Now is not the time to lose faith in the good chap model of government

Now is not the time to lose faith in the good chap model of government

Only the Woke believe it is time to reinforce the governance of our governors with some semblance of teeth baring legislatively backed oversight. Only the Woke have the feeling that something isn’t right. This is the politics of envy, on their part. Depressingly predictable.

Sensible Members of Parliament, such as our current robust Prime Minister, know that minor matters like billions of pounds of fraud lost in the pandemic can not be allowed to stand in the way of Building Back Blighty Better. That the baying Antifa mob forced Mr Sunak to waste taxypayers’ money and set up a squad to chase pandemic bounce back loan scheme fraud is symbolic of the malaise afflicting our world beating country.

This brings us neatly to another good chap in our government. And no, it is now the former (and future) Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Although he is worthy of mention for his unceasing efforts to boost the tourist economies of distant Caribbean island states. It is proof of the parlour state the Official Opposition has driven this country into that spare change like this can’t just be written off. I suggest it could be deducted from the Overseas Aid Budget.

Instead we refer to The Honourable Member for West Suffolk.

It is a testament to his dent-proof dedication to public service that the former Health Secretary has embarked on diplomatic outreach in the former colony of Australia. Arguably, by dint of having King Charles III as their head of state, they are still a colony, and rightfully proud of them we are.

Clearly Mr Sunak is too busy with the tedious non-event of COP27 to visit Downunder. Matt has taken it on his shoulders to do this, under the cover of light entertainment. Here we pause to thank the Australian TV company responsible for providing the cover story. How could former Ministers of the Crown, who resigned over an inflated story involving adultery in their office, serve the public if it wasn’t for bush tucker trials involving the cooked genitals of wild animals? He’d have to stay in his constituency and hold surgeries, and we all know he’d achieve nothing there. This is the fault of the last Labour government. Clearly.

This all proves that in spite of what the yoghurt knitters claim, good chaps are still in government and serving the aims they always determined to.

Where would we be if MPs had to resign for using their initiative, and boosting the aviation sector while they’re at it? Who can forget Ms Patel’s Israeli efforts? She had to wait far too long to become Home Secretary because of mock outrage following an innocent family holiday. The subversives on the public payroll would have her thrown out of parliament.

Well. Where would we be if pre-2010 standards were to return to public life? The question answers itself.
