I've had enough of stupid ideas from clownish politicians

The National

They of course take their lead from one clueless moron after another who take the job as prime minister. When looking at the last few, it could maybe be renamed Prime Prat. Listening to him these past few days, with his latest completely nonsensical scheme about local health arrangements to try to deflect from the chronic state of the hospitals, is both hilarious and absolutely disgusting. He wants to use technology just when half of the institutions are being hit by cyber attacks, and is going to man these pie-in-the-sky arrangements with imaginary workers. It's the stuff of make believe that people who should be in straitjackets mutter.
Why can't they just fund things properly instead of applying one-hundredth of what is actually needed to resolve important matters, and shouting from the rooftops that they are resolving these issues when they know damned well they are not and when in reality they are not even applying a sticking plaster to the problem?
Have no fear, though, as they can miraculously find an unlimited supply of money in the billions to buy more bombs.
Spending more money on lawyers to try to prevent victims of one government catastrophe after another being paid the money for their lives being absolutely ruined – like in the cases of the sub-postmasters and infected blood victims – tells us all we need to know.
The English establishment does not want the common people to ever prosper.
As I daily shake my head in disbelief as one clown after another takes the position and then proposes one massively stupid policy idea after another, which inevitably damages our lives even more, I think that the only way such clowns could be anywhere near positions of authority is thanks to the huge support from the English media, which puts them up as saviours then hangs them out to dry almost as soon as they start completely messing everything up.
This leads me to think the only way this scenario can play out again and again and again is because the media constantly treat the electorate as absolute fools to be manipulated whatever way they like, and we know why: keep them in the dark, clueless and ignorant.
If you need any further proof of this comment, never forget the Church of England was vehemently against even opening schools to start educating the poor common children until as late as the 1870s, as they felt an educated public could bring down the crooked establishment like a house of cards. Now the House of 'Lords' has 26 Bishops gaining automatic entry into this bloated, archaic institution which helps uphold decisions that ruin all of our lives.
Oh, for a strong indy leader with an ounce of fight in him/her who will refuse to take this utter bull*** and daylight robbery we have to suffer one moment longer, someone who would at least publish an instant and genuine response to the ludicrously crooked GERS bull**** we all have to endure each year. But no ... that would make too much sense.
OK, I best be off now to catch more octogenarians in Adidas tops and baseball caps hiding copies of your paper again, or if I miss them, try find where they have hidden copies of the paper and give it centre stage.
