Partly Facetious : Non-event turned into event?

Updated 16 Oct, 2019

"Ha ha, ha - only the British can turn a much hyped event into a non-event."

"I thought it was the other way round - a non event was turned into an event or such was the objective."

"What ever do you mean?"

"The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson heads a minority government... hey, The Khan keeps referring to his time in the UK so why doesn't he follow the Johnson route - he can get rid of all the pesky coalition partners and form a minority government..."

"It won't work that way here - the opposition is going to bring a vote of no confidence and viola he is out!"

"I don't agree - remember what happened with the Opposition move to change the Senate Chairman?"

"Zardari sahib, the PhD in Politics, miscalculated I reckon; speaking of miscalculation I would like to state that when I said the British can turn a much hyped event into a non event I wasn't referring to the Queen's speech in parliament where Boris Johnson laid out his legislative agenda which he doesn't have the numbers to be able to deliver..."

"That reminds me of the fate of The Khan's legislative agenda!"

"Yes and perhaps this time the British should learn a lesson from us - our governments can resort to ordinances."

"Anyway as I said I wasn't referring to the Queen's speech I was referring to Price William and his wife landing in Pakistan..."

"I was reminded of Princess Diana's unofficial visit to Pakistan when the entire British Embassy went on leave - I mean there was no one around but us chickens I remember thinking at the time...but we covered her and we loved her and we cried at her untimely death..."

"The British High Commissioner released his own video before the visit..."

"Good heavens!"

"Indeed; anyway one can't help but compare and Kate Middleton's arrival dress was dowdy, I remember Diana dressed well in her choice of outfit..."

"Diana had Jemima Khan to help her with the dress, so be kind."

"Given that The Khan has moved on you reckon Kate Middleton asked the incumbent Mrs Khan for fashion advice before landing...."

"Mrs Khan is generic if you know what I mean, there are literally millions of Mrs Khans..."

"I give up."
