Like most of the country, I have been following the news, and watching in amazement and exasperation as Theresa follows f*ck up with f*ck up, whilst Jeremy seemingly enhances his reputation and consolidates his position as Everyman. Even Dave would have been there, high profile, Sam at his side.
Headlines today. The area is crawling with volunteers, but not an official to be seen.
Yesterday. Tons of donated supplies in the town hall, yet the doors locked and not an official to be seen. Weekend innit mate.
WTF is wrong with Theresa? She seems to have been committing political suicide ever since the dementia tax before the election. Why can these people not realise that, short term, it is not doing that is important, but being seen to be doing. Something. Anything. Why has Theresa not been screaming at every public servant in the land? Be there. Be seen. Be high profile.
Up here, it would be 'nae ma job, pal'.
Current BBC front page headline : Government team to bolster relief effort. Well, yes, but only Monday to Friday, 9-5 apparently.
