Getting over it.

OK. (Takes a deep breath.) I’m getting over it. I will hold my nose and give Johnson and the Tories a chance. I vehemently remain a European and hope, beyond hope, that the Labour party can now find someone just left of centre who can hold a candle to whatever you wish to call the new party in power – one nation conservatives they are not. Labour certainly need a strong leader in the ballot box. How that’s going to work in the next couple of months with Corbyn holding on looks messy.

Oh well. But, you know what? Not, oh well. Not when we’re a decade away from loosing many species of animals; a decade short of who knows what climate calamities. I said on Wednesday, and I’ll say it again, the Green party – or similar – will be hurried into power when we’re putting out the fires in our gardens with the rising sea water around our ankles. And, and I’m guessing most of the people who read this are ‘older’, this may not effect us. Indeed, we might enjoy our swansong with warmer summers in this darkening country – which, by the way, will be the union of England and Wales before 2030 – but our children will never thanks us. And our grandchildren will despise us.

So, my mate Boris. Do what ever you will with the civil service. Build 20 new hospitals, employ tens of thousands of new nurses, put bobbies back on the beat, introduce a new points-based immigration system, give more money to schools, privatise the BBC, give Ofsted more power and get Brexit done. But, whilst you’re at it, champion the planet. Set up a new, cross-party ministry for the climate. Make every decision … every decision, climate change based. You want to reboot the country? Do so. Please. Do what ever you like …

… but lead the world on making this place safe for future generations to live. You owe that to your 5/6 children.
