I’m not sure which is a greater catastrophe; the failure of MPs to accept any possible Brexit scenario or Arsenal winning last night to overtake Spurs.
On a personal level, the Arsenal situation hurts more, will definitely create more anguish, taunting, depression and possibly reactive violence, but on a national level David Cameron’s ‘gift’ of Brexit to this fine nation is The Disaster of Disasters.
And that sums up the problem. Man vs Society. The ego or the collective. Personal ambitions vs the good of the nation.
Because if the world was a league table, England would have been demoted to the George at Asda Bathroom Products League 4 (North) in January and would now be appealing total enforced liquidation on the grounds of incompetence. This government is unfit to play on Hackney Marshes in the rain.
The ‘government’ is no longer in a position to govern. With Theresa May ‘leaving soon’ its all about posturing to ensure the best possible position for the 84 people intent on replacing her. They have forsaken the nation’s needs, the people’s requirements, for their own political ambitions.
Labour yesterday whipped their MPs to vote for a proposal that was in direct contradiction to one of their major election manifesto promises. ‘Ah’ they said, ‘but it won’t win, probably, but its more important to destabilise the government than to vote honestly’. The ‘bigger picture’. So fucking big that no-one is looking at the lesser pictures of a nation in chaos. At the political parties riven (great word, hardly ever get to use that one) and torn, to the extent where all confidence in the entire parliamentary process is totally shattered.
A general election won’t help. Because if Corbyn should ascend to power; God help us all. And Labour is just as divided as the Conservatives, just with shabbier shoes. So the answer (and we’re all way beyond even knowing what the fucking question is any longer) is that May steps down and we get a new PM. But we don’t have time… Aaaggghhhhh…
And for Arsenal to have all their foreign players deported in a pre-emptive Brexit move.
Happy Tuesday
