Yesterday the entire nation came to terms with the implications and consequences of Boris’s suspension of parliament. Some were concerned on the effect on Brexit, others by the sheer rudeness of it. There are those concerned with how unconstitutional the action appears, others suggest that it could even be illegal. There have already been protests in all major cities. And Norwich. A few northern ones I’ve never heard of either. Big enough to protest, not big enough to have a football team in either of the first 2 divisions. Which is probably why the Football League is systematically shutting down all the clubs up north.

There are protests planned for the weekend. Momentum, effectively, Corbyn’s KGB, are planning to shut down cities, bridges, anything they can. Not because they’re so bothered about Brexit one way or another, but because any excuse to go clash with the police is a good excuse. So yesterday was the day to think about how you feel about this monumental day in British politics.

Whereas my main concern was whether Peppa Pig would get to ride in the rescue helicopter after stepping in one too many muddy puddles (Peppa Pig joke). I tried to tell Lila about the effects of proroguing parliament on the constitutional, legal, ethical and political framework of the country. That it is HER future! She then explained to me that Daddy Pig is a lot like Boris; speaks posh, enunciates beautifully but has no relationship to reality and grunts a lot. I could find fault with either her assessment nor her incisive comparison. Not like we use the ‘digital nanny’ with Lila, heaven forbid, but whilst having lunch, demands get made for some serious political commentary. And as my favourite position on any Liladay is IN HER FACE, I get to learn all about Peppa Pig world too. Not that its just a tv program (recently acquired by Hasbro in fact for about 2 billion quid), but for Lila its a lifestyle choice. She has the dresses, the socks, the sticking plasters, the swimwear, the… everything. But now at least I understand the fascination and in fact have started making inquiries about adult size Peppa Pig merchandise. Mainly because wearing my CORBYN IS A C**T!!! t-shirt every day is a bit dull. And smelly.

Happy Friday. Whether there will ever be ‘a tomorrow’ depends on who you listen to.
