9 June (Part 2) - What if?

This is for David who expects to be entertained by political comment on BiB. It’s not really funny but…

Across the channel European voters are going to the polls to elect their MEPs. If the exit polls are to be believed they have become disenchanted with their left-wing representatives and there will be a shift to the right. Probably not a big enough one to bring the EU to its senses but the left-wingers are definitely in retreat. Germany is expected to kick out the Greens and in France Emmanuel Macron is trailing Marine le Penn.

Here in Britain voters are very unhappy with their own left-wing government but appear to be hesitant about following the lead of their European counterparts. Instead they lean towards more of the same but with bells on.

Even higher taxes, more severe curbs on freedom of speech and freedom of movement, bringing forward the date for the lights to go out, more gender confusion. An outbreak of national madness obviously and maybe there is a case for proportional representation after all; preferably a system of proportionality with voters’ IQ levels.

Rishi Sunak has long been on a mission to destroy his voter base and his D-Day antics are but the most recent in a long line of cockups. I personally don’t care so much about him disrespecting veterans - hang on a minute before exploding - even though I used to have a regular home visitor who survived that day on the Normandy beaches; what bugs me is that he is so politically unaware and lacking in judgment that he was unable to see that going home early was not a sensible or moral thing to do.

We cannot afford to have a Prime Minister like that. It looks like I am going to have to find out what this exceptionally shy Michael Pastor fellow is all about. I am not a huge enthusiast for Reform UK but it wouldn’t be difficult to be a more attractive choice than Rishi Sunak or Abena Oppong-Asare.

So what will happen once more European countries join Italy, Austria and the Netherlands in electing right-wing governments and we have elected one whose avowed intention is to open the flood gates to economic migrants?

If they are made to feel even more unwelcome on the Continent and decide to get out they will likely all end up here and our infrastructure will collapse. Maybe that will be a good thing. Every generation needs to learn that Socialist governments are not the solution to anything and maybe the influx will quickly collapse Starmer’s outfit, assuming the Momentum lot don’t chuck him out first.

With Sunak doing his best to guarantee a Starmer government, the last thing anyone with a three digit IQ level will want to see is a ten year tenure. The quicker he falls apart the better and just maybe our European friends will do for us what too many British people are reluctant to do now.

How’s that David? Controversial enough for you?
