Snipets

Apologies to those who have requested "wisdom" on the 

            French Second Round

            Labor's slaughter in the Municipal Elections

     and the rePublicans self immolation on health care.

 The King has been visiting his birth land,the Ducheses and those whence he came.

Unfortunately on his arrival Cyclops was afflicted with the dreaded Lergi  and was out of action for a few days.

So just some snippets

National Health Service

I'll save the NHS shaggy dog story.Suffice to say:

• Admin/organisation for minor ailments awful bordering on perverse
• Treatment excellent
• Cost ridiculous--no fee for doctor,treatment or meds !--I am a foreign non tax paying visitor.
• I was only asked my name and age.No address,nationality, insurance record or means test.
• Walk in to clinic and get treated - -for free because of age !

Football

• Spurs lose to Chelsea in FA Cup semi final on April 22nd
• Arsenal beat Man.City in FA Cup semi final on April 23rd
• Spurs beat Crystal Palace on 26th April
• Spurs beat Arsenal on  Sunday 30th April
• Spurs lose to West Ham on May  5th & will not catch Chelsea now.

That's us done for the season .
Chelsea for the double.
Or arsenal win the cup and us nothing--again.

 French Elections

On arrival one Duchess  upbraids me for my over the top jubilation that Macron wins first round and 75% of French do not vote for Le Pen.
She points out that 75% still voted for Le Pen,Opus Dei or a nihilist grandstanding Trot.
She is not impressed by a Blair-very lite-Macron.Anything but Le Pen is fine as far sit goes but it hardly bodes well for the future of France,Europe or the UK.

I had to concede that her judgment was more balanced and serious than my premature jubilation.
On to the second round tomorrow--- Le Pen  a Bas !


The Counselors of Cowper Street

These great elderly seers from the Bethnal's Green,Shore's Ditch and the Parish of Spitalfields have been advisers to the crown lo these 60 years.They are responsible for most of Cyclops errors and failings; while as with the Donald the King alone has earned his triumphs and conquests.

They --Alan the Baker;Harry of the Hills and old testament Simeon were in attendance,while Paul the Miller "Laboured" mightily for the party of the North and Kaye man Tony the same in the South. David everybody  remains down under-- gave me great counsel on events in the old country.
{alright I know this blather is meaningless and of no interest to those who did not go to an East End grammar school in the 1960s--its ,just a little self indulgence}

Anyway,all lifelong Labour supporters, they see no hope.Recognizing that we are all closer to the end than the beginning they had hoped to bequeath something better to future generations than Trumpf,May,Merkel,Mammon and Mediocrity.They beseeched[poet's license]Cyclops to return from Great Falls beaucoup Eglises to save THE PARTY ,the Nation and Humanity;but alas the King is too old and Corbyn et al have destroyed too much muscle,sinew and bone--Milliband and his "reforms"proved as daftly intellectual as his dad.

To Better Days

Between the Lurgi,Tottenham,Labour,May,the Middle East and Trumpf Cyclops has had
better months.

Never mind heading for Chichester--Roman capital of the English Mycenae-to discuss a memorial to the Jewish deserters from General Ander's Polish army during WWII.Genuinely upbeat heroic story--for another time--and back to London to see Arsenal lose to Manchester United.

Will smell the roses before I return to the Palace across the Pond on Wednesday.
Just in time for the next round of Trumpf Dystopia-the series.



                                C'est la Guerre .Vive la France  Demain.
