| In the utter chaos that is the UK government, no one knows who uses cars, or how much it all costs. In the meantime, people having heart attacks in the job centre are sanctioned for missing appointments...to save money. Well, we must prioritise, right? |
 |
| Tasteful as ever, and looking the very model of a government minister, Here Serene Highness the Lady Moan of Mayfair, sends for cars as and when it pleases her. As my granny would say: When dirt rises, it flees (nah, me neither). |
 |
| And then the laugh is that, when she gets a bit of stick for her use of government cars, she uses their spin doctors to "support" her. Queen Moan: Another one of David Cameron's brilliant ideas. (As an aside, the Daily Mail is a corker. They must have a competition to see how many bras or cleavages they can get on the side column every day, and all the time sneering at The Sun for being down market.) |
Mone has a moan, about ministerial car loan; attack by press drone.
ReplyDeleteAre you applying to be the next Makar?
DeleteNo, I'm more like William Topaz McGonagall than Liz Lochhead.
DeleteCan't deny the truth in that.

ReplyDeleteThis government are disgusting and Mone is a clown, they have no idea of the real world and worst yet don't really appear to care all that much. Like Labour and the anti Corbyn bunch, all out of touch with reality. This country is a shambles and I honestly think we are in for a huge awakening soon, something is going to go badly wrong, even more than it already has, given how incompetent this bunch of wankers are. They really have no idea what they are doing, they make the SFA and Gordon Strachan look like geniuses. That is the other minter today, all the home nations qualifying for the Euro's apart from Scotland, sometimes it is really shit being Scottish. I am starting to think that 1707 sucked all the confidence and self belief out of this country.

Mone is symptomatic of what is wrong with Westminster. No one knows how she got her seat in the Lords. Was it being a shirty little bitch over independence? Was it that Cameron loved the idea of a bit of rough in his party? Did he seriously think this was the way to the Scots' hearts.... look you've lost the referendum, but never mind, to show we are including you we've brought in this example of Scots womanhood and made it a lord?
DeleteWho knows.
We shall shortly be at war again without any objective in mind and with absolutely no idea how to deal with the aftermath.
If we had been independent we could have done our bit with taking in some refugees and helping with aid. But no, there's never a war that worth its name without the Brits in there, just behind the important people. Trouble it this time we have nothing, absolutely nothing to offer. Only last week we had to have Trident to fend off the evil Mr Putin, who is now our ally.
Maybe Cameron will come up with the idea of nuking Syria... well, I'd not put it past the prat.

DeleteI have no doubt that we will be asking more of our ever depleted and knackered bunch of soldiers who have been at constant war for the last 12 years. The problem with this country and others is that the Generals and the politicians fight the war behind the lines and I suspect have no real problem throwing away yet more young lives, and the devastation that our lovely Great Britain will leave behind. I hate Great Britain and every single thing that it stands for, I'm not a Corbyn fan but at least he see's how shit and privileged this horrid little island is. The sooner Scotland get the f out the better if the deluded would just open their eyes.

We've all agreed, I think, that when the politicians lead us in to war, they should do so from the front.
DeleteCam-moron, astride a pig, leading the troops into Damascus... sound like a plan?
On government cars, the Scottish Parliament spends a bloody fortune on cars as well - that from someone who works there (not me!).
ReplyDeleteFair enough for PM, FM and senior ministers. But millionaire members of the lords can bloody well pay for them.
Camaron leading us into battle on a pig. Think of the comparison of him and Billy Connolly in the Hobbit part 3, riding a wild board and really looking scary. Cameron would encourage his own troops to shoot him!

Yes Zog, perhaps they do. All of this spending needs to be controlled. I appreciate that ministers can't turn up with all their paperwork on the bus, but the point here is no one seems to know how much is spent on these cars and drivers.
DeleteI remember that the first thing Cameron said was that people were not to use ministerial cars unless there was no alternative....Clearly there has been found to be no alternative.
As for the Mone woman, she's no business with ministerial cars. She's supposed to be some sort of volunteer worker with £300 a day expenses. You'd think she could get a taxi for that.
I have a feeling that Cameron leading the Brits into battle would raise a great laugh from the enemy...
When dirt/earth reaches the surface it dries out and turns to dust..blows away! Seems about the best I can come up with. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Morag.
DeleteI guess it was something like that.
Maybe Mrs Mone will blow away....?
