Sources of sanity

source

What is the furtive toad Cameron up to? Trying to persuade us he’s radical on EU issues? Why does the man bother? He’s as radical as Cornflakes and everyone knows it. I'm sure he’d be better off not pretending. Surely nobody is fooled?

At least I hope not. Cameron has no intention whatever of changing anything significant in our relationship with the EU. As for loons Miliband and Clegg...

Yet as we peruse these tales of insanity, there are saner worlds to set things right. At such moments of reflection I often turn to The Compleet Molesworth for an uplifting quote.

Another form of torture for parents is the displa of country dancing on ye sham village green. The skool gardener is awakened from another sleep in the onion bed and skool piano wheeled from big skool revealing wizard patch of dust marbles dead beetles conkers and skeletons of boys who have crept away to die.

 Gosh that's better, almost as bracing as a walk in the hills. There is a world of sanity and good sense after all, a world of dust marbles dead beetles conkers and skeletons of boys who have crept away to die.

    Apols for deletion, I muddled Molesworth with Mole. Both great thinkers of their time, but not quite the same.

    AK Thanks for the link. What is he up to? Nobody really knows I don't think. Does he?
    "The Poles will not accept.....
    The German governments will not accept...
    The Swedish government cannot accept...

    Its all like a game of "Grandmother's footsteps" - one at a time, bit by bit, then
    VRooom they all will have a go!

    Graham - I agree, I don't think he knows in any meaningful sense. He seems to have accepted the role of PR man for the machine behind the scene.
