LADY IN RED (PART 2)

entry picture

(Yer tiz. Not really a "Part 2" but a re-post of a recent one but with added audio for the delectation and delight of my worldwide fans)

 

Never thought I’d see you look so weak and wobbly tonight

As Champion of the Right

And so unstable;

Never thought I’d see your Party in such disarray

They’re after you Mrs May

A Tower of Babel.

You have never seemed so desperate

And in need of ugly friends, it seems to me

As the DUP.

 

Lady in Red

You’re still Party Head

But walking dead;

And though you can try

To keep it disguised

You’re compromised.

Your ratings so low,

Your duty is to go;

An ineffectual sight

The way you look tonight.

 

Never thought I’d see that Jezza looking like a PM,

Mirroring dear old Clem,

A revelation;

Never thought I’d see you squander a 20 point lead

There was no need

To poll the nation.

Now you need a coalition

But if you sup with Satan you will soon

Need a long spoon.

 

Lady in Red….

 

I always thought I’d see the mush of the Boris again

Plotting for No 10

So brash and brazen;

But I never thought I’d see that greasy little Michael Gove,

An oily tick, but by Jove,

His gall’s amazing.

I never thought that I’d see Amber,

Hammond, Hunt and Davis clamber

With his Brexit crew

To back-shaft you.

 

Lady in Red……

I do quite like Rees Mogg, a most unlikely icon for the 21st century. I am working on one about him! Watch this space!

To digress slightly - but still on the subject of Tory back-benchers...don't you love the name given by the
Rees-Moggs to their 6th child (what a BUSY back-bencher
young Jacob is!): hail SIXTUS ! The mind boggles about
the nickname he will have to live with in school.

I saw some of it at the gym, Harry. I thought John Pienaar's comments were apt. He said the Tory backbenchers seemed to have refound their support for TM. Because they can't afford rebellion now. But they will at a time of their choosing (and not hers).
(My next post restores a little more balance).

John,
At P. M`S questions today May was quite brisk and even sounded in charge. For all the dynamite points in his possession Corbyn was beginning to sound (now bawlingly)
ineffectual again...It looks like both sides are beginning to meditate on where it`s all going.

Looking at the faces of the Tory front bench is one of the most entertaining things ever.

Mind, the best sight was the look of absolute misery on the face of Boris. I wonder what`s up?

It's a thin line between committed and reckless. And with no accountability at all in terms of consequences I fear Farage = Reckless.

But he has what others lack - the commitment and vast
experience of how that chameleon-like entity operates.
His reward could be the job of "ambassador to the US".
DT would surely approve! ?

That's just what we want, MC. Someone with no accountability negotiating a deal the consequences of which he can then freely walk away from.

They could always appoint Nigel Farage as plenipotentiary for future UK Brexit negotiations while the Cabinet sorts
out its Party in-fighting!! ?

Hello Harry. Yes, the Labour Party split was predictable. Like the Tories they are not immune from the schism of Brexit. When I was a young man and in my prime (like your good self now) politics was divided pretty simply on class lines, Northern Ireland excepted. It made Britain the closest model to Marxist sociology.
These days there are other cross-cuts such as age. But for the foreseeable future the most significant of these will be Brexit.

John,
been waiting to `get at` this.

Like in the original song she sorely needs to be `dancing cheek to cheek` with someone from her cabinet...and they all seem to be scared of getting the mange.

The Brexit thing has cracked them up so much that they don`t seem to have any voice authoritative enough to able to talk to both sides and be listened to.

Looks like they are going to have to start taking some more tax-money away from their `core support`

(in the meantime; what do you think about the Labour revolt over their policy?)

I should point out that the description of Micael Gove as an "oily tick" is not my own. I saw it in something written by that excellent poet Jonathan Humble. Deep respect.

I'm sure sh'll hang in there, MC. The biggest thing she's got going for her at the moment is that her MPs daren't risk another election called over a lost vote of confidence. But Tories don't forget. And they will remember that she has caused this situation.

Or "black and blue"! I watch her performances in Parliament
and she still seems up for a fight so I wouldn't underestimate her staying power. There have been bigger
warmongers and liars in that particular office in the
recent past. She may be down but to count her out
might be premature.
