I offer no April Fool joke this year. Unless, that is, you wish to consider the state of our politics in that category.
My humour has failed me. I can only apologise and ask for extenuating circumstances to be taken into account.
Thanks for reading this post.

As you suggest, the state of our State is April Foolish enough for me.
We are the joke, and you are forgiven.
just noticed even @Number10cat Larry has left Twitter until ‘Brexit happens or is scrapped’ because ‘politics just isn’t funny any more’
– although he did tweet that after midnight.
Ah… the hapless Larry! I believe that he really gave up when Maybot held that ill-starred election. Actually, he told me so in what I recorded as a….. “CAT’S CALL”
” ‘Twas with Easter but an ember, as a cat can well remember,
I was prowling Downing Street in feline pride,
when my whiskers went a flutter, as the Press from ‘Fleet Street’s’ gutter
nearly trod on me as ‘Maybot’ stomped outside.
As her mike began to sputter, I yawned, to hear this nutter,
screech of ‘Brexit’, “strong and stable” ’neath her sway.
Cats can tell a brainless floosie — we’re notoriously choosy —
and the butler feeds me, PM’s seldom stay. ”
Of the House, though not a Member, Larry’s watched parties dismember
broken PMs like ‘off’ chicken cast aside,
so I wondered if some butter, on his paws could make him utter
a revised opinion now ‘She’s’ back inside.
“Inside!” his purrs became a splutter, “that’s where they should have shut her,
for the frittering of ‘Brexit’ time away.
That the lady’s now gone schmoozy with those bigots make me woozy.”
He stretched. “Wake me – when you’re sure she’s gone away.”
I hope, Richard, in the spirit of the day – calendar and parliamentary – you’ll not mind so frivolous a post. 🙂
Permitted…..
Is this your work?
Yes. There are targets that should not be resisted… anyway, that’s my excuse.
I will post it….
Maybe it’s a sick joke but I’m sure you noticed Goldman Sach’s “record 34.3 million pound fine” last week for inaccurately recording more than 220 million transactions between 2007 and 2017. Can you perhaps explain how the FCA thinks that might be a deterrent to future bad behaviour?
Hope your (and my) sensayuma recovers soon.
GS called it a ‘legacy event’
What? Is that what past misdemeanours now are?
I am surprised GS didn’t object to the FCA penalising God’s work.
