Clone



The other day found Mrs H and I strolling through town when I spotted a chap who was the spitting image of Klaus Schwab. Seated on a bench near the pub, chatting to a woman, he could have been the identical twin of the world famous totalitarian.

With our profound sense of social empathy, Mrs H and I often refer to that bench as Loser's Corner because this is where local drunks often hang out. Initially is seemed odd to see Klaus Schwab there, but is fairly obvious that he has been cloned by some kind of genetic wizardry in order to pass the WEF message around the world.

"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy"

In which case, it is surely appropriate that the message has now reached Loser’s Corner.

Suggestive, AKH, but further checks are necessary. Is he shouting that slogan to his fellow drunks, while concealing his own can of strong lager under his jacket?

Perspicacious, AKH … amazed he wasn’t dangling from a noose.

He could be under cover spreading his message, a sort of Father Christmas in reverse.

Hastings has got a whole road of benches like that - Wellington Place!

After being moved on, they stagger up to the derelict doorways in Cambridge Road, then presumably to the hostel to sleep it off!

The average itinerant there could possibly be more coherent on the world's problems than your subject!

Sam - I don't know, but there was room for a can of strong lager under his jacket. He had respectable socks and shoes though, no trainers. Quite convincing.

James - he's probably split himself up to avoid the noose - divide and rule.

Tammly - yes, he could be the Grinch.

Scrobs - I don't know Hastings, but somehow it seems particularly tragic when seaside places go downhill.
