What a week for Boris Johnson. Our Prime Minister. The most unbelievable failure of weeks since Bury football club thought they’d found a buyer. Since Hitler thought picking a fight with Russia was the path to success. Since the banks decided to sell Payment Protection Insurance as a way to scam its customers.

Boris had his first three votes in parliament and lost them all. What’s the opposite of a ‘hat-trick’? that was Boris. Then he sacked 20 or 21 (depends when and how you count) of his party’s MPs. Just before his own brother and fellow MP, Joe, resigned from government because he can no longer work with big bwuvva Bowis. On Monday he will once again try and get a general election and that will make it 0/4 because the opposition parties are already aligned against him.

So he’s left with choices. He can… errrrr… well, he could… hmmmm… or… ok, he can’t do anything. He’s fucked. Last resort, he can wait for the law to be passed that we can’t leave the EU without a deal and then break that law and leave. Not sure how that will pan out, but I’m guessing it won’t be good. Won’t be his ‘Churchill moment’. I’ll be more a ‘Prince Andrew moment’.

I have one over-riding worry in all this. That when the shit has settled from the fan, Jeremy Corbyn may be the country’s leader. I know that Corbyn is not the most popular leader of the opposition, nor has he endeared himself to either leavers or remainers. But you just don’t know. No-one knows.

What we do know is that if Corbyn should achieve that aim, then John McDonnell would be our chancellor. And as a proud and proclaimed ‘Marxist’, he has some rather radical ideas. Safe to say, these are ideas that have never worked in any country that they’ve ever been tried in. Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea. All embraced Marxism, not as any kind of social ideology, because all their people were repressed, abused and pretty much starved, but as an economic model. Which led to the downfall of the common people that they were allegedly acting for.

McDonnell wants to ‘reduce inequality’. A noble aim. Unfortunately, not by creating a more equal environment for perhaps education and early opportunity, that’s too ‘fundamental’ for John, who is not ever a fun kind’a guy. So he’ll address the issue later. By basically stealing money from whoever may have it, or want to have it, or aspire to have it, and he’ll give it to some people. Because, according to him; ‘big bonuses cause upset to others’. So he’ll ban them/ reduce them/ tax them to shit. But bonuses won’t be such a big issue anyway as he plans to rob companies of billions of pounds worth of their shares and give them to the company’s workers.

And with all these extra billions coming into the country, he can start renationalising everything once more. Trains, utilities, phones, everything. It’ll be brilliant. As long as none of those companies relocate or use their international status to restructure their liabilities. In which case we (the nation) are fucked. Because the deficit would be humongous.

And on that happy note; have a super Saturday
