'It's time for us to move on.'
Wednesday 27th May 2020, 9am
Let's not spend any more time trawling over the pros and cons of Dominic Cumming's comings and goings. He did, he didn't, he may have done, he may not have done this, that or the other. We need now to concentrate on really important things like the failure of my gardener to trim the edges of the lawn on his last (and I should ephasise) socially distanced visit. This far outweighs any anxieties produced by the vagaries of the Dominic Cummings case. And furthermore, I note that my favourite coffee cup has a new hairline crack running from the lip to the handle. This devastating news will take some time to fully absorb but I think we should face it, deal with it, as the people of this nation have so often dealt with difficulties in the past. Individually of course, I cannot expect you all to give a tuppeny damn about my coffee cup, but this is exactly the sort of issue that has been left without attention for so long, mostly because of the media's undue interest in the Cummings Affair. We need now, and urgently, to assign The Cummings Affair to the dustbin of history and focus on those things which will really make a difference in the extraordinary cirumstances in which we find ourselves. My coffee cup is but an example of this. It stands, as it so often has, for what really matters in life and particularly in our national psyche.
What does it matter what a Number Ten employee did with his family when he, they, were, or were not, or might have been, or might not have been, ill? Very little is the answer. The whole focus of the world's media in now and has been scrutinising this matter to the exclusion of all other vital matters. The result is a huge imbalance in people's minds. People are totally incapable of doing anything other than following the media lead in these matters. They cannot come to their own conclusions. They cannot simply switch off the radio or television. So the government has to step in and stop it. Now! May I suggest the slogan: 'Bring Back the Coffee Cup to the Headlines and Stop Pfaffing About with the Cummings Affair.' Even if I say so myself, it has a certain ring about it. Which my coffee cup obviously doesn't now. It's more of a dull clunk.
Let's get back to the good old days of sterile Brexit debates! We felt at the time that we really didn't need them any more, they were driving us mad, but now they seem like the contemplation of a golden age. We knew where we were with Brexit. Nowhere. It went this way, then that, then this, then that, then this, then that, then this, then that. Votes were useless in resolving matters and Theresa May....er....who was she again? Anyway, we need all that back again. May I suggest the slogan: "We need a hole in our heads. We need a hole in our heads, now!" It has a certain ring to it. Unlike my coffee cup.
Anyway...what was I saying...?
