Party Political Speech....

If there is one thing I can say without (almost) fear of contradiction is that British politics is in crisis and has become bloody boring mainly due to the two "B's", Brexit and Boris. Never a day goes by these days without either of these two being referenced in the news. Sick of it I am.

It's one of the reasons my blogging has been erratic to say the least over the last couple of weeks. Heck I've even started listening to the BBC World Service news and buying the occasional copy of the international edition of The New York Times to get away from these two.

And failed today. There's an article in The New York Times today by a Brit, Tanya Gold of Harpers Magazine something I've never read. Tanya doesn't think much of Boris and wrote an excellent hatchet job on the twat. Brexit gets a mention which is hardly surprising since Boris jumped on the bandwagon in his desire to become Prime Minister.

Personally I don't think he is suitable for such a high post. Boris is intelligent to a large degree but has untidy thinking and frankly isn't the most honest of people. Say what you like about Theresa May who did try her best but was shafted by "those bastards" that John Major once warned us about but at least she had some decency.

Then there's that quisling fool Corbyn and his Stalinist coterie still ensconced in the Labour Party avoiding what he always said the party should do listen to it's members and act. He hasn't. Labour members are mainly remainers and want a second referendum especially those younguns' that joined up for something different. Old Compo remains as he always has been, staunchly anti-EU.

Then there's the anti-Semitism crisis. It's got so beyond a joke even I've cut down on the amount I either read or post about here or on Facebook. Labour is not for the many or for the Jew. 

So thank-god for alternative news programmes on the BBC World Service. I can hear about coup attempts in Ethiopia, Indigenous peoples campaigns to defend their environment. Greenland is at the forefront of this campaign as the ice melts. There's things going on in the Sudan and Mauritania where the Defence Minister has won the election for President despite his opponents calling foul over electoral fraud.

Which reminds me Erdogan got buggered over his recalling an election in Istanbul. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end for him and his corrupt so-called Islamist Party who rely on religious bigotry & fanaticism to cover their money and power grabbing.

And if you get bored of that there's always Radio 4 Extra with it's Morcombe and Wise Radio Show's adaptions of Dad's Army and much else to do with British comedy & drama it has to be said. June Whitfield plays Miss Marple on the radio version of those stories.

But still, left hand down a bit. Here's a party broadcast by Peter Sellers on behalf of politicians everywhere....
