THIS GENERAL ELECTION (1)

Let's have a look at what's on offer for 04 July.

For the Tories,  a Prime Minister with disastrous judgement.  He couldn't even get right the political gift that was the D-Day commemorations.  And don't even mention calling a General Election in the middle of the summer holidays.

For Labour,  the offer to build 20,000 new prison places has been the only policy expressed so far.  Everything else has been as vague and uncosted as Keir Starmer himself.  

For the Liberals,  this man Ed Davey should apply for a full-time job as a stunt man in the film industry.  He is utterly unsuited to being a serious politician.

Now,  Nigel Farage and the Reform Party, or whatever its latest incarnation. Farage,  as we know,  is the Donald Trump of English politics and an equally horrible piece of work.

The SNP are offering us more of Dishonest John Sweeney.  Mercifully for the public, the runes don't look too good for Dishonest John,  what with the financial shenanigans of the SNP on top of 17 miserable years of utter incompetence in government.  We understand the SNP has a Westminster leader also,  a sort of convict lookalike with a shaven head.  Lord save us,  right enough - and don't mention the ferries anywhere.

The Greens are offering us the deranged persona of Patrick Harvie and his even more deranged sidekick whose name we can never remember but whose apparition scares us to death.

Alba,  if it is still in existence and touting for Westminster business,  is offering the electorate the twin frauds of Alex Salmond and Wembley Ken Macaskill.  

Finally,  our own dear Angus Brendan will,  no doubt,  offer the public his services again but this time as an Independent as he has fallen out big-time with his erstwhile political masters.  Is it  to be ditto with the electorate also?

A wonderful selection,  don't you think?
