The Boris Method

I saw a program on method acting. Not sure if it was De Niro or Brando, but he would stay "in character" all day, even in his trailer. I mention this because I can't really believe that such an expensive education could have produced someone so useless as our current PM. Before interviews, he puts his head in his hands, ruffles his groomed hair and becomes "Boris", bumbling, lovable upper class twit.

Boris should be an after dinner speaker, or a quiz show host, but not Prime Minister. He can't hack the work required. He seems to be waiting for the time he can become a former Prime Minister. He seems to op up once a week, make a meandering speech and then vanish again for a week, he has been doing this for a year now, and it is easier now that Parliament is in recess, so he doesn't face his weekly humiliation at PMQs.

But of course, there is much hard work to do, a second wave now look inevitable, as in France and Germany, lockdown fatigue is resulting in less and less social distancing and mask wearing, so infection rates creep up. 1.4 in France. It is estimated to be about 1.1 in the UK; estimated as we don't have an actual track and trace system that works. And in not having that, reopening schools and universities as well as offices is more risky here. The economy needs you to return to the office. Indeed, so the Government can tank it again in January with Brexit.

But that is just details.

Leaving building the lorry park in Ashford to the last minute means that, say, a Saxon settlement is unearthed, it delays an already overdue project.

Brexit has been on its summer holibobs, but there have been talks ongoing, not that they have achieved anything. But the madness will begin again soo, as the days shorten further, if its a case who will blink first, it will be our method acting PM, taking whatever deal the EU will give him.

Probably.
