There was an interview on tv, either last night or possibly tonight (the report may have been from a press preview), with Donald Trump (vile and obnoxious) talking to, or probably shouting at, Piers Morgan (revolting, slimy and obnoxious). And guess what? If Trump was still president, the Ukraine crisis would never have begun. Fuck!! Just think, all that death and suffering and destruction and migration would never have happened because Donald Trump would have… errrrr… well, he’d have, apparently ‘done a deal with Poot’n’ and countered the Russian’s nuclear threat with a proper John Wayne reaction telling him ‘our nukes are bigger than your nukes and we have MORE!!!’. The precise nature of ‘the deal’, which Biden should have ‘done’ is a bit more obscure. As it would be from the master of his wonderfully detail-free world. The man whose entire life is a tweet. Everything being reduced to 35 words. Just enough to make a loud statement but insufficient to provide any substance, detail or explanation. In fact Trump only uses 17 words because each one has to be repeated.

And speaking of misogynists, apparently Westminster is chock full of them. Which is why the now national debate about Angela Rayner’s thighs is so important, politically. The facts, as we know them, though there aren’t many, is that a Tory MP, who remains nameless, accused Ms Rayner of crossing her legs in sufficiently repeated manner as to destabilise the Prime Ministers thought patters, which really needs not much help from her. But the very fact that some Tory, probably a closet-rapist, they all are, and ex-Bullingdon boy, entitled, maybe minor gentry and in possession of testosterone without a license, has brought this shameful matter to light is sufficient to question the entire nature of women in parliament. Whether they should even be viewed as ‘women’! Rather than just ‘MPs in very short skirts, crossing their legs’. Or the suggestion that women have to take much more care with simple actions just to avoid any suggestion of ‘being suggestive’ or ‘naughty’, JUST because men’s minds are so sick and leery.

If Ange was doing this accidentally, then this whole matter is simply a manifestation of typical misogyny and objectification of females in a decidedly pre-Emily Pankhurst manner. If she indeed intended to bother Boris and his famously libidinous disposition, then this is ‘female empowerment’ at its finest, used to fine effect of making the Prime Minister look stupid. But due to the way Boris looks and acts normally, how could we tell?

This story will run and run. At least until someone spends $40 billion buying Twitter.

Happy Tuesday
