Anglo-French Summit an Expensive Farce

So much that is wrong in the world, so few allotment-holders to try to put it right. The result was that Nosher and me were overwhelmed by choice for the topic of our post-tilling discussion. We were sitting on our old deckchairs in the gloriously warm afternoon sun - spring has definitely sprung in the good old Dis-United Kingdom, even if only for one day. So as we sipped Nosher's parsnip wine, we surveyed the issues of the day to discern which should occupy us for a few minutes of rest and relaxation.
First, there's the gigantic cock-up at Heathrow's Terminal 5. A disaster waiting to happen some might say, given that the technology received all the money and attention, but the staff training was woefully inadequate. Let's hope BA don't organise their planes in the same way.
Second, there's the cock-up the Chinese made in organising a stage-managed news conference with supposedly 'tame' Buddhist monks who then went feral and spoiled it all. Just goes to show that totalitarian rulers can never know just how much they and their lackeys are hated by the people they oppress. Look out, Gordon the Moron!
Third, there's the pantomime of President Sarkozy's state visit to London, and all the nonsense that the fawning mass-media have been putting out about how his latest ex-model wife lends a touch of glamour to the proceedings. Bollocks, the lot of it. Nosher and I decided to run with this one.
If a touch of glamour is all we need to make thing work properly in the Dis-United Kingdom there's no end of young women willing to take their clothes off for a few bob and show us their assets. It's drivel, of course, and those who run the mass-media must know it, but they also know it sells their output to the punters.
After forty years of slowly destroying our education system (child-centred learning, and all that) we now have children who pretty much do as they please for their entire school careers, with the result that the majority grow up into being credulous gullible idiots who are easily persuaded that a touch of glamour is good for the country. That's if they bother to take any interest in current affairs, of course - most don't, and those that do will soon discover that the BBC News output is now run as a sub-department of children's programming, being aimed primarily at the sub-teen audience. Any serious news is limited to usually peripheral issues discussed with news correspondents in a patronising style that comes straight from 'Blue Peter' (for you Yanks, that's an irritatingly puerile children's programme aimed at the sub-teen market). Those of us who have adult brains have to watch Channel 4 TV News instead. Goodbye, BBC!
The entire state visit of the midget president, was, of course, an expensive charade, the cost of which could easily have paid for a new NHS hospital somewhere - or, better still, cancelled all the disastrous hospital cleaning contracts in favour of directly employed NHS cleaning staff managed by the Ward Sisters - then we'd once again have clean hospitals and hospital acquired infections would become a thing of the past.
But all that's far too obvious for the vainglorious egotistical idiots who rule over us. So we have a midget French President talking nonsense in Francais to Gordon the Moron who talks nonsense in English. And the Household Cavalry parading up and down looking ridiculous in their ceremonial uniforms, and a state banquet at Buckingham Palace (well, the Royals have to be given something to do occasionally, don't they?). And it was all at the taxpayer's expense. Haven't seen that issue raised anywhere in the mass-media.
Gordon the Moron tried to appease malcontents like me by saying he'd cut the order for 'Idiot One' (the new Prime Ministerial plane) down to one plane instead of two (admitting there is more than one idiot in the Government would have been a step too far for Gordon). He desparately wants his own plane - after all, all the important countries in the world provide a private jet for their leaders, so why shouldn't Gordon the Moron have one?
Meanwhile, the one thing of any significance that was announced during the summit was that Britain and France would be co-operating more. Let's run that by you again. Britain and France will be co-operating more. Couldn't that have been put in an email between London and Paris, and vice-versa? Oh, no, that would have been far too lack-lustre. Let's spend millions of pounds unnecessarily on pandering to the egos of the idiots who think they're in charge and have a lavish state visit, and the mass media will undoubtedly approve because they know it will provide lots of free current affairs and news output for them. So we, the poor taxpayers, are taken for a ride as usual, and our hard-earned money (the few of us who are still working and/or paying tax, that is) will be spent on a junket for the already over-privileged. Situation normal.
And now to the real reason for the midget president's visit. Britain needs more nuclear reactors, and soon, or the nation's widescreen TVs are going to have blank screens due to a lack of electricity. And, since the idiots who rule over us have all but destroyed our nuclear industry, whereas the French have nurtured theirs, we need to suck up to the French to persuade them that once we've bought new reactors from them, we won't try and undercut their electricity prices at home.
And President Sarkozy? Why is he so keen to suck up to Gordon the Moron? Because he wants to show off his new wife to the world, that's why. After all, it's not every midget president who gets to bonk a beautiful catwalk model who used to take her clothes off in public, for money.
Just like the rest of us, under the expensive designer clothes, aren't they? The difference is that they get to spend most of our money whilst we get given bugger all by them.
'Nuff said.
