I hope we are moving to a time when faith based bigoted fuckwits are roundly despised (even by Tory types). Though I suppose folk in the late 18th must have thought the power of idiocy was waning. And then came the great evangelical cancer...
Even in the final hour, Gove was vainly trying to make the leap from character actor to leading man. A Spectator interview found him glossing the Boris knifing thus: “I compare it to a group of people standing outside a collapsing building, wondering who is going to rescue a child inside. I thought: well, I don’t think I’ve got either the strength or the speed for this, but as I looked around, I thought, God, I’m at least as strong and at least as fast as the others. I’ve got to tryto save the child.” Spoken like the world’s creepiest arsonist.
Laughing from the upstairs windows of the inferno, we must assume, are the psychopathic babysitters Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom, only one of whom will emerge from the burning temple as the mother of dragons. All then shall kneel.
Still, at least Gove has achieved his repeatedly stated ambition of not wanting to be prime minister. It looked touch-and-go for a bit, what with there being one key group Michael had yet to formally alienate in the course of his treachery accumulator: namely, Conservative party members.
The fucker has a chance. The fear of UKIP entryists mightn't be too far off... If the Tories suddenly report growing membership after years of decline then god help us all from the Thatcher years reboot. Where there is discord may we bring harmony...
Again Tubs, a certain George Galloway quote comes to mind. That's one general and one ref you were super sure of. I hope to Christ you're back on form this time.
I'm coming to think of Andrea Leadsom as a cheap, street market knock-off version of Carly Fiorina created in a British sweatshop now free from Europe's quality control and copyright regulations.
