The party conference season is over for another year. The jolly in a posh hotel at the tax payer’s expense is done. Karaoke and late night drinks. Rubbing shoulders with the right people. Rubbing genitals with the wrong ones (shush, don’t tell the wife). Time to get back to the serious business of politics.
This year’s speeches were wild. It’s almost as if they had to say something that would top Brexit.
Boris built back bitter/butter/beaver and talked about how the pigs were going to die anyway. Dowden went in a rant about Peleton bikes. Nadine Dories got upset that her daughter had to work for her as she couldn’t get a job at the BBC because of nepotism. Patel smirked her way through making no apology for making people cross back over the Chanel in a rubber dinghy. Raab got confused about a word that means hatred of women and said, “Misogyny is wrong, whether it is by a man against a woman or a woman against a man.” Therese Coffey cut universal credit by 20% and then sang karaoke, choosing I’ve had the time of my life as the most appropriate song to sing.
However, the most worrying of all was Sajid suggesting that government shouldn’t fund healthcare.
The internet is a brilliant place to laugh at our politicians and they are making it too easy for us but I can’t be the only one that thinks it’s worrying that the BBC has created a department to fact check the Prime Minister’s words.
I’m glad they had a nice party but I’m really looking forward to when I can start using the internet in the insomniacal hours to learn useless facts rather than laugh at politicians.
As today’s insomnia has been longer than most I had time to do both. (This is almost as good as the penguin knee fact)
. The word Arctic comes from the Greek word Arktos, meaning bears, so Antarctic is a place without bears.
