What A Time To Be Alive?

 There's lots going on in the world and so many interesting things happening and I, like many others I imagine, watch on as our "elders & betters" make decisions based on school playground logic and turn around endlessly as their ill thought out ideas get challenged.  It does remind me of school though, the stupid unscientific assertions and I'm just waiting for one of the Cabinet members to state "My dad's bigger than your dad!" or some such unqualified statement.

When you are a Director or a Manager you actually have to be good at your job.  I think I had to be more than that, I had to be outstanding in it as I dealt with so many numpties and Muppets.  If you weren't good you got found out and those small chinks in your armour became gaping chasms and that's what we see with this government.  No one seems to actually do any real investigation before coming up with these stupid ideas, there's no foundational premise to start with either.  No coherent strategy and no integration or leadership.  It's like sailing a ship without any Captain, no Navigator and all the crew are inexperienced have a go sailors who've never sailed a ship before. But worse!

My old boss used to come in to work on any given day and like Michael Caine in the Italian Job state "I've got a great idea"  - he may well have done but generally you could drive a bus through his ideas and theories and that idea would be superseded by the next idea.  None of them had any chance at being successful as he didn't realise that having an idea and making it happen are quite different things.  Driven by ideology these imbeciles come up with ideas that turn out to be faulty and built on sand.  Rudderless, they pitch and toss around in the wild seas and become overwhelmed by the waters.

Our old work saying went along the lines of "His men would follow him anywhere...... But only out of curiosity!"  "Somewhere a village is missing it's idiot!" "Like a six pack without the plastic bit that hods it together!" and so on.  If it wasn't so serious it would be funny.  Watching us (the UK) and the rest of Europe getting roasted by President Trump was an education.  Let's hope it shocks these weak lily-livered excuses for human beings into doing the right thing.  I can only imagine the fallout from the resent WEF meeting.  Although many won't understand that the criticism was justifiably about them such is their cognitive dissonance.
