I have always found our current Prime Minister to be the most boring man in politics ; as his career has teetered on, my sense of boredom has increased to a comatose state, if not corpse like. But we’re getting there
Most politicians are venal, self seeking and deceitful, I accept that - par for the course, and why should we expect anything else?
But they don’t bloody bore me to tears: Gordon Brown does, and always has. He reminds me of William Gladstone who bored Queen Victoria to tears (I expect)
Most politicians are basically nuts - they are actors, they assume a persona, and indulge in theatrical stunts. Depending on which part a politician thinks he or she, is playing, the script changes.
It varies from ‘I’m your best buddy’ and ‘Depend on Me’ or ‘I am a caring sharing erk, who likes the bars in the House of Commons.’
Gordon is too boring to be nuts, and fails to entertain, big time. His recent bid for sainthood provoked understandable fury from the food chain bosses.
I refer to his crusade to..yes….Banish Plastic Bags!
Gordon thundered in the House, he waxed lyrical about a land free from the dreadful bags. The evil evil supermarkets would be made to pay, oh yeah.
To give the food business some credit, they passed the post well before the boring Gordon; the promotion of bags for life got started over a year ago, and to be trendy over here, you gotta have a store bag.
John Lewis do the best ones, lined , you know with a rather tasteful logo.
(I have a Tesco’s bag as well, decorated with strawberries. Uh Huh.)
By the time we get round to the next General Election, I shall be a political Zombie - and if boring Gordon wins?
Don’t wake me up.
Yep.
