Grrrrrr!

Heard that the UK Prime Minister is to meet President Hollande at the G8 today.  Earlier on I’d heard Hollande’s team are taking a 30% reduction in their salaries.  Wonder if the topic will come up during their tête-á-tête?  Will it cause Cameron’s hair to turn white with apoplexy at the very thought of his mismanagement of the UK, inflicting financial reductions on everyone except government and rich.  Naaaa, he’ll expect them to look adversity of austerity in the face and increase the British economy.  What with?  Buttons or bartering?  Or will the new French President shame Cameron into following his lead?  Yeah, and pigs might fly.

Which brings me to another thorn.  The Olympics.  I still can’t believe the audacity of the government expecting people to put on a ‘show’ to promote this country in a good light.  Pffff!  How can they have continued spending billions on the event, while penny-pinching from those ill-able, literally, to afford it?  The obvious answer is David Cameron should change his name to Jack, as he’s all right, ain’t he?

There’s almost no escape from Olympic-mania.  It’s bad enough that reminders of it (did anyone forget?) are reported on radio, television and newspapers.  But worse, my escape programmes on craft are infected with it.  Pass me the sick bag.

Shops are closing left, right and centre, making ghost towns of High Streets, but bank managers still get their humungous bonuses.  Pass me a fresh sick bag.

I am not normally such a wet blanket, but have had a gutful of the ministry of nonsense, forcing policies on the less well off and needy, while they swan around as if nothing is amiss.

A cup of soothing tea and some serious, calming, crafting is needed methinks.  Happy crafting all :) Susan
