Hi Everyone
There is one thing that the political parties seem to agree on, the need to grow the economy. That seems to be obvious as it would increase tax revenue without having to increase taxes, provide jobs etc.etc.. Some years ago when we were faced with competition from abroad with cheap manufactured goods flooding our country, one of our senior politicians said that we did not need manufacturing as we could survive and prosper with banking, insurance and other service industries. Even now as we are promised jam tomorrow, very little has been said that points to a sustained increase in manufacturing output. It seems however that we can put it off for another year as our economy is boosted by the millions of pounds we are earning due to a couple of weeks of sunshine, the European Football Championships, Wimbledom Tennis Championships, and Taylor Swift who is filling Wembley stadium with 90,000 people each night for eight nights as well as other stadiums across the UK. Of course, that is great but surely our first priority should be that we can compete with the rest of the world in manufactured goods. Anyway, by next week we are likely to have a new Prime Minister when they will all party while patting each other on the back before disappearing on holiday until the autumn when they return to start stabbing each other in the back. Hey ho.
For all of us who are approaching middle age, there comes a time. In my case when this Rubbish really does become Rubbish, I will know that it will be time to stop 'entertaining' you and bow out gracefully. Ok, I know that some of you might think that I have already reached that point, but perhaps I am being a stubborn and unreasonable old codger. The fact that I am just an ordinary Joe means that very few people actually care or are impacted by my decision. In the case of that other Joe, you know the one with the really important job, does he not realise that it will be almost impossible for him to do the job for the next four and a half years? As I understand it, until he decides that his time is up, then he will just carry on. In my case, I am picking gooseberries, cucumbers and courgettes and my tomatoes are growing fast so come and join me Joe because even if many people think that you have been a good President it could all come to nothing if you carry on and tarnish your legacy. But hey ho what do I know?
Just a Thought:
Stop repeat offenders. Don't re-elect them.
The consensus after the election will be that 100% of us think that 50% of us have lost our minds,
How does Taylor Swift like her eggs? Scambled like her exes.
