Well! Yesterday was not a day many of us will forget. Putting aside the scenes in the Commons last night I had already had an extraordinary day. I have lost a suitcase. Actually lost one! Thinking to get well ahead of myself I went to get out my suitcases from a cupboard in my spare room. Where there should have been two only one was there. So I then spent hours looking for the lost one. Every part of my house and barn was searched. It is not here!
My head reeled by the end of the day....what on earth could have I have done with it ? It must have come home with me from the last cruise...but it’s not here. I may have lent it to someone and then forgotten about it...that is the only reasonable explanation.
So I have sent for a new one which means the lost one will turn up now. But all of this paled into insignificance last night with the scenes from Parliament filling my screen.
Rhetoric is something Boris can do. And he did. The scenes played out in the commons last night were truly appalling...it is becoming very obvious that we have an adolescent Prime Minister who has to grow up fast. A general election is clearly needed but Boris wants the opposition to ask for it. This they are not prepared to do.....they are enjoying the screams of frustration from the Prime Minister too much.
I will keep the radio on as I move around the house, looking for my lost suitcase......it’s certainly not dull anywhere right now!

I think that Boris is guilty of much, but so are other members of the houses of parliament. The atmosphere was toxic. Those gloating over the defeat in the Supreme Court, those for remain who have described those wanting to leave as "illiterate", "uneducated" and a whole raft of other names. And leavers reciprocate. In such a febrile atmosphere, with so many at odds with each other, I am surprised the police were not called to a fight in the Mother of all Parliaments.
I have heard many people just saying that they want this mess done and over and that we need a General Election, which would sort it out once and for all.
But Labour are running scared, determined to push through their own political agenda, without any consideration of how many in the country see them. Mr Corbyn is trying hard to hide his marxist credentials, but his party are showing their slip by the motions passed at their conference to take over private schools and possibly to nationalise all industries - at what cost? More borrowing and debt, which we are gradually getting down.
Remember the seventies, when GB went to the IMF to borrow money and De Gaulle described us as the "Sick Man of Europe" those times are to far in the past for many youngsters to remember, but I can and I am sure you can as well.
A lot of that time I was abroad with the Army in Europe and looking askance at the media, not believing how bad things had got. In the military where we were not allowed to voice a political opinion, all we could hope for was a Tory Government, which eventually came about in 79 with Mrs Thatcher. She is denigrated daily now, but she changed the face of politics and the country, we need someone as radical nowadays, but without her tendencies towards making the poor, poorer.
Boris isn't a patch on her, he is following a narrow agenda, which predicts a huge election win for the Tories, and a sweeping away of those who oppose him. But he might get more than he is bargaining for. Mr Farage....
