Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
As I’m sure will surprise no one gathered round the decanter, Ol’ Robbo is delighted at the drubbing Boris Johnson and the Tories handed Labour and the rest of the Loony Left in yesterday’s UK Parliamentary elections. Ol’ Robbo is strongly pro-Brexit. The older I get, the more I detest the idea of globalism in its various manifestations and the corresponding loss of national, local, and, for that matter, individual sovereignty. Indeed, the EU and other such organizations are nothing more than the Bearded-Spock Universe antithesis of subsidiarity, a principle to which I am deeply attached.
However, Ol’ Robbo is too tired for philosophical analysis of this latest brush war in the eternal struggle between collectivist authoritarianism and individual autonomy. Instead, at the forefront of my braims this evening is a timely Python skit that never seems to get old. Enjoy!

I’m happy with the news as well. I like to watch Have I Got News For You, a British panel show where the news of the week is looked at and talked about for comic effect. Last night’s episode was essentially three panelists going after the fourth, a former Tory MP. Oh the simmering anger and resentment over BoJo’s win. Don’t get me wrong, they also go after the US leadership as well, which makes me laugh. Glass countries and stones and so forth?
Cue the protests by the Left in 3…2…1…
Now if they could only vote out Sadiq Khan. What’s he’s got in London is not diversity.

Oh, the protests have already started. And the Steele Dossier people are claiming the whole thing was another Russian hit-piece and demanding an investigation.
Along with Antifa and the whole Impeachment nonsense this side of the pond, it’s just another example of the Left’s unwillingness to accept democratic processes unless the results are to their liking.

Yep. Why am I always reminded of toddlers?
