Chokey

Just dropping by this afternoon to say that, of course, I want to see everybody involved in the genocide in Gaza in prison, along with those responsible for the outrages in Ukraine and all the other parts of the world where terror is being inflicted on the innocent.

Also hoping that Donald Trump lives long enough – preferably after being impeached before winter sets in again – to spend a few years inside a prison cell. He could share with P Diddy and Harvey Weinstein.

Then there’s Michelle Mone, who is in the media again following this week’s BBC documentary. Again, she deserves to go to prison for a long stretch; stealing 29 million pounds is a serious offence, especially when it was only possible because of the Covid pandemic. I do believe, though, that she is singled out for being a woman – a blonde woman at that – when men in suits commit similar offences, and have done for generations, without attracting the same amount of hatred and ridicule. There’s a fair bit of hypocrisy and male chauvinism to be seen here, and the fact that she built her fortune on selling padded bras adds that necessary frisson of kinky sex to make her a perfect target for snobs and incels.

Meanwhile, there will be no Galloway National Park. The landowners win again. Flamingo Land at Loch Lomond is acceptable to the Scottish government, a National Park in Wigtownshire & the Stewartry is not. In all honesty, we knew the way the wind was blowing long before this week, didn’t we?
