).’ Does Hunt really think this narrative is going to work? Although the truth would hurt worse I expect. ‘The PM is fucking useless’.
Why does the dog all of a sudden insist on going walkies, and usually in the rain.
Robbie Coltrane has died. Big man, big actor the press is saying. I wonder if his weight caused any health issues.
Just look at those eyes, and that whimpering. No, I’m not taking you for a walk, it’s raining.
Luckily I didn’t get that wet.
Interesting how the political narrative has developed during the day.
Hunt seems to be dumping many of the original proposals from the not-a-budget-mini -budget.
Is this a palace coup?
Where is Liz (not the dead one, although there is a growing similarity between that corpse and the PM)?
Is Hunt now effectively ‘the leader’?
Will he appear with a white cat on his lap, introducing a new not-a-government shadow government?
Will Liz officially be downgraded or will she shuffle on as nominal head?
Well at least it’s all a bit more fun.
Evening walk with the dog, in the rain.
Although I’m a news addict, I find it strange that when you meet the neighbours or other stupid dog walkers (a reflection of myself) they never or rarely ever mention what’s going on in the news. It’s almost as if that is a foreign country, with events taking place elsewhere. Given the fact that the average house price on the estate is south of £340 000, there must be loads feeling the pain.
Saw a dog card in the Garden Centre with the phrase ‘even if your poor, if you have a dog you are rich’.
Nope, substitute ‘rich’ with even ‘poorer’.
