THE BITCH AND THE BASTARD

I have always suspected the quality of the loyalty of New Labour’s hierarchy to this nation and this weekend my suspicions on this point were confirmed by an article written by a former assistant high commissioner to Ghana. The gentleman recounted an incident at an official dinner given by the government of Ghana for Clare Short, who at the time was Overseas Aid Secretary, whose official remit was to distribute money extricated under duress from British taxpayers, to overseas despots, to enable them to squander specie on luxuries they would not otherwise have been able to afford.

Miss Short took great joy in squandering our money, it gave her the balls which nature had cruelly denied her, it also gave her a platform for her views, for under normal circumstances nobody of any sense would have taken the slightest notice of the woman. At the afore mentioned banquet, her hosts made some flattering remarks about the British Empire and its achievements. At this the egregious Miss Shortarse started foaming at the mouth and delivered a vituperative diatribe on the subject of the Empire. It obviously did not cross her mind that she was representing the British state, and to denigrate her country under such circumstances was disloyal as well as being insulting to those who paid her wages.

Clare Short is all too typical of our current ruling class, crude, ignorant and desperate for publicity, like all of her kind there is virtually nothing she will not do for a few minutes on the tele. I vividly remember a few years ago her announcement that she had been re-united with her illegitimate son who she had given away for adoption the she stood, in Victoria Gardens, adjacent to the Houses of Parliament with the hapless young man in tow, beaming at the cameras. In television terms, the Bitch and Her Bastard was not up there in entertainment value with Gone With The Wind, but it did illustrate the lengths she was prepared to go for a few minutes of publicity. We should I suppose be grateful that she did not do an Edwina Curry and destroy the egg industry in her quest for camera time, but then I do not think Miss Short has Edwina’s imagination.
Clare Short’s day has now passed, but unfortunately there are all too many ready willing and able to step into her shoes. O Tempore O Mores.
