I am hiding in my office all day avoiding all the talk about the General Election. Put simply, my view is this: tomorrow it will all be over and there’ll be naff all anyone can do about the result. Promises will be broken, cuts will be made, the electorate will be disappointed, and this merry circle of political life will continue as it ever has. That’s how our ‘democratic system’ works. You put your little ‘x’ in your chosen little box, then you walk away for five years and get ignored. Put as many pithy comments on facebook as you like; it won’t make any difference. So why should I waste a couple of nice June days observing, speculating, commenting, arguing and hoping when, by Saturday morning, nothing that’s been said or done will mean anything?
I’d rather spend my time writing Point of Sale reports and searching for cheap holidays online.
Two weeks in Mexico for £800, leaving Friday? Tempting….. very tempting.
