There are so many cases going on involving detachment from reality.

The first is the Khashoggi ‘incident’ in Turkey. First the Saudis said ‘no, he’s just missing’, which changed to ‘there was a fight’, later morphing into ‘he is dead’, which eventually ended up as ‘he was murdered!’ No shit, Shylock. Then they added: ‘but by a rogue group’. So you know it wasn’t an authorised, legal murder. Presumably most murderers involving Saudis aren’t ‘rogue’. Bit like Russia. But at least most Saudi murders are perpetrated with good ole British weapons.

Then there was the woman on the radio phone-in who will ‘never, never, never, never (four ‘nevers’, that’s serious) vote Conservative again if ‘we don’t get the Brexit we voted for’. Heavy. Will the conservatives survive into the future without Carole from Bexley Heath? But the point is that Carole wasn’t voting for a specific Brexit. She voted to leave Europe. (That’s the ‘full stop’. Same one as on the ballot paper.) Did she not think that there might be a few ‘details’ that need ironing out before we take our little Union Jack flag out of Brussels permanently?

And there’s Jezza. Le Corbyn. The anti-semite’s anti-Semite. He’s simply loving the whole Brexit debacle. As any labour leader would. Sitting back in the opposition benches watching the government of the day fracture and self destruct day by day. So he finally perked up yesterday, as he does about every 4 weeks. He came out of hibernation to repeat: “The Conservative government is in a shambles and don’t know what they’re doing. It’s time they GIVE WAY FOR A PROPER GOVERNMENT WHO ARE CAPABLE OF NEGOTIATING EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT!!!” He always ends up shouting these days, obviously part of the image make-over. But no amount of image enhancement, or shouting, can make Jeremy Corbyn a statesman. He’s a duffle-coat forced into a suit and tie. He’s a protester and banner-waver, and I’m sure a very good one. But negotiate with Europe? Maybe Kier Starmer would lead the charm offensive on that front. God help us all. Though none of them have come up with any details. None of which would be acceptable to the Europeans anyway.

Back to reality. For a while. Don’t like to spend too much time here, its depressing.

Happy Tuesday
