I just read on the BBC news website that our "esteemed" home secretary has made a speech.
The fact that I am in the 70% of the country who did not vote for them, unfortunately does not matter.
Nothing new about that - the job of home secretary appears to be one of opening their mouths and using the knee jerk reaction to assist in changing feet!
Today Theresa May has made it clear that free movement of people in the EU is not for people to head to the UK to look for work or get health treatment - in other words you can only come to the UK if you are "worthy".
This is, to my thinking, abhorrent - it is the kind of policy that turned away (and continues to turn away) refugees escaping oppressive regimes. How many innocent valuable lives have been shut out of our country in the last 100 years?
Our government and media again seem to have confused legal and free movement from other countries in the EU, innocent people seeking refuge from cruel and oppressive governments and those coming to Europe seeking a better way of life.
The level of immigration is higher than the government would like - hence the Theresa May foot shuffle as she changes which foot is in her mouth.
What is the point of our being in the EU if we decide to pick and choose what we want to be part of - Sometimes I think that Napoleon had us pegged when he said that we were a nation of shopkeepers.
David Cameron (who I still have not forgiven for calling what I do at work "pointy head") who is in charge of what I call the "Taurus excreta" department said that he wanted the UK to be a "buccaneering" trading nation.
Shows what a classical private education at the best schools can accomplish - Buccaneer is another word for pirate or thief. Not really the best description for British industry.
Having said that I guess daylight robbery does more or less count about our banking sector!
I'm off in disgust to listen to Monty Pythons Accountant sea song
It's fun to charter an accountant,
And sail the wide accountan-cy.
To find, explore the funds offshore,
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy.
It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-anually.
It's all tax-deductible,
We're fairly incorruptible.
We're sailing on the wide accountan-cy.
