I was listening to Radio 4 News this morning, and heard an interview with Lucy Rigby MP who is Chief Secretary to the Treasury and, apparently, Rachel from Accounts’ deputy. She had been put on the ministerial merry-go-round to provide information on Rachel’s upcoming half baked announcement on measures to reduce the Public’s burden through the Cost of Living crisis.
These measures include temporary removal of import tariffs on foodstuffs, such as Baked Beans, Biscuits and Chocolate – all things that, according to government advisors, are bad for us, but that any unsolicited do-gooder will tell you are over-consumed by the hoi-polloi most affected by said crisis.
Like all trilogy franchises, the first one was quite successful but the follow-up was hopeless; meaning the third has come-along quite quickly. So welcome to Lockdown 3 – Attack of the Mutants!
Adversity always brings out the best in people, and I am lucky in having a lot of friends with a good sense of humour. After we went into the first lockdown in March, I shared some of that humour with you – some light, some a bit dark, and some just plain daft. But it all brightened the long days in isolation.
