So Zelensky said that Trump lives in a world of disinformation, so Trump called him a ‘dictator’ and accused him of ‘starting the war’ and so Starmer (as if anyone even listened to him outside of our sceptered Isle) sided with Zelensky, and Trump is left sucking up to Putin and I think we’re on the verge of World War 3. And you know how I hate sequels. World War 3: Eve of destruction! (Tax deduction…)

But worst of all, no-one’s fixing the pot-holes on the East End Road.

It’s in a terrible state. Driving down there in what Joey calls ‘the racing car’, which has super ‘low profile’ tyres, I feel every bump up every single vertebra in my spine. Then up to my head and out the top, rattling my poor, aging brain on the way. None of which bothers me as much as the dread of blowing a tyre. Ok, the dread of paying for another tyre.

So I’m going to write to Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, Kier Starmer, Angela Rayner, Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Elon fucking Musk and Sheik Mohammed bin Salman. As they’re deciding the future of every man, woman and child on the planet, let us at least contemplate our few remaining days of peace on roads which don’t shake the shit out of cars and drivers. Otherwise, what kind of world will we be left with after the war?

Musk has now in fact steamed in with his own little diatribe on Zelensky, the seeming, “America’s Enemy Number 1!!!”, reinforcing Trump’s accusation of being a ‘dictator’ because he’s cancelled elections. Funny they have no problem dealing with Putin, whereas Zelensky gets the full wrath of the nation. For cancelling elections due to a shit-load of bombs and a nation at war and under martial law.

For Musk’s boss, The Trumpster, you need look no further than ‘what’s in it for us?’, to understand that America wants Ukraine’s vast wealth of natural resources; minerals and ore of massive value in computer chips, armaments, everything. You can dig a hole anywhere in the country and come up with a shovel full of lithium or titanium. And Trump wants it as ‘payback’ for all the money and arms the USA ‘gave’ Ukraine to fight what was then ‘the common enemy’ but is now ‘my best mate’.

I fully expect to see Elon Musk on East End Road within the next 7 days with his own shovel. Not the ‘diggin minerals’ one, but the ‘repairing pot-holes’ one. Otherwise I’ll never vote for him again!!!

Let’s not forget the plight of the common man in all this global insanity.

Happy Friday
