Election Fatigue

Following so close to the Referendum from hell this election for the post of PM is doing my head in. I cannot abide the news coverage yarping on about whose manifesto is manifestly wrong, or what clown said what about HS2 taking away food from babies mouths. It all goes on far too long and along with half the population im getting Pre Traumatic Election Stress. I just wish it would all sod off for a bit to be honest!

Yesterdays P.M. on Radio Four with Eddie having a pop at some poor labourite gobshite had me actually feeling sorry for comrade Gobshite. I mean who would know how much a HB pencil costs a primary school? Thats the problem I guess. Its the ferile media looking for the most obscure question to trip up the bovine arse who is just going to sit there and vomit the party line until his/her five mins is up and they rejoing the studio merry go around.

I just wish someone would ask a fun question to break the total bordom that comes over me when the news comse on. Something like:

1. Have you now or ever been a member of the Tufty Club?
2. Why do 24 hour supermarkets have locks on the door?
3. Why did Kamakazi Pilots wear helmets?
4. Have you ever taken a pee in a pub car park or doorway?
5. Whats the most stupid thing you ever did?
6. Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
7. How do you know if honesty is the best policy unless you've tried some of the others?
8. Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
9.  You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes? Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?
10.  Is an oxymoron a really dumb bovine?

Its also the quandry im in betwix my head and my heart. I am a good socialist at heart. Mum and Dad both working class. Granddad a Miner and I sided with the Miners (even though a copper) in the strike. But and its a big but, Corbyn just dont impress me much. Polarise going to sea with no missiles and in negotiations for Brexit I just dont think he would have the backing of his own party , or the capacity for bringing home the bacon  in the divorce negotiations. And the rest of the Labour Party is up its own arse trying to sort itself out and may well split after the election.

BUT

I hate the Tories and the thought of yet more food banks and the NHS in crisis, poot being flogged and sent to Australia again, children up chimneys is just as bad. SOOOO what do I do????

Well, I guess there is still time, but this time I will be jumping from one foot to the other when it comes time to put the x in the box. Ill let you know how it goes.

    1. Hi F,

      You know, I'd heard the name Chelsea Manning so many times, but did not have a clue who she was until I read your post on YG today (after which I had to Google her). Interesting.

      What do you mean "meet the others"? I'm intrigued. Tell me more.

      Hope you are keeping well.

      Y x
