The Westminster Shenanigans I expect there are a great many people like me watching the soap-opera unfolding in Westminster today. We are still waiting for Johnson as he is getting his suit buttons restored, and his shirt ironed, before coming out to the podium, to resign. I just wish he had stayed till the next general election – he was the best argument Labour could have had for defeating the Tories. However, I suppose the Country is more important than the party. I have a huge confusion in my head – no, no, no – not due to age. I had this cerebral image in my head, long-standing, as I was forcibly fed this lie in History lessons in my schooldays in India. I blame the Sacred Heart. A Mother of Parliament, where democracy prevailed in its purest form. Jesus Wept! So, what do I think of a popinjay like Johnson? How did the Tories allow him to crawl into power? Why did they not get rid of him many months ago? There were so many occasions when he let the Country down – the Brexit debacle still being played out, Parytgate… Other unmentionable misdemeanours. They were all clinging to power while they looked away from the sleaze that was the Tory parliamentary party. They are all complicit and should be booted out. WE NEED A GENERAL ELECTION – NOW I say this with some pride – I am a die-hard Socialist. Left of left. I believe wealth needs to be redistributed and the foodbanks are a disgrace to the United Kingdom. I hope Labour, when it comes into power has the backbone to do this.
