I found this spoof advert for the job of Prime Minister on the Larry and Paul channel on YouTube. It purports to be from the UK ‘Govurnmunt’, complete with images of the Jobcentre and official UK government logos. It gives the details of how well the prime ministers are paid, their severance pay and pensions. It also reassures applicants that they don’t have to worry about having no previous experience or a high IQ. This is backed up with images of Suella Braverman and Liz Truss. Nor do you have to worry about having left before in disgrace, which is accompanied with images of BoJob, Dodgy Dave and Tweezer. On the other hand, you have to be good at maintaining important relationships. This has images of Rupert Murdoch, amongst others. And if you’re not ready for the change just yet, there’ll be another recruitment opportunity in about six weeks. Probably. It ends with the announcement that the job is open to any sociopath who went to Eton.
And so, the office of prime minister becomes a farcical joke. Though the mock ad’s funny and is the type of satire we should be getting from mainstream media. but probably won’t. ‘Cause if you laugh at the Tories on television, you’ll lose your license fee and end up with Nadine Dorries demanding your privatisation.

Slightly off topic, but the Bell Curve stuff that our favourite right-wing historian believes in is easily disproved by the fact that Kemi is far more intelligent than many of her White counterparts (Liz Truss, Hancock, Williamson). I think she’s also more sincere than any of the aforementioned. And no, I voted Labour in ’19!

You’re absolutely right about Badenoch. I think she’s far brighter than the other three, though in the case of Truss that’s not hard.
