I’M NOT AT ALL SURE HOW THIS PAGE WILL WORK OUT

In its infinite wisdom, WordPress has introduced a new means of posting.

Munguin has become aware over the last few hours (and several attempts) that this new system is well beyond the technical abilities of his trusted but somewhat technologically inept general assistant.

He is thinking that he may be obliged to employ a better and more technically grounded staff, and is, as we speak, putting out feelers for the likes of Gates and Zuckerberg who will doubtless be grateful for the generous employment package offered by Munguin International.

In the meantime, if this page is not up to the usual high standards expected by our discerning and rather exclusive readership, then Munguin has personally promised to offer a refund of €1.25 per person, on the €40,000 membership fee.

Be grateful.

Munguin himself is appreciative of the contributions to this page from John, Andi and Dave. The page is published early because, if it turns out to be a total mess, Tris will have to start over and do it again and again until such time as he writes it right, even if this takes all day and all night.

PS: I know some of the numbers on the pics aren’t showing. But they were put there… they just did a runner at the thought of Bill Gates being in charge.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

The Rt Hon William Hague - GOV.UK

OK, I wasn’t going to post anything for a few days, but I couldn’t resist this.

I think the unionists must be getting seriously spooked by the popularity of the Scottish government and the fact that there is now a majority for independence.

I read earlier today that the Noble Lord Hague has suggested that a senior cabinet member should be appointed to look after the union (although I thought Boris had appointed himself as Minister for the Union), and I’m wondering if his nobleness wants the job for himself. (I think he’d be perfect for the job. I’m sure he must have been to Scotland at least once and that’s probably all the qualification you need.)

Now this… A new Act of Union, which might present a little bit of a challenge, you know, given that the Scots would have to sign up to it and given the polls (thanks to PP for sending this link in the last post) this is looking less than likely.

Here’s Mr Daisley’s plan for putting us uppity Jocks back in our box under Empire II:

Munguin thinks it stinks. And it seems it’s not going down well on Twitter.

This is hilarious. How can you have an Act of Union without explicitly acknowledging two separate entities? His answer to a partner wanting a divorce is to impose a second marriage on that partner, with fewer rights than before…

I’ll be out all day tomorrow, but feel free to chatter among yourselves.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

This is just a reminder that the UK isn’t the only country being run by the inmates of a madhouse. Read on and you’ll understand why…

Liz Truss: 'You have to put yourself forward... No one else will ...

It seems that the UK government gave £225 million of our money to a company with capital of £100, owned by a friend of Liz Truss, to pay for medical-grade masks which unfortunately are hopelessly inadequate for the task and cannot be used.

All of this was done with no tendering process. Just handed to the company as easily as if Ms Truss had been off buying some of her famous British cheese. 

Happily, it appears Jo Maugham is on the case.

But can you imagine the unionists if this had been the Scottish Government and not the English one?

…Or if this had been the other way around…

It’s fair to say that I have been unable to find verification of these numbers. Someone with peerless Googling skills (hint hint) might get on it?

CONGRATULATIONS TO DROSS

If you only have one day as First Minister (titters) and your first priority is to get tough on ‘Gypsy Travellers’, what does that make you?

If you find it hard to answer that, you may wish to reflect on some of his other decisions previously mentioned on this blog:

Tories2

So, he doesn’t like “Gypsy Travellers” nor does he like gay rights, or indeed any other human rights and he doesn’t believe in equality.

He also doesn’t like the EU, and despite the Scottish people voting relatively strongly to remain in the EU, he doesn’t want their parliament to have any say in negotiations on them being the only nation in the UK being dragged out of Europe against their will.

He also doesn’t want the Scottish parliament to have any more powers. That is interesting as what it really means is that he wants the London parliament, which is a predominantly Engish parliament, to decide stuff for Scotland, rather than the Scottish parliament, which is an exclusively Scottish affair.

He’s against taxing banks which make massive profits and which only 10 years ago cost us so incredibly dearly…every one of us. He seems, too, to be a climate change denier, which is, if you don’t mind me saying so, a pretty dumb thing to be.

So what is he for, you might well ask.

Well clearly, he wants the NHS reformed and I’m guessing that means sold off to whoever will pay most for it, regardless of what they do with it. And he is keen to reduce the services you get from your local council and hopes to do this by reducing their funding.

All-in-all, he sounds like a right nasty piece of work. 

Of course, he cannot actually take any part in running Scotland at the moment, because he isn’t an MSP. So, presumably, his deputy will be running things until such time as he makes the top of the list somewhere where he will certainly be elected. After all, that is what deputies do, isn’t it?

Leave him in my capable hands, Boris!

That would have made for some entertaining exchanges at First Minister’s Questions, but it seems, alas, that that entertainment is to be denied us.

Because, I can only imagine that Annie has her hands full with other things, although what exactly, I’m not sure, unless it’s her friend from their holiday, erm I mean fact-finding trip, in Israel.

Because it is rumoured that we are to be paid an inestimable honour. Yes, the Right Honourable, Noble and Gallant Aristocrat has stepped up to the plate to save Annie some time in her, …erm busy, …erm schedule. 

Ruth Davidson quits as Scottish Conservative leader - BBC News
Right Dross, I’m on it, we soon ride roughshod through that Scottish parliament and put the boot in.

Amazingly, Her Aristocraticness’s situation must have changed since that Blue Blood transfusion, and suddenly she has found herself capable of being an MSP, running FMQs, attending to her aristocratic duties in London, like a proper Lady, and looking after her son, which only a few short months ago was the only thing she could find time for.

Of course, with her elevation, it is possible she has managed to engage a nanny. Mr Rees Mogg had one going spare, I heard.
