Mr Speaker; Mr Speaker

Subject: Mr Speaker, Mr Speaker.



"It's a farce Mr Speaker". There is  no gravitas in Parliament these days, no sense of urgency, no belief in any of the words spoken, it’s just a political jamboree.

This weeks Prime Ministers Question Time was conducted in the meta universe of blinkered political discourse, not the cut and thrust of genuine debate only a denial of all that's worthy. To subsist on barracking the Opposition by throwing out platitudes, lying and obfuscate has become the  political currency of the day, offering only  the flimflam of blame , of she said, he said and little, we said. The obsession with keeping the voter on your side to ensure his vote at the next election, irrespective of the deep, possibly irreparable damage this causes to the economic fabric of the country.  Its a game the politicians play mixed with the ideological surety fostered in the innocence of youth and the idealism of dealing with a world as we thought it should be, not as it is.

They have trashed this nations economy for the next 20 years or more but seem unable to accept their part in the damage inflicted. They blame some sort of other intellectual and economic activity of the last 20 years  whilst denying that they were at the helm for all of that time.

The blame always lay elsewhere Brexit was due to the French, Covid the Chinese, our lack of productivity the Unions, high interest rates the Bank of England and nothing about the undignified play acting and cat calling in Parliament which has reduced them to a sad laughing stock with the population.

Like their counterparts, “the second hand car salesman”, they will sell you anything so long as there is something in it for them. Morality and ethics are not something recognised or valued in the trade, their opinions ebb and flow.

To watch the Prime Minister gaunt faced and shell shocked sitting in the Commons next to the Chancellor, as he demolished her beliefs, the radical readjustment of parliamentary probity, espousing her penchant for Milton Friedmans radical right wing free  market based economic policies such as letting the trailblazers loose, the money men, the asset  strippers, the short term arbitrage traders and the manipulators who’s only contribution is short term gain for themselves.  No  bridge builders or a factory owners, no innovative entrepreneurs  and little concern for the labour force or the pay they receive. ‘People’ are only of collateral value and as such of only passing interest.
