After
about five hours sleep I found myslef laying wide awake. I tried to
get back to sleep, but ater a little dozing I gave up and got up.
Over brekkie I had a look-see on-line.
I
wish I hadn't....
"Daddies
Little Angel TM" (and a few others)
had posted
a little picture onto Facebook; the upshot of which was that
after all of the mess of the referendum, we as a nation have
effectively got exactly that which the majority were voting against.
The comments made on that picture made for interesting reading.
In
years to come future historians will look back at today and ask "WTF
was going on". Having had a national referendum about
leaving the European Union (a couple of weeks ago) a majority
voted to leave.
Now
look at how things have turned out. Having lost, the Prime Minister
could not continue with any credibility, and the leading lights of
the side that won have all resigned (for no adequately explored
reasons). Consequently we now have a new
Prime Minister who was on the losing side, and will have to take
Britain out of the EU even though she doesn't agree with the
decision. I can't see how she will be able to command any respect in
doing so.
Ironically
many of those voting to leave the EU did so because (according to
the media backed up by various rantings on social media) they
felt it was an undemocratic form of government. They clearly did not
realise that the predicable resignation of Mr Cameron would give us a
Prime Minister who was not in office as the result of a General
Election. Judging by what I was reading on the Internet this morning
many were not happy with this state of affairs. Even though the
process of succession of Prime Ministers is well established. Look at
the succession of James Callaghan, John Major and Gordon Brown..
We
clearly have actually got a system which is exactly that which the
majority were voting against.
And
so to work. I've had a good few days off. I must admit to having a
wry smile when I saw the rain this morning.
As
drove the radio wittered on as it does. We have a new Prime Minister,
but the Labour
party remains in disarray over their leadership issues. Like him
or loathe him, Jeremy Corbyn clearly does not have the support of the
parliamentary Labour party. Is he the only person who can't see that
this is the important issue?
I'm
getting a little fed up with politics now... We've voted to leave the
EU. It's time to either crap or get off the khazi
I
stopped off in Morrisons for supplies then went on to work. As I
worked could see torrential rain altenating with hail through the
window so it was a good day to be there. Fortunately the rain stopped
by home time so once home I walked "Furry Face TM"
round the park. We got home just as the rain started again.
And
then next door started hammering on her piano. I *really*
should tell her she's no good at it.
I
wonder what's on telly..
