“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
A huge congratulations goes to the PM, the unelected British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who has just completed Stage 1, a test to prove his loyalty to his paymasters, and he has passed with flying colors. His ascent rivals the deceptive prowess exhibited by former Prime Minister Tony Blair. In contrast, it’s worth noting that David Cameron only just passed, having covertly sent British pilots into Syria, flouting international law.
However, Sunak’s potential for orchestrating chaos and manipulation surpasses his predecessors, and the next act in this political drama approaches rapidly. And then there is the impending arrival of the infamous and politically inept Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, a useless idiot on the political stage, who is knocking on the door of Number 10. As we bid farewell to the loyal, albeit ground-bound, marionette, Biden, who has been pulling the strings in the White House.
Number 10, the grandest stage of the political theater, is the Everest of public manipulation. Most are oblivious to the spectacle before their eyes, unknowingly swept up in the drama. Yet, the show must go on, for the web of deceit and intrigue weaves itself deeper, and the audience remains unwittingly captive.
