Oh Woe is me ! Boris Johnson can't manage his finances on his meagre wages of £150,000.00p (plus expenses)

Just how would you manage to get by on £150,000 a year? You'd only have mere £1,743 a week to struggle by on. 

Apparently, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has been carping to pals that this isn't enough to live on.

Johnson is reported to be in a foul mood because he can barely afford a nanny and doesn't have a housekeeper. Only a cleaner. 

Not to mention the alleged payments for 4 of the 6 children he has sired ! Just how is he to afford a decent barber and tailor on this pittance?

Mind you, bearing in mind he allegedly "stiffed" the Daily Telegraph by being paid for writing absolute bilge on top of his MP's salary such that the former Editor of the Telegraph and absolutely "true blue" Tory to use the following description of Doris Johnson speaks volumes for his ability as a journalist;

If I had one iota of sympathy for Johnson then I'd be a liar equivalent to "Tom Pepper" who was allegedly kicked out of Hell for telling Porky Pies !

Boris ignores the rule of law to put Britain in the Banana Republic category

Brexit negotiations and his actions this last week, have had the diametrically opposite impact Boris Johnson will have wanted !

The UK cannot remove part of the withdrawal agreement simply by passing an act of parliament. The withdrawal agreement is an international treaty, not a set of options. Treaties, once agreed, cannot be cherry-picked. 

Most obviously it will make a future trade deal nigh impossible – and clearly it's the fault of Britain because it would be Britain that is reneging on a treaty signed only months before. 

It will poison relations with Europe for years to come. Given the state of UK relations with China and Russia, it would only leave America as Britain’s sole friend in terms of global power players. 

So Bojo and the arch clown Trump are hell bent on bringing both countries to their respective knees by their populist antics ! The problem being this particular "Looking Glass" is mirroring the downfall of both systems with Tweedledee and Tweedledum at their helms.

All of this perversely bodes well for n-Alba !  Since even the numpty fishermen and farmers who previously voted for Scottish Tories will have wakened up to the fact that there is no such animal and the list clowns purporting to be Tories in Holyrood will be looking for a job soon enough !

Not all Tories are arses, but this Government most certainly are !

 Without a shadow of doubt Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings and this government have cast a shadow over the numerous decent law abiding Tories throughout England. 

Across the length and breadth of the shires of England though, there are millions of hard working and honest people who believe in the fundamentals of "Conservatism and Unionism" but it has been crystally clear with their handling of Covid-19 as well as Brexit that the present cabinet/gang of incompetent, greedy, self-centred, grasping and indeed lying fannies are only interested in themselves and their cronies. 

None more so than the Billy Bunter character that is Boris Johnson!

" Crikey I say you chaps ! " 

This Billy Bunter's "Bargain" from 10 Downing Street is only a bargain for his inner coterie and those whose assets are safely salted away in the Channel Islands and the Caribbean !

My real dilemma is that; This Billy Bunter is an asset to Independence and is probably the key to the achievement of that "Nirvana" but for  my friends and family south of Hadrian's Wall, he is an utter clown whose actions will have a detrimental affect on their lives !!

The "United Kingdom" shoot themselves in the foot with accuracy which would've guaranteed Olympic Gold !

 Boris Johnson has yet again brought the U.K. to the edge of an economic precipice !

The world's highest paid clown has reduced the United Kingdom to a complete laughing stock on the global stage! In planning to over-ride the previously agreed parts of the withdrawal agreement and the specific affect this will have on the Island of Ireland (including the 6 counties) this buffoon is endangering the peace agreement !  

If he or more precisely, his puppet master Dominic Cummings, think this will shift the E.U. from the previously agreed position then he is even more stupid than the pictures above show!

Likewise the numpties who own the "Fishing Rights" to the waters around the UK shores. These greedy, self centred fannies will see their support for the Tories in the NE of Scotland wasted as the same Tories will abandon them and their quotas quicker than an eel from their nets.

Greed is the only thing Britain stands for now 

The "Autumn" of a house-mouse !

 I'm in the throes of reading and very much enjoying, a host of John Mortimer books and took the liberty of plagiarising one of his titles since it so closely resembles my life as a "Septuagenarian".

Not I hasten to add, that I see myself as a Caledonian version of "Rumpole", rather more that Mortimer's analysis of his later years does in some ways resemble my life in my seventh decade ! 

Having said that, in Wilma/Bunty I do have a much better half in "She who must be obeyed". I suppose that a predilection for port could also count and since there is no equivalent of "Pomeroy's" in Inverness, then the "Inverness Caley Thistle Supporters Club" fulfils the role more than adequately! 

Further investigation into Rumpole though has also highlighted our joint love of Fried Breakfasts and Steak and Kidney Pudding, yet I have managed to stop the nicotine as opposed to Horace's love of cheroots.

The title comes from a quotation from Byron (who by the way went to school in Aberdeen);

So it is with age, that it becomes increasingly difficult to carry out such mundane tasks as putting on ones socks, bending to tie shoe-laces (the answer there is to buy slip on shoes).

Bending down for any task, comes with its own dilemmas, insofar that the blood seems to drain from the heart straight to the brain and induces some form of vertigo! 

The worst effect is that of having been a smoker for akin to half a century, the breathing (essential for life itself) is almost a form of PT with gasping as though at the end of an assault course.

My favourite participative sport was Golf, now though only with the aid of an "Electric Buggy"! Fortunately the beautiful course at Aigas near Beauly has one for hire at a reasonable rate and the course is a mere 9 hole effort.

Bunty makes this an ideal autumnal outing and if she keeps improving will be taking me to the cleaners and not just metaphorically.

 

Two wheeled "Dumplings" ignore cycle lanes to use the pavement !

 

 I actually applaud the increased use of bicycles since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic ! What does get on my wick is the number of numpties who for reasons best known to themselves choose to ride their bikes on the pavement !

The dictionary definition of a "pavement" is;

"a raised paved or asphalted path for pedestrians at the side of a road."

For the benefit of the numpties who choose to ride their bikes on the pavement and obviously don't understand words with more than two syllables;

A "pedestrian" means someone who walks as opposed to using a vehicle/bicycle !

There is actually a law on the statute books of the UK going back to the 19th century prohibiting the use of pavements by cyclists, a fact that is obviously going over the head of the lycra clad muppets with the half easter egg helmets

STAY OFF THE PAVEMENTS MUPPETS 

Itinerant "Travellers" found camping in Wester Ross

 In a somewhat futile attempt to evade scrutiny about various matters of state on his desk in 10 Downing Street, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson escaped to the Highlands of the country in which he is held in lowest esteem possible, Scotland !

Despite the so called secrecy surrounding his planned and announced "holiday" in Scotland, Boris was found in a not so remote area of Wester Ross a mere 6 miles north of the delightful village of Applecross.

Bunty and I have sampled and enjoyed the beauty that is Applecross and the direct road to the village which frankly is not for the faint hearted  or indeed anyone with a nervous disposition:

Single track with passing places will test your forbearance and your fellow travellers road manners as you wend your way to the gem that is Applecross.

Nonetheless, de Pfeffel Johnson was some 6 miles further up the coast on the less hazardous route ! Having rented a holiday cottage and presumably then decided to erect a tent (for either his security entourage or Wilfred his dog) in a farmers sheep field but without permission and indeed took the liberty of starting a fire in the same field!

As his whereabouts became common knowledge (if you're a Daily Mail reader since they broke the story), his security team decided that his blubbery Etonian body could easily be seen from the road and any potential sniper would have to be blind not to be able to hit the target, it was back to London and the safety of Downing Street.

Needless to say the right wing press are all spouting bile about the SNP having exposed this location and endangering Mr Blobby despite the inescapable fact that it was the Tory mouthpiece the Daily Mail who ran the story.  

SCOTLAND WANTS HIM IN POWER HE'S OUR BEST ADVERT FOR INDEPENDENCE !!
