Interregnum
The most cunning, the most devious of them all ? This guy wouldn't make it past the first count in a five seater...
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed — they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. - The Third Man.
We have no shortage of chaos in this country but bugger all artistry or culture to show for it [though I‘m sure if the Tribunals keep investigating, they‘ll eventually find a few Swiss bank accounts - they‘ve found accounts from nearly everywhere else]. We’re between governments at the moment , so we don’t know which bunch of election promises will come true [hint: probably none of them].
Weather is crazy this week - frost on Monday and Tuesday and a hard cold rain today. A portent, surely ?
