Partly Facetious: That's politics my friend...

27 Mar, 2020

"The Prime Minister has come of age."
"I reckon barring two elements of activity he came of age a long time ago."
"I disagree."
"Well, isn't he cutting ribbons on projects whose ribbons were cut by his predecessors as well?"
"Yes, but if he allows any funds to be earmarked for any project, ongoing or where work has yet to begin, in my book cutting the ribbon is legitimate."
"OK and not for his predecessors?"
"That's politics my friend - you know like the difference between lockdown and curfew is difficult and I would advise everyone to refer to the Prime Minister's definition of the terms..."
"I thought it was more like what is good for the goose is not good for the gander."
"As long as the leaders of the opposition are the geese and the Prime Minister the gander..."
"It's the same species for Pete's sake..."
"The gander my friend has not only temporal, read politics, but also spiritual guidance and..."
"Oh shush, anyway the Prime Minister doesn't read out speeches, like his predecessors, and unlike his predecessors in spite of the passage of a year and a half he has not yet learned to work with them however serious the issues at hand; and the latest proof of this pudding is his address to the parliamentary leaders and then leaving the meeting."
"Hmmm, though nearly all if not all the opposition leaders have got their reprieves from the legal system..."
"Cases are ongoing..."
"But they are out of jail."
"Right, but speaking of the Prime Minister coming of age he blamed the provinces of coming under media pressure and instituting a lock down which has baffled his front line soldiers - The Buzz and the Chief Minister KP - as they are more loyal to him than...than..."
"Loyal to the Prime Minister to the nth degree, the maximum possible without any limit - man made!"
"Agreed, as long as he is prime minister though."
"You are so bad."
