Good evening folks and especially Rochelle I’ve just returned from absolutely nowhere, slight covid, slight cold, work and hot weather, coupled with election (I said ELECTION) fever (in a bad way). And now I think it may be a good idea to try and write a fictional tale in 100 words or less based on the following picture; unless things have changed since I’ve been procrastinating. So apologies over, and I’ve missed you all. Nice photo Dale Rogerson.
On My Marks…
Get Set…
GO!!!
Announcing the election in the rain, defending gamblers with insider knowledge, blaming absolutely everyone else for the situation one finds oneself in, brought on largely by oneself and associated snake oil salesmen/ women.
SishiRunak had taken to hiding in the garret amongst the weeds behind the parlimentary house. There someone had installed a cabinet with useful emergency-type books;
“IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS”
Was this an emergency? He’d never knowingly had one before; usually staff saw to things, he didn’t feel good and his ears glowed. No one had told him what to do if his ears glowed…
There we go, a 100 word critique on how out of touch and completely lost our current Prime Minister is, the massive twat.

Nicely done political parody. Good to know other countries have twats for PMs too 🙂 It makes one’s own slightly more tolerable.

Dear Shrawley,
Welcome back. Glowing ears seems to be the least of the problem. If only these politicians were like Pinocchio and their noses grew with each lie. Of course there’d be no room for anyone to get past the fences they’d form. Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Sir Shrawls!
How lovely to see you! And yeah. At the very least, their ears should glow. And I’m with Rochelle, their noses should grow, too. No more doubt about what is a lie and what is… oh sorry, forgot myself there for a moment. As if there is any truth in politics!

I think we’re globally in a really nasty spot, and if people don’t vote the far right will fill the void. Think I need a holiday!

The alternative is not voting and the void filled by the opportunist right, I don’t want that, I’m voting because its the only way we can change our democracy, if we don’t exercise our right we’ve got no right to complain of what’s coming down the track, namely that idiot Farage and his nasty bunch of racists. Ive convinced my daughter to vote, I think you should.

So, you’ve got a massive twat, too? What a coincidence! We have several here in the US.
Great fun story.

Probably the glowing ears is a prelude to spontaneous combustion

Welcome back, Shrawl! I just watched a special John Oliver segment on your elections, including some about your clueless current PM. Sounds like most of the candidates are likewise clueless. Good luck to you. We have until November to see what happens for ours.

It’s not hard to despair. There must be people with intelligence, expertise, courage, sound ethical values and goodwill somewhere in the world – where are they? Why don’t we elect them?
Hmm. It is a tall order, I suppose. Maybe I’ll just despair instead.
All the best with your elections 🤞.
