The Art Of Doom Scrolling

 Here I am sitting in my office scrolling through pointless vacuous Facebook posts and rolling my eyes at the bizarre comments and general fecklessness on display and whilst I have done a little work this morning, re-pressurised the boiler and got the driveway gates unlocked and closed (I opened them for the gales we've had - it saves them getting damaged and also overly stressing the gate posts).  I was going to head out but there's a likelihood of rain they say - although it looks OK to me.

The betrayal of the WASPI women was debated yesterday and our Government seemed to be OK dishing out huge pay rises to their mates but not settling yet another glorious f**k up by our leaders.  This despite the PM, Deputy PM, Chancellor etc etc saying they'd sort it out.  That is the general level of lying corrupt politicians we have at the moment.  Either they are so out of touch that they don't understand that the very basics of trust are built on say what you do and do what you say.  This lot have lied and incompetently bumbled their way along and pretend that they know what they are doing.

They amass enemies like my house amasses dust.  I hope that the whole thing blows up in their faces.  Their own MPs are getting roasted by their constituents and rightly so and I imagine many will be wondering what they've signed up to.  These "leaders" are woefully inadequate, have little or no real world experience and lack the basic principles that they should hold dear. 

Totally feckless and unbelievably gullible.  They are throwing good money after bad and expecting things to improve but will not compensate around 3.5 million women who had their pensions disrupted and they are happy to bare faced lied to them.  They supported them to get the votes and then sh1t on them from on high.  They wonder why we hate and deride them?   They cannot argue their way out and so, like so many these days they resort to name calling and accusations of "Far Right" to people who call them to account.  Not so long ago they were opposing everything and now they are in power have proved they are just the other cheek of the same arse.  

The damage it does is that no one takes those in authority seriously now.  Their adenoidal nose speak is horrible and their lecturing us from a position of ignorance is also rubbing us up the wrong way.  I've never been able to lie to people which is a strength and a weakness.  A strength in the fact that I've never had to remember a lie I might have told.  A weakness because people don't like to hear the answers to their questions.  What's the point in making them feel good by lying to them?  

People ask questions sometimes for their own benefit.  When I was ill "How are you today?"  When answered with I'm in serious pain lying on a bed and wanting it to go away they'd go quiet.  The thing was they wanted to hear you were OK.  No one wanted to hear that you might die for example and wouldn't ask properly hence I bought the Monty Python Tee Shirt with "I'm Not Dead Yet!" on it.  

Oh well. lets' see what car crash the Chancellor gets herself into today.  Apparently everything is great and we are "Going For Growth" so that's alright then.  The figures don't show that and the markets may not totally agree with her either.  Most of us just want to put two fingers up and express our indignation that we ended up with half the North Korean Communist Party governing us.
