Tides, Tactics, Delays & Daddy (and Nigella...) - ah! & the Knight - a little review of local politics



Just a few notes on some recent developments in local politics.

As a Catholic, I'm a such a sucker for beautiful Jewish women...

POWER TO THE LORDS! At first, Lord Lawson (of Nigella fame) managed to put a genuine smile on my naive mug, then a sarcastic one: it's taken him a while to spit that declaration out! However, the main conclusion that his compromisingly belated but brave and hugely beneficial act should lead to is a postulate to give more power to the Lords. Only when freed from daily pressures of party politics and relieved from the obligation to win elections, are politicians likely to tell it like it is.

Even if it takes them a couple of decades to muster the courage.




"Yes, maybe I said it only yesterday... but I always knew it."


WHAT HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY? Have I missed something? Did something dramatic crop up at the end of last week on the U.K - E.U.line to make TWO cabinet ministers come out? Or, simply and miraculously, they just suddenly saw the truth that had been sitting in front of them for ages? I have a hunch it could be  to do with the changing mood of voters, the need to win elections and flowing with the tide... Well, what would you expect?  (Democracy)




But at the moment, as far as I'm concerned, he's the daddy

COURAGE: After all, congratulations to Lord Lawson: not only did he got on the Truth Bandwagon after all (at the last moment; the E.U.'s collapsing), but also managed to encourage others to do the same.


THE KNIGHT: First and foremost the visors should be raised and swords banged against shields (if this is what knights do) for the Main Man, Sir* Nigel Farage (pronounced correctly; no silly jokes, right?) - the Knight who, assisted by some noble Lords and clued-up Commoners, took on the Establishment, and is winning.


Yes - now swallow them!

*from what I know, the procedure involves the Prime Minister, which makes the nomination unlikely. However, I'm writing to the Queen to by-pass Mr Cameron. Join me!
