It’s too easy.
And at the same time
It’s too hard.
I sit and think
What shall I write now
Too much choice
I want to write
Something uplifting
But I’m cross.
Cross all the time
And I think I need
To stop that
So here’s a joke:
How many tories
Does it take
To change a lightbulb?
A spad or two to decide to remove the existing lightbulb
A courtesan journalist to break the news on twitter at 10pm
A handful to invent something that doesn’t give off any light, but that matches some weird ideological position that they have.
A civil service who are asked to force this thing that isn’t a lightbulb into the socket
A minister to categorically state that the new approach is exactly what is needed
A prime minister to shout about the benefits of darkness
A minister to categorically state that darkness is the future and won’t be changing
A minister to announce that the policy has been dropped
A civil service to mop up the problems cause by all of the above.
I’ll have them rolling in the aisles.
