Snap General Elections.

“Voters would never forgive us if we called election this year,” says Sajid Javid.

For once, a politico has got something right. Any snap election this year would be seen as a desperate attempt by The Maybot to give said Maybot some legitimacy.
Thus turning a General Election into a sideshow; Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

Because, let’s face it, however bad the government is at the moment, Steptoe won’t get in; I think the government would have to be propped up by UKIP or similar.
I’d love to see the latter gain a load of seats, but not so they are put in the hellish position of having to support The Maybot (which would kill their popularity stone dead, but maybe that’s the cunning stunt…). Unless, of course, they were to get so many seats that they could dictate to her. Now that I wouldn’t mind…

Snap G Es really are cunts.

Phillip Schofield needs another cunting. With all his Millions i’ve just seen the greedy cunt doing a “We Buy Any Car” advert. This is a sell your car for a fraction of its value setup. Desperate people trying to scrape the next rent or mortgage payment together parting with their wheels for pennies.Have these greedy fuckers no morals or scruples? He’s a greedy,grabbing CUNT!

Brexit Hoarders/Preppers

I am amazed at the number of (ostensibly) normal people who are openly stockpiling products in advance of 29th March.

There was some cunt on Radio 4 yesterday afternoon (The Food Programme) saying that he’d ordered 10Kg of seed potatoes so he could sow them and “share” the expected 200-400Kg crop should things “get sticky”. Asked for a scenario which would necessitate this, he replied “Oh, a bad snow storm WHEN the supermarket shelves ARE empty (both my emphasis)”.

They’re not all going to be empty for fuck’s sake! OK, there may be a shortage of quinoa for a week or 2 but if you’re that desperate, mix some cat litter with wallpaper paste and you’ll get a similar taste/texture/result.

The stupid twat also said that he was stockpiling powdered mash which doesn’t say much for the confidence he has in his own plan.

I buy food from supermarkets but also from my local Farm Shop. Apart from the overstock/short date ex-supermarket produce the farm shop sells, everything else is UK sourced and mostly competitive.

I think we’ll survive.

Now, where’s my crossbow and trapper hat….

Older Sad Man Syndrome

I´ve just learned that I am suffering from Older Sad Man Syndrome, a term coined by an American “career and personal coach” – whatever that is – called Marty Nemko. I was ready to dismiss him as another example of Californian flakiness until I read one of his articles and it immediately struck a chord.

Read this: “One man, I’ll call him, Bill, is a director at a large Bay Area nonprofit. He sees people whom he views as inferior getting promotions and other favoritism. He goes to the gym and sees the attractive women looking right through him – Mr. Cellophane. He comes home to watch CNN and sees endless encomia to women and people of color and he, a white male, is disproportionately portrayed as evil or idiotic. He doesn’t feel that he’s either and feels sad that his gender so often portrayed that way.” Poor old Mr. Cellophane!!!

Nemko wins me over by outlining how Bill – and the rest of us – are unfairly treated compared with women who receive far more attention in terms of health and other issues. The Fair Sex indeed!

My main complaint is that his suggestions for combatting Older Sad Man Syndrome include having a “few sessions with a good cognitive-behavioral therapist”. As I have no idea what a cognitive-behavioral therapist is I don´t think I will be taking this option up. Never mind Mr Nemko. It´s the thought that counts. Nice to know there is someone out there who understands me.

BAME, that ludicrous expression which has slipped into modern parlance, although not mainstream parlance, just that of the lefty media and the ‘liberal’ left in general.
This is surely a racist term, as it puts blacks ahead of other ethnic minorities. Just say ‘ethnic minorities’ that’s fair and equal, innit?
