Riots on the streets, strikes, demonstrations, public sector
workers being forced to take a pay cut, pensioners having their winter fuel
allowance reduced, arts bodies and charities going out of existence due to
funding cuts, rural transport all but disappearing... And all down to the much trumpeted
need to reduce the budget deficit. We are, as Cameron infamously said, ‘all in
this together.’
So now a Cabinet Minister says that the taxpayer should foot
the bill to provide the Queen with a new Royal Yacht to mark her diamond
jubilee. I expect there will be questions in the House. I can see the prospect
of one senior Tory MP imploding. (That, at least, would be good news.) And I do
hope the dear old Queen will have the good judgement to decline the gift and help
Mr Gove disappear up his own rectum. Maybe he will find there the world in
which he truly belongs.
