Donald Trump sacked James Comey yesterday. The now former head of the FBI. Sacked the man for ‘mishandling the Clinton emails investigation’, a move that basically won Trump the election. No doubt he deserved sacking. Re-introducing at a public level an ongoing investigation, 11 days before a presidential election can only be seen as a ‘rather influential move’. What Comey didn’t mention at that time was anything to do with the ongoing investigation into Trump’s possible collusion with Russia into hacking those emails in the first place. That was kept quiet, Hillary’s shit was aired in public, the rest, for now, is history. The Trump/Russia ties are still under investigation. Maybe that’s why Comey was sacked. To throw off that very inquiry. All looking a bit dodgy over there. As it has since the last election.

Whereas our election is running positively swimmingly. I’m bored already. Theresa’s message: Brexit. That’s it. Nothing else. ‘I’ll get us out, or would you trust Jeremy Corbyn to do it??’ End of message. Repeat ad nauseum, print it on the side of as many fucking buses as you like, that’s all you’re getting.

Corbyn’s message is different. ‘Society is unfair’, he chants, like a mantra. Inequality. Some people are richer than others whilst some people are poorer!!! So there’s going to be (if he wins, of course, hopefully a very big ‘if’) in his words: ‘a reckoning!!’ Not a realignment, not a reconstruction, not something warm and fluffy and progressive-sounding, but a ‘reckoning’. Which to me, and to the BBC news interviewer last night, means something profound. Something hostile. Backs against the wall, blindfold, last fag, that’s a ‘reckoning’. And among his other great and new (well, they were new in Russia in 1922) ideas is a ‘National Education Trust’ for running… well, schools probably. ‘Like the NHS, but for education’. What a great idea. Using the world’s biggest, worst run, disorganised, wasteful money-burning-pit as a ‘model’ for other sectors. We already piss away about 300 billion a year mis-managing the NHS, let’s find other ways to squander our meagre funds. ‘The rich, greedy bankers will pay’. Phillip Greene, he’ll cough up.

He’s a horrible and divisive man engaged in his own hateful class war and I think he should just leave.

He also implied that he may not, again, should he win, sort out Brexit. Wouldn’t state categorically that we’d leave. Which is fine with me, but not exactly in line with the democratic wishes of the nation. Already, according to Mnsr Junker, ‘English is no longer an important language’. Well see if anyone over there understands this: JUST FUCK OFF, JEAN-CLAUDE. Or should I translate that to Mandarin?
