23rd September 2018

Feeling a little depressed. Is it the political impasse this country’s going through at the moment?  Theresa May in Salzberg looked fabulous in that designer red jacket, making Angela Merkel look very dowdy. However, the red jacket didn’t help the PM as she was summarily ridiculed and humiliated by the other EU leaders. What short memories they all have. Doesn’t Poland remember how we came to their aid 70+ years ago?  And France, as new boy Macron idly dreams of his future role as President of the United States of Europe - can it be they too have forgotten how they would have been caught forever in that no-man’s land of Nazi occupation if it hadn’t been for Britain and the US?  Well, as I stare out at this rain-sodden autumnal Sunday, I haven’t forgotten. My late father would be saying Germany’s already won, strutting the EU stage. And there’s poor, isolated Theresa in her red jacket....the hills are alive with the sound of Brexit.
