New and improved?
Teflon® is best known for its slipperiness, which is
useful where non-stick features are important. This
can also now be applied to New Labour, since nothing
seems to stick to them and nobody knows who is or
was responsible anyway. Mandy overlooked that
he had already applied for a mortgage when borrowing
for a property in Notting Hill, Two Jags
forgot to pay his council tax for several years,
whilst Blind Dave could not remember signing
(or not) documents for his then girl friend’s nanny.
Now we have Tessa Jowell not knowing that her mortgage had been
paid off within weeks of obtaining it - and for not
a small sum either. Does all this stem from "Call me
Tony" and the Wicked Witch who want to appear whiter
than white? His business acumen seems second to
none, having sold their Islington home just before
the boom and bought a Bayswater home at the start of
the bust, losing money on both deals. Their dealings
with the rich and famous are now second to none, but
how do they manage it on his wages as Prime
Minister?
Recently, on the Parkinson chat show, Tone stated that only God and
history would prove if he was right or not about the
war in Iraq. Does he not realise that the local
elections are looming soon and he is answerable to
the British public first and foremost?
Sorry… Back in 1970, a film came out telling the

love for each other. One of the catchphrases of the film - now etched into our memories - is "…being in love means never having to say sorry." Later on, during the 90s, Sir Elton John wrote a song called Sorry seems to be the hardest word. I’m not sure which way Mayor Ken leans, as to whether he is in love or just plain obstinate! At the first hearing of his conduct with a journalist when he likened him to a concentration camp guard, his defence stated that he was not under the guise of the mayor at the time, as it was well after midnight and his office had closed.
I thought that the job was of the 24/7 variety and not just during office hours - whatever they may be. As to the sentence of one month’s suspension on full pay, even this was overturned and commuted to a later date. Sorry, but I just don’t get it. This man is not fit to be called a City Mayor - more like a Nightmare! But then again, I didn’t vote for him… |
National Day
On a Sunday afternoon last month,
we saw in Trafalgar Square and surrounding areas,
people dressed in green and dancing around and
bringing the capital to yet another standstill.
These were not protesters by any stretch of the
imagination, but were in fact celebrating St.
Patrick’s Day. I have no problem with this at all,
nor do I have a problem with Burns Night, as it
usually brings a bit of extra work our way
especially at the hotels in Park Lane. What I find
strange is that we do not celebrate St Georges Day
in the same way? Forget the strange Morris Dancing
on the green, but what about the slaying of the
dragon?
The same date, 23 April, is also Shakespeare’s birthday. Even if
you don’t understand a word he wrote, surely one of
the greatest playwrights ever to have lived? That
should at least be an excuse for a celebration, but
no doubt Ken will have an excuse for us not to
celebrate as perhaps it is too British and he, along
with El Prez, just seem to want to eradicate
anything British or the history associated with this
great country of ours.
Bird flu…
It’s rumoured that George
W is so worried about the avian flu, otherwise known
as bird flu, that he is considering the bombing of
the Canary Islands.
