Let’s Talk About Me

“Probably the most desperate election strategy ever devised”, said my good friend Anne Alogee. Ms Alogee was referring to the latest bumbling attempt by election hopeful Little Bo Tox to try and deflect attention from the popular and capable politician she is trying to discredit so she can win the upcoming general election against all odds.

Li’l Bo’s level of panic has, in the last couple of weeks, risen to heights that would give even the most seasoned climbers nosebleeds. Lacking any new or innovative policies to grab the nation’s attention, she and her dinosaur party have tried to unearth skeletons from the Government’s closet for the last several weeks. When it was able to be proved that none of these “skeletons” were anything more than theatre props, she and her clumsy sidekick, Billy Bunter have decided to use winks and innuendo to get some traction.

This failed to get any traction with the media asking them to explain what they were implying and in true Nat style, they were unable to articulate as they had already assumed they would be taken at face value and nobody would question them.

Now that attempt to mislead the electorate into thinking the Government, who unlike them, had nothing to gain by trying to hide the truth from voters Little Bo Tox has thrown her toys out of the pram and is trying the tactic used by the POTUS for the last few months of complaining that she’s being treated unfairly. Boo bloody hoo!

She now claims that the PM has no right to run the country! This is a rather novel (though completely stupid) approach to how a democracy works. Last time I looked, it was the head of state who ran things (especially during crises) and not some hard-faced bat with delusions of beauty and wisdom, who won’t even be leading her party six months from now.

The whole thing is based upon, her claim that it is not fair, because the PM is getting all the attention while she is running the country and managing the Covid19 pandemic. As the PM has said in response to this stupid tantrum, she is still the Prime Minister and she and her Government have a clear mandate to continue to run this country, including managing the Covid19 situation without any political interference from the opposition who would open the doors to anyone with a spare few million to bring into the economy and the resultant casualties suffered would merely be collateral damage and necessary so that the died-in-the-wool Nat voters could return to their previous obscene levels of income.

Now she even wants the election postponed, which has to be so that she can get some better polling figures before we all go to the polls.

And this is all from the woman who tried to get out of a situation where she had stuffed her stiletto into her foul gob when claiming nobody had ever escaped while she was Minister of Corrections by later claiming she had been making a joke. When asked how anyone could tell when she was joking, she said it was if her eyebrows went up.

So there; you now know that Little Bo Tox is ALWAYS joking because her eyebrows never come down. It is much easier to tell when she is telling porkies, though because that is whenever her lips are moving.

Even if we were to throw the spotlight on the interim leader of the opposition we would still only get a load of innuendo about the alleged misdeeds of the Government and a bunch of slogans and sound bites masquerading as policy, for which any attempt to elicit any actual details will result in even more sound bites and click bait…….ad infinitum.

However, thankfully the Government is not going to cave into her pathetic pleas to have the spotlight shone on her shiny forehead and the PM delivered a very terse response reminding her that we are actually in the middle of a crisis here and this is not the time for that sort of politicking. As usual she is keeping her eyes on the road and ignoring the whining from the back seat.
