When PM announced election date with enviable poll lead, Tories were heading for landslide, giving her enormous boost to face German Chancellor in Brexit negotiations, securing favourable terms that would enhance our economy. We all supported her stance that “No deal is better than bad deal” threatening to walk out if bullied by unelected Shylock EU officials, another Lady Thatcher, “Messiah in the Making”.
But when Tories published their manifesto, longest suicide note in politics, upsetting every one, OAPs, families and young people who stormed voting booths with 72% turnout, we knew Contented PM was heading for hung parliament.
Corpulent Conservatives failed to take hint from this humiliating result. PM’s visit to “Grenfell Tower” has proved another disaster in public relations, JC outsmarting PM at every corner. Instead of visiting shelters, comforting victims, like our Queen and Prince William, pedantic PM, surrounded by security personals, was in and out in a flash.
In sharp contrast, JC seized this opportunity with both hands, visiting shelters, comforting, hugging victims, sharing their pain with restrained dignity, giving photographers golden opportunity to fill their papers with heart-warming photographs.
This sharp contrast in style, cements public opinion, perhaps erroneously, that PM is self-opinionated, out of touch with reality, living on borrowed time. It is time to abolish unsustainable “Overseas Aid” in favour of looking after our own, rebuilding London for the needy, befitting the fifth largest economy in the world. How the mighty have fallen!
