Just Because…

We’ve really tried to hold back on comment about…you know what…it’s been a strain requiring painkillers to get over the effects of a tongue bitten too hard just once too often.  So why break the silence now, since the outcome is already blindingly obvious?  It seems petty, but really it’s a reminder that there is nothing too small to lie about – and of course we mean placing bets on the date of the election just after your boss has told you the date of the election.  Sheesh.  But it’s no surprise is it?  Who could forget fast-tracked friends given huge PPE contracts for which they got paid for delivering unusable crap?  And making huge profits – not for them the “wartime spirit all pull together for the Nation” attitude – nope it’s the normal (or even larger) profit margin and “when’s the next pandemic ‘cos this one is making me very rich?”

And so a couple of pieces of advice and comment – first Dylan reminds us that “I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler” before adding that  “if the people don’t like me they can leave me alone.”

And then Dick Gaughan has some harsh words: “Lucky for some rolling with the loaded dice /  lucky for some gambling with others’ lives / lucky for some dealing from a marked-up deck / they made their luck by stomping on everyone else / …/ lucky for some – tough shit for everyone else.”  Originally about the music biz, but oh so appropriate.
