I had hoped never to have to see Dominic Cummings’ ugly mug appearing in the news ever again and especially not before I had my first coffee of the day. But there he is, splashed across the pages and still arguing with BoJo that he didn’t do it. Whatever ‘it’ is and that Boris has fallen below the standard of competence and integrity the country deserves! I tried reading one article but it was too, too much. Two over privileged, over grown school boys each accusing the other of wrong doing. It’s about time both of them were removed from any position of power. The country definitely deserves better.
Over the pond Ghislaine appeared in court to plead ‘not guilty m’lord’ or something similar in American to new charges of sex trafficking. The reports described her as looking frail with her now long, jet black hair tinged with grey. Her partner in crime Epstein committed suicide I wonder if she’ll do the same if found guilty. It’s amazing how many criminals can’t take the punishment.
I’ve never watched Good Morning Britain but somehow I seem to know what’s happening from the headlines. Now, following the tantrum of Piers Morgan who stormed off never to return, Richard Madeley’s name is being bandied about as the new host for the show. I’ve always thought he’s rather sleazy looking with that greasy black hair. Still, the photos showed him flaunting a new look with blond highlights and having had a good trim. I still don’t fancy him but maybe that’s just me, I’ve never tried watching him either.
It’s been reported that shoppers are getting great bargains at Debenhams which is closing down all its stores. Some lucky shoppers got two items worth over £100 for just £4. I popped in the other day to our local branch. Not too much left but I managed to buy an Oasis bucle coat and a dress, same make. All their changing rooms are closed and there are no returns for exchange or refund so you have to be careful. I found a quiet corner and tried my dress on. No mirrors so I took a chance as it cost less that £20. Really rather pleased when I got home. The dusty pink coat is perfect for outdoor eating this spring while it’s still a bit chilly. Ha ha, I love a bargain even if I didn’t need the togs.
Over the last fifteen years I’ve read quite a lot about the subpostmasters who have been wrongly accused of theft and/or fraud. At first it was just a couple but over the years the number rose to hundreds. Many lost their jobs, savings, homes and some were locked up and they all lost respect of friends and neighbours and their own peace of mind. It was eventually found to be a glitch in the computer system. How did anyone believe that suddenly so many people had become thieves? and how did the then Chief Executive of the Post Office get awarded a CBE in 2019 and receive bonuses of more than £2.2 million as part of her £4.5 million earnings? Hey, people, let’s be careful out there.
