The Queen at Balmoral receives two politicians

 Really cannot help myself today but write something because there are several things that I find irksome.


I have just logged on in Valencia where later this evening we will see Texas. As I logged on a tweet came up purporting to be Gary Neville stating the obvious about the Tory Party leadership election. It may have been a bore but it was only the Tory Party members who were eligible to vote. Why? Because they - the Tories - won the last election by a large number of constituencies. So, get over it, if you lost.


And then last night pathetic voices outside Parliament chanting ‘Tories Out’. Pathetic as a general Election will be required to change that.. 


Now, this morning, Her Majesty The Queen, is on her estate at Balmoral and is staying there for a while. She will be there to receive the resignation of our outgoing Prime Minister, Boris Johnston and then to allow Liz Truss to form her own government. And she will do that as we do need a government to govern.


What I find unacceptable is that the outgoing PM and the incoming PM both flew on different planes from RAF Northolt to Scotland. In the first place why two separate flights and why the need to travel there anyway other than through the ether?


It is a nonsense when there is technology available - and you can choose which one. Many of us do so often. 


Bearing in mind heatwaves, water shortages, an energy crisis and a war why not set the correct example and use the technology available? I suppose protocol gets in the way and why not go and see Her Majesty?


It’s the example that is important. ‘Top Down’ should set the tone but it appears that many prefer ‘Bottom Up’ and that is why we see so many demonstrations. I believe in order and a legal way of effecting change and that is why we need a good strong government with a robust opposition. When will we see both?
