I understand how this leaf feels this morning, hanging there all alone on this tree, wan and lonely. This I am sure has nothing to do with being at the Liberal Club last night for the SPAM meeting. Once again, a handful of old men gathered to repeat the same stories once more, the same reminiscences, the same arguments, the same old, same old.
Worse still was my guilt that forced me to buy the drinks as I had not bought a round for about a year. Of course, this means I will not buy again for another year, hopefully. I noticed there was no opposition to this.
The fact that it was boring, except when I began an argument re the number of Islamic immigrants. Some among us read the 'Daily Express' and believe all the lies found there, compounded by the neighbours and other Brexiteers around them informing them of the Muslim takeover. How some two million Muslims have taken over a nation of seventy million is hard to understand. Having a First Minister who is nominally Muslim, and a very nominally Hindu Prime Minister does not help. I avoided reference to Pritti Patel and the unhinged Suella Braverman for obvious reasons, and avoided indicating that the next Prime Minister will be white, secular, and an imitation Tory. This would upset what some have wanted to believe.
As always however, we all believed that our half truth opinions were the correct ones. Ignorance of facts did not stop our determined considerations. Something, which I must say, runs in this family...
Anyhow, they have become friends, good men, who when sober, still put Jesus and his word first. Beer does open up a lot of deep beliefs of course. Their ignorant, but deeply held convictions regarding Scotland, merely reflect the normal English opinion. Next time I will once again wear my 'Scottish Not British' shirt.
Why does my head hurt...?
Nothing much has happened in the real world. Keir Starmer is offering sops to the 'Middle England' Tories, and ignoring the needs of everyone else. Scotland is long lost, half of Wales do not recognise him, but he knows where the votes are. He promises better government, though that should not be hard after Boris and his gang have destroyed all that matters in the UK.
The 'Online Mail' has a suitable headline discussing Harry and Meghan!
In the meantime, hours after spending a day claiming 'I cannot recall,' yet not indicating why he spent hundreds of thousands in the courts attempting to withhold his 'Whatsapp' messages from the Covid inquiry if he had lost his phones or could not get them to work, Rishi met for breakfast with a bunch of Tory loons who aim to stab him in the back to his face. It appears they got nowhere. Maybe just maybe, an end is in sight. All we need now is an opposition.

Perhaps the thirsty men of SPAM are Chesterton's secret people....for whom beer is best.
One just wonders what it would take to make them rise up.....a re run of Krakatoa?
Fly, Beer is best, but 'rise up?' Only her indoors saying 'Home, Now!'
That is Krakatoa on the domestic scale...or it is here...
Fly, Tee Hee...
