The blob

After spending most of the last six years blaming anyone and everyone else for their various policy failures, the UK Government has come up with a new one:

The Blob.

The Blob is some kind of ill-defined entity that inhabits whatever you are taking about, that resists all efforts by the Government or its Ministers to improve, and thus the failure of the same can be put down to "The Blob". Be that the NHS Blob, the Civil Service Blob and so on and on.

I guess the water idustry is another Blob that with that there would be no sewage on our beaches or our rivers. Only it seems that the Environmental Minister in 2017, a certain Liz Truss cut the compliance budget for Ofwat to drive efficiency.

Wonder if the Liz Truss is who expected to become Leader of the Tories and then the new PM knows of this useless other Liz Truss who acted without thought of the consequences?

Which is why we are where we are as a country, when useless Liz Truss can follow the also useless Boris Johnson into 10 Downing Street, who followed the not quite so useless Theresa May, who by comparisson was a political titan.

The last decent PM we had was Gordon Brown wh did not win re-election after calling a woman who said bigoted things an actual bigot. And the guy who followed Brown, Ed Milliband was deemed not good enough because he was photographed eating a bacon butty badly.

May, Johnson and now Truss will fuck the country so badly, and yet imagine the chaos we would have had under a Milliband lead Government.

If only.
