NOTES FROM AN INCREASINGLY SMALL ISLAND : The EU knows it’s in the wrong in it’s fractious disputes with the fully independent, sovereign trading nation of the North Sea. But in case they forget Boris Johnson has appointed a total plank to remind them.
For years David Frost’s middling career seemed determined to stay very much mediocre in spite of his own recognition of his talents, even if the world disagreed.
“But then came Brexit. Then came Boris. Then came opportunity,” Doctor Fillboots Fugger of the Institute for Idiots comments. “If you’re prepared to believe in Brexit you can rise all the way up the greasy pole in Brexitannia. No matter how silly you are. No matter how insane your mission. A complete denial of reality is all that is needed to succeed.”
And succeed is what Lord Frost is doing, so far as swanning about consuming oxygen and covering himself in baubles.
“I note he has a new mission now. One that only a complete pot plant would take. It’s to explain to the EU that they are to fault for all that is wrong with Brexit. Pick a fight Frosty. Stop the inconvenient details of how much damage you and Boris Johnson have done. Go blame the EU for reality. If it wasn’t for reality Brexit would be a boom enterprise and the EU would be begging.”
The blame being laid on reality and the EU’s insistence on it will come as a surprise to many though.
“It will. Most think that everything is Megan Markle’s fault. But leave some blame for the EU. If it wasn’t for them Suez would have been a triumph.”
Which is what Frosty will be explaining to Brussels next week. Stay tuned for the adventures of Lord Frost. No one else could do what he’s doing, because no one else is craven and insecure enough to want to.
