2017 May 30 - Election: 1 week to go
If you live in the UK, then there’s just one week to go until the election. That means 7 more sleepless nights until we find out whether Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott will be in charge of the UK’s anti-terrorism policy. It’s a scary thought and in all honesty, I’d place more trust in that tiger that ate a zookeeper over the weekend in Cambridgeshire. In an odd twist of events this weekend also saw police in Florida arrested Tiger Woods for drink-driving and for a while I briefly misunderstood what had happened.
But to clarify, Tiger Woods didn’t kill and eat anyone, although Jeremy Paxman did have a go at chewing over the party leaders in a series of interviews that frankly didn’t reveal a whole lot. Theresa May muddied the waters around about the so-called Dementia Tax and the Labour team continued to be vague about the IRA and whether Osama Bin Laden was a goodie or a baddie. Frankly, I wish Michael Howard was somehow involved in the campaign just so that Paxman could finally get to the bottom of whether he’d threatened to overrule Derek Lewis back in the mid-90s.
There are of course other parties though, the LibDems, UKIP, Plaid Cymru, the Greens and in Scotland, there’s also the SNP or as it’s more formally known, Her Majesty’s Nicola Sturgeon. So for now, keep your political wits about you because on June the 8th the nation decides. And as Vladimir Putin might add “and zat nation ees Russia!” Only joking of course, even he couldn’t make much of a dent in those poll numbers.
