Sir Whatsit needs to become more interesting

 


Darling, you know quite well that no one is interesting unless they're where they shouldn't be. The Prime Minister at Number Ten is simply dull, but the Prime Minister up someone else's apple tree would be screamingly interesting.

If Sir Kneel climbed an apple tree the President of the USA would chop it down.

I don't know about the apple tree, but he's certainly up a gum-tree.

dearieme - but the current one wouldn't remember.

Sam - and so are we if we elect him.

Even worse, he's trying to get Blair back, somehwere up there!

The bloke's an idiot!

Josephine Tey … one of my all time faves.

Scrobs - he seems keen on Blair and the EU, takes the knee and can't say what a woman is. Millions will vote for him though.

James - one of mine too. I'm reading one of her novels at the moment, Miss Pym Disposes, although I'm not very far into it yet.

Oh he's interesting enough. Interesting in the many ways he'll finish off this country if he gets into office.

Tammly - in some ways he comes across as worse than Corbyn.
