We have three shows currently ongoing in the world.

We have Wimbledon, which is not only the best tennis tournament of the year by simply miles and miles, but also the only one I ever watch. I can’t get my head round blue tennis courts on the tv. And even though I play my own tennis on rather drab grey courts, green is my choice for viewing others upon.

Then we have the continuing European football saga, down to the last four now. Or, ‘Wales and three others’ as they say in Swansea. Wales play Portugal on Wednesday. Bale plays Ronaldo. The Welsh Wonder vs the Preening Portuguese Ponce. Teammates at Real Madrid, ‘good friends’ and yet you know Ronaldo resents every single goal or act of wonder by Gareth. You just know. He’s not one to happily share the limelight in any situation. Then on Thursday its France against Germany. The host nation against the team with the most winning culture in football.

Then we have the government show. Over here. The Americans are staging their own one, probably calling it the ‘World Presidential Battle’ but that’s only because that’s how they view the world. A bit like Christiano Ronaldo views his world.

Our government fell apart when Brexit happened. The battle for conservative leadership, which conveniently and rather effortlessly makes you the Prime Minister as well, gets nastier and nastier with each passing moment. Today its the alleged ‘plot by UKIP to instal Leadsom’. Because Angela Leadsom is the only candidate who says we should get out of Europe ASAP, and I suppose UKIP are worried that others may dither or worse still, find a way to avoid our departure. Though interestingly, if we do leave, UKIP are immediately redundant. They had but one purpose, one aim, one message. GET OUT OF EUROPE. So if we’re out, what’s the point of them hanging around?

The Labour leadership is even more daft. Everyone wants Corbyn out. Except Corbyn. Who steadfastly refuses to fall on his sword. And if they just have another leadership contest, he WILL stand again. Which will inevitably result, win or lose, in a split in the Labour party. Which in terms of policy is actually common sense. But in terms of dividing itself in parliament would be a catastrophe.

Yet the Labour party remains two parties. The hard left Comrade Corbyn inspired socialist collective who will never get elected, and the New Labour Blairites who moderate their left-leanings to appeal to middle England and retain electability. Ideology against pragmatism. Having the purest views that no-one will ever vote for or compromising for the sake of actually become some future government.

Personally I don’t give a shit one way or the other. Fun to watch though. Maybe the Liberals would become the opposition. With 9 seats in the House.

Happy days
