Sometimes you need to be cheered up. I don't watch Gogglebox. But I like this:

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
(He must know many think he is a dissembling sycophantic hypocrite, who’d swear blind that black is white one day and the reverse the next, as it suited his career ambitions. To be fair, he has been somewhat more competent in some of his ministerial positions than others in our ruling chumocracy, but only by comparison – for example, as Lord Chancellor, he was preceded by Chris Grayling and replaced by Liz Truss; at DEFRA he was preceded by Andrea Leadsom and replaced by Theresa Villiers. Perhaps he thinks he could ultimately follow Boris as Prime Minister, as he did as President of the Oxford Union…)
Gogglebox is great. I would like to say it a good reflection of society, however it is probably more accurate to say that it would be a good reflection of society if society was required to regularly watch a range of current affairs/news programmes (or required to watch Googlebox) 🙂
In a tweet in your sidebar on Sunday, you commented Gove was ‘lying through his teeth’.
His assertion in the House that the EU was inhibiting scientific research in the Uk, was met with derision by the scientists. His other assertion that we will be safer when we leave the security and policing arrangements, was met by Teresa May looking incredulous.
We, sadly, are so used to Boris lying, it now often goes unremarked. Maybe because of that we don’t register what a liar Gove is.
He must know that January will be another shambles yet we are pressing on with leaving the transition period. Does he deny reality to himself as well?
I’m blocked by Adonis for calling him a hypocrite when he took the shilling to get a shot at an MEP seat but that tweet was worth seeing, thanks.
Sheer brilliance….! I MAY resume v[ewing the BBC again…..!
I thought it was Channel 4?
