Hmmm … 

Have you ever heard of an American chap called James Comey?

He’s the now ex-head of the USA’s Federal Bureau of Investigation.

He’s the ex-head … 

As President Trump sacked him last night.

Apparently for making a dogs dinner of the investigation in Hilary Clinton’s emails, during the presidential election, last year.

Director Comey was also in charge of the investigations into the Trump campaign team’s links with Russia during the same election.

To me?

Sacking the chap who’s investigating you seems …

Well …

Let’s put it this way …

I can smell rat.

How about you … ?

Now, THAT’S a worry … 

I’ve just had my rota for next week.

And found I’ve got two shifts.

I really don’t like that.

For a start, it means seriously short time working: AND short money.

And the simple fact that — right now — I’m looking at giving up a job I like.

Because?

Because I’ve not got enough shifts, next week, I can’t afford a railway ticket the week after.

I’m going to have to go on the proverbial scrounge.

But … ?

I’m understandably worried, angry … 

And deeply concerned …

Hmmm … 

Caroline Lucas, one of the Green party’s co-leaders, was on Radio 4, this morning.

Advocating the idea of a progressive alliance for the 2017 General election.

In other words?

The idea that in a given constituency— in the up-coming general election — those candidates who have little chance of winning stand aside.

In favour of an opposition candidate who stands a better chance of winning the seat.

Hmmm … 

Personally?

I voted Green in the recent local elections for Essex Council.

Indeed, have a Green party poster in my window.

For me, a mix things has contributed to that. My feelings of disillusion with the Liberal Democrats, my belief that Labour don’t stand a chance of winning the Brentwood and Ongar seat, and I’m blowed if I’m voting Conservative.

I can understand Ms Lucas’ position.   It gives individual leftist parties a greater chance of winning a seat, and it works out cheaper for local parties: in terms of deposits, advertising and other costs.

I’m, personally, don’t know if the Green’s will be fielding a candidate in Brentwood.

I hope they do: I’d rather vote for someone.

But if they don’t?

I have my usual option of spoiling my vote available to me.

Vive la Vote blanc … !

Dr Who — Series 10: Episode 4 — Knock, Knock

7th May, 2017.

You know … 

I’ve actually had a Sunday off.

Or, at least, been given one off.

Work’s been cutting hours: rolling around from the winter season for its clients, to the summer season.

OK … 

Less money … 

But more time off … 

To at least do the laundry in less a rush.

Hang on … 

Just going to put a shirt on …

It’s a Sunday … 

And, for once … ?

It’s a Sunday where I’m not working.

That’s going to give me less money, next payday.

But, for the moment … ?

Means I have extra time to sleep, do laundry … 

And watch Dr Who*, tonight … 

Here’s hoping …
