Indignant Virtue

Even in the Not Awfully Bright Party an occasional penny may drop, if only by the law of averages or instability of the pound sterling. The ludicrous Sayeeda Warsi has been vaguely worried about Islamophobia almost since she lost her position as Pigsticker Dave's token darkie chairbeing; and now one Tom Tugendhat seems to be suffering a bit of cognitive dissonance, if cognitive is the word I want, about Britain's standing in the ranks of global bullies. Apparently the Trumpster administration did not see fit to inform Her Majesty's Government of its intention to rally the anti-impeachment troops by starting a fight with Iran, despite Mr Churchill's having won the war and so forth. There are reports that the People's Haystack was unaware of the plan to assassinate Qassem Suleimani; although since the People's Haystack is busy being on holiday, this does not necessarily mean he wasn't told. Tom Tugendhat, who chaired the foreign affairs committee in the last parliament, has gone whining to the BBC that the Allies aren't treating him with the respect he considers his due, and that this is sad and a bit of a shame and a matter of concern to Tom Tugendhat. In the face of such an onslaught of statesmanship, we can only hope that the Trumpster administration will have the sense to mend its ways.
