Sun, Boris, Andy

An uninteresting and boring picture.  A vain attempt to indicate the brightness of the sun yesterday morning and today again.  The fact that Jack Frost still lay across the fields as I passed is hidden here.  I am unable to get out.  The scanning photos takes time, plus I must eat, watch the African Nations Cup when it is on and read books.  This does not leave much time for anything else, bar needful housework, the caring helpful women still avoid me!  
This also means I have spent little time watching Boris run away and hide (aparrently a relative' with Covid has been close) and he is avoiding the people who elected him.  It seems the TV and radio have been full of Cabinet members defending Boris, each trying to keep his job as they know Sunak will dump most of them.  Sunak himself is of course not a good choice.  I read recently he was part of a group in at the deep end in 2008 when the economy collapsed, yet he never mentions this.  His love of the rich and his lack of knowledge of anyone below Millionaire does not speak well of a man capable of leading the nation, and on top of that he has few friends in powerful places.  This means Liz Truss may be next in line!  
 
We stop there to let that sink in...
 

Talking of success, I note Andrew has reliquished all his honorary titles.  The media report this as 'Queen dumps Andy.'  Whether this is the queen or others in the royal house is hard to tell, but leaks will occur, and certainly they are ensuring Andy must face this alone.  All done to protect the monarchy.  What the monarch thinks about it is hard to tell. Andy was her favourite, but Andy has got into bother and even the elite cannot protect him now.  Only a judge refusing the US demand that he attends the US court can stop him facing action over there.  Good luck with that!

With Boris back against the wall, Andrew desparate for an escape it is easy to join in the crowd yelling and pointing.  There is however, something not right with the witchhunt even of the fallen hero or the guilty man.  A more sensible, none tabloid approach is required and hard to find.  
There again, had both men admitted to themselves any wrong doing, confesses and faced the music honestly I suspect attitudes would be different.  Denying clear wrong, as Boris has done, and hiding in Windsor like Andrew, has not been good PR.  Confession is good for the soul.

It seems that Boris has served his purpose and the vultures have been let loose on him. I hope the fridge he is hiding in is birdproof.
Goodness only knows which incompetent will be put up to replace him...but the people will, as usual, have no voice in it all.
As to Andrew, you can be a fool - plenty of us are - but you donlt have to be a creep and nomatter what his links wth Epstein, while Trade Representative he has been involved in some shady dealings in the world of finance.
As has often been noted, scum rises to the top...

It's interesting to follow the Boris saga and also how the cabinet "back" him!1 the knives are being sharpened.
Andy managed to sell his Swiss chalet for £17m is he getting ready for a settlement?

Fly, It's clear the media owners have dumped him. Now they just have to install their man.
Andrew has always been interested in military hardware, how much did he make from that?


Dave, The cabinet back him, for now! His Swiss chalet was shared with Fergie, and £6 million was owed to the previous owner, so only £11 million between them. His trade deals with Saudi may help here...
