Post 434. BOJO'S OUT THEN.

 EVENTUALLY SHOWN THE 

BUT NOT AN  EASY DEPARTURE..
Well, did anyone imagine it would be a simple farewell? What, to Master Johnson? When was anything ever that straightforward? He's the limpet PM. Finally kicked out, he apparently means to cling on to 10 Downing Street as Caretaker Prime Minister "until his successor is elected."
He blames his failure on the herd instinct, not on himself. Well he would, wouldn't he.
Now he will hang about in the wild hope that during the next three months there will be a  magical change in the world of politics -  where, it is said, a week is a very long time - and that something along the lines of  Putin dragging the world into WW3 will force Britain to acknowledge its need for a Winston Thatcher Johnson to save us from a fate worse than death.  
Dream on, Sunshine, dream on... 
In the next few weeks I shall try to contain my laughter at the wildly ambitious antics of those eager to replace the artful todger (sic) at No.10. Many of the contenders will have been Cabinet ministers, headed several departments and been singularly useless at all of them. They will make promises that even their former leader may have thought questionable. They will employ professional advertisers who will make sure the description 'reliable' and 'experienced' is bandied about a lot, and they will do a painful amount of faux smiling and limp hand shaking. They may even be photographed putting overpriced petrol into a total stranger's car.
It's open season on gullibility, folks, so enjoy the show but know you're going to finish up with the same self-serving charlatans. 
And for every one who doesn't believe them there will be one who does.
It's enough to drive you to
TELEVISION.
Which to us means mostly documentaries, fictional cops (home grown and foreign), or films on Netflix. On the documentary front we have enjoyed Francesco da Mosto's Mediterranean Voyage from Venice to Istanbul and still enjoy Secrets of the London Underground presented by Tim Dunn and London Transport Museum's Engagement Manager, Siddy Holloway. Tim's enthusiasm is infectious and any man who doesn't cast an appreciative second glance at Siddy...
What? Aren't I supposed to say that now? 
Get off! My Mo would think there was something wrong with me if I didn't.
All the best to you and yours.
