This has been the craziest week in U.K. politics since we cut off the head of King Charles 1st. Highlights included the sacking of top cabinet leaders, a lettuce becoming a joke measure of political survival time, the resignation of our Prime Minister, and Larry the Downing Street Cat seeing off a marauding fox.
Of, yes and now a speed-dating version of Eenie, Meenie, Mindy, Moe, by the Conservative party to select a new Prime Minister in the time it takes for an iceberg lettuce to wilt.
Crazy enough? Enough, you cry. But there is more. As I write, I see today’s headlines. They include the name of Boris Johnson among the front runners for becoming our next PM. Boris, the recently departed and discredited former PM but one.
Fortunately, I have found an explanation hidden away in the wonderful children’s book Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
