Subject: Give us some slack.
Will our passion for things being ‘right’ and above board became nearly fatal as we struggled to make sense of how quickly we have fallen. It’s a fall that’s been in the making for decades. The assumptions about spending on schools, health, people in general will only be addressed if there is sufficient pressure to assure that these sacred cows, such as the NHS will become shadows if we haven’t the resolve to do something. Will our hope to put care-homes on a par with NH funding be dropped, will University Places become rationed as they used to be 60 years ago and will the universities be forced to close as overseas students are less attracted to broken institutions.
Mrs Truss’s near hysterical face as she peered out from the Font Bench in Parliament cutting a lonely figure amongst those now her enemy’s who few days before had enthusiastically anointed her as the new messiah for a nation desperate for growth but unable to lay down a plan to build from the bottom up.
The Robin Redbreast will soon be here noticing I'm sure a scarcity of crusts. The desperate moms needing help feeding their kids, the food banks as common as pubs and more patrols of uniformed police on the street protect us, not from the criminal but us from ourselves as desperation sets in.
The billionaires will continue to flourish as the world reverts to being a two tier affair and ‘levelling up’ becomes an anachronism for a dream time when people were high on good intentions.
Will it be all bad or will we rediscover some of our old resilience. Will ‘fever-cure’ regain its place as a medicine, it’s bitter taste tested many children in their resolve to have a day off school.
With the breaking news that Boris Johnson has pulled out of the race to be PM leaving Rishi Sunak an uncontested stroll over the finishing line without fear of Middle England overturning the result can we rewind the clock to a time prior the markets reminding us who is in charge. Will it give the Credit Rating Agency’s a reason to reinstate our credit worthiness and take the weight off our borrowing costs.
The problems remain the same but perception's matter and maybe we will just get some slack.
