So a few weeks ago I was in China when I saw this …
I’ve got to be honest, seeing it offended me on a level, normally saved for Brexiteers …
There’s 3 fundamental reasons for it:
+ Anyone who knows me knows how much I loathe that porky diva.
+ I appreciate the TV show is immensely popular – make that, insanely popular – but surely there are other successful shows that celebrate the UK’s creative talent and heritage – from Sherlock Holmes to even bloody Jeremy Kyle
+ I might be wrong but I swear Peppa was banned in China – and not for just being an annoying pork diva – so for the UK government to use this as a reference for why China should see the UK positively is alarmingly misguided.
Almost as misguided as their head-in-the-sand approach to Brexit.
Well, I say head-in-the-sand, but the reality is everything seems to be focused on that while issues such as crime, poverty and education are allowed to just slowly collapse.
I always thought the governments role was to look after the welfare of its citizens, unsurprisingly, this doesn’t seem to be the case – preferring to look after the welfare of themselves, regardless of the costs.
Given Brexit ‘won’ on a string of lies – lies perpetrated by people who absolutely knew what they were doing – not only do I think this makes the case for a second referendum totally legitimate, but I also think those who created and spread the untruths should be arrested for crimes against England.
Let’s face it, they knowingly lied in their campaign. Then they pushed for the government to choose the Brexit option that is uniformly accepted as the worst possible outcome for the country. And then they actively tried to undermine the Politicians of the country by forcing a terrible outcome to be mandated.
Lock them up. Throw away the key. Take away their wealth and privilege.
Wow, that took a detour I wasn’t expecting.
Normal blog rubbish will return tomorrow. Probably.
