EX BORIS

 yo!.. load of old Boris innit!

here in palookaville..

the sheets have hit the fan..

boris scofield has walked out of parliament..

boris johnson has walked out on the dogs breakfast..

boris trump has walked out on democracy..

TIE ME KANGAROO COURT SPORT

tired of accusations of lack of new material..

they have decided to jump ship..

the public are devastated..

shocked and awed..

but mostly confused..

PEAK BORIS

is now a long time ago..

and holly wood..

and all the gang..

are crying shame..

AFTER THIS EPISODE OF SOAP

you will be confused..

and confounded..

but mostly bored..

the lines between entertainment..

and politics..

have blurred and morphed..

some say it is the new androids..

who will not stop chatting..

and making things up..

out of old cliches..

and blonde wigs..

WIGS ON THE GREEN

that's what we have..

here in palookaville..

home of the happy viewers..

THESE BORIS ARE MADE FOR WALKING

when the going gets tough..

the tough get going..

GOING GOING BUT NOT YET GONE

we must hope to lock the door..

and keep them out..

for they never mean to leave for good..

unless we hold them to account..

keep them at bay..

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT

BOTCH OF THE DAY

 yo!.. game over.. innit!

here in palookaville today..

 the government has scored..

a gigantic and very memorable..

OWN GOAL

everyone here knew that the top faces inna party..

wanted ta..

survive the coming electoral disaster..

by copying hancock an getting on telly..

wi a show o they own..

THE PARTY PARTY

has descended into..

celebrity envy..

it could look like they are trying  to take over match of the day..

and trying to get the bbc..

ta kick off the footballers..

an take the top spots fo they selves..

I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF POLITICS

 could it all started when tony..

went on tv..

as a reward for his stella service..

as the hero of the pandemic..

NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE EXCESS

so now they think they own the sport..

and by kicking out the top presenters..

and taking they jobs..

they can make even more money..

by making us all laugh out load..

OWN GOAL OF THE CENTURY

but now the fat is in the fire..

an the voters are having to chose..

between the spectacularly popular salt and vinegar..

and the spectacularly inept party people..

IT'S A DIFFICULT CHOICE BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO MAKE IT

boat loads of people are trying to land here..

an nobody is sure how they will vote..

the royal navy are keeping out of the way..

and the boat owners are getting even richer..

things are not going according to plan..

some might say that they is no plan..

but trying to take over football from the top..

has brought relegation even more certain..

OUT OF THEIR DEPTH

IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN MAKING

this could run and run..

they thought it would all be over..

it is now..

HANCOCK'S HALF HOUR

THE CELEBRITY PARTY

yo!.. get them outta there.. innit!

here in palookaville..

the famous boring party..

has at last found a way..

to be relevant..

AND POPULAR

the hero of the plague..

has found a job..

as as a tv celeb..

at first..

 the sad people..

took agin him..

and sent him packing..

U TURN IF YOU WANT TO

but now as we all knew would happen..

he is become interesting..

as in interesting times..

through him the party has discovered..

the way ahead..

THE DAVY CROCKET HAT

or ..

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A QUIFF GET A HAT

learning from boris trump..

and davy crocket of course..

the party has decided that celebrity..

is the only way to win..

and that..

by looking daft and playing the fool..

popularity..

and therefore success..

will be assured..

WHO HAS THE BLONDEST QUIFF ?

that is the question..

because..

the bigger, the blonder..

the louder and dafter..

gets you the votes..

as well as the laughter..

HERE COMES THE NIGHT

what if the night..

 

looks back in anger.. some paintings are darker.. 

 

that's just the way of it.. 

 

nobody plans to create the dark..

 

it's just sometimes..

 

the walk is on the wild side.. 

we should always look away from the abyss..

follow the sun..

 

anyway..

 

I hope you like this..

 

let's hope it gets people's attention..

 

there is much here to look at..

 

and think about..

Palookaville

yo! innit...

These days...

 here in palookaville...

nobody reads the msm...

not the papers..

not their blogs..

not their tweets..

not their tv news..

here in palookaville we don't vote anymore...

I WONDER WHY THIS IS

 maybe it's because we do not believe in them anymore...

we don't believe a word they say

perhaps it's because of the war..

or the wars..

the refugees..

the low wages..

the health care disaster..

maybe the fixing of interest rates..

propping up asset values..

bailing out the banks..

taxing only the little people...

maybe it's because of the power of the multinationals..

the now huge number of international companies..

too big to pay taxes..

IT'S ALL TOO BIG TO FIX

they say they are all too big to fail..

but really it's all too big to fix..

oh! they've fixed all of the above alright..

but we cannot undo all of the things they have fixed for themselves...

because they own the politics...

the media..

the internet...

they own the machine

HERE IN THE WILDERNESS

so here we sit...

like burks inna wilderness...

-------------

I do read mish though...

"Look at the result: Too big to fail is even bigger, toggle bonds and corporate borrowing are running rampant, no imbalances were fixed, QE is insane by any rational measure, and the Fed did nothing to rein in moral hazard risk taking.
The entire world would be much better off had not only Lehman gone under, but the entire banking system gone under.
Instead, bank are bigger than ever, corporate leverage is higher than ever, debt levels are higher than ever, and the global economy is setup for an even bigger collapse."

And this...from naked capitalism (Nomi Prins)

"In this election, Hillary has crafted her talking points regarding the causes of the last financial crisis as weapons against Trump, but they hardly begin to tell the real story of what happened to the American economy. The meltdown of 2007-2008 was not mainly due to “tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy” or a “failure to invest in the middle class,” two subjects she has repeatedly highlighted to slam the Republicans and their candidate. It was a byproduct of the destruction of the regulations that opened the way for a too-big-to-fail framework to thrive. Under the presidency of Bill Clinton, Glass-Steagall, the Depression-era act that once separated people’s bank deposits and loans from any kind of risky bets or other similar actions in which banks might engage, was repealed under the Financial Modernization Act of 1999. In addition, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act was passed, which allowed Wall Street to concoct devastating unregulated side bets on what became the subprime crisis.
Given that the people involved with those choices are still around and some are still advising (or in the case of one former president living with) Hillary Clinton, it’s reasonable to imagine that, in January 2017, she’ll launch the third term of Bill Clinton when it comes to financial policy, banks, and the economy. Only now, the stakes are even higher, the banks larger, and their impunity still remarkably unchallenged."
