Transparently Defensive

One of the more patriotic explanations for the success of the Trumpster and his head=tribble in America and the Farage Falange on the mainland is the insidious influence of the beastly Russians, as if the English-speaking peoples might have some aversion to voting racist or stupid without a substantial injection of foreign cash. Team Starmer's Minister for Wog-Bombing, who evidently has nothing more important to do these days, has joined in the optimism with a written urge to the strutting Caudillo of the Farage Falange about the latter's recently revealed billionaire bung. Depending on whether you believe the strutting Caudillo himself or the strutting Caudillo himself, the five million in question was either a donation towards the great man's security or a reward for liberating our great Nation from decades of unwelcome prosperity; but the Minister for Wog-Bombing has demanded assurances that the lucre was tainted neither by connections to Tsar Vladimir nor by excessive support for the Persian Crusade. It is to be hoped that the strutting Caudillo's response will aspire to the transparency, the parsimony and the freedom from foreign influence for which the British Ministry for Wog-Bombing has long been renowned.
