Success!

Success - the sale has translated and my shooter piece will be off to a new home in darkest Gloucestershire. Another piece might be following the same direction so all is rosy.

I have been up to my eyes with making new pieces so watch this space for more of the fun pieces and also more political satire.

The trouble with satirising events in the UK at the moment is that they are already so absurd that there is really very little point! We have a government who have systematically borrowed too much and taxed too much and spent too much... presided over an asset bubble and deliberatley mis-regulated the banks, introducing a law to ensure government will be sensible about spending! There is no objective measure of what sensible is and even one so small as me might argue that being responsible with our money is what government should do in any event. Passing a law does not make this happen when the government has been incapable of controlling its own stupidity.

Possibly worse than the sheer lunacy of such actions is the insulting assumption that we, the 'ordinary' people are too stupid to realise that they are lying to us and that the architect of this bankrupting of our country resides here - Gordon Brown. Coincidentally this shower of criminals and incompetents abolished the law of treason. It should be reinstated immediately and Brown (for ruining the country as both Chancellor and Prime Minister) and Blair (for lying through his teeth to the nation and taking us into two wars which we did not properly prepare for and which we had no business to be fighting - see Sunday Telegraph today) should be the first cases brought. A short trial and a trip to the Tower would be justice.
