This is interesting. I’ve often noticed, and maybe occasionally pointed out, that Ukanians as a nation pride themselves on being ironists, especially in comparison to their gullible clueless cousins on the other side of the Atlantic. But are they ironists really? No sacred cows at all? Taking the piss about absolutely everything?
I ask that question occasionally. I did yesterday, and got a reply that I think is quite funny.
Wouldn’t it be simpler to just…not have them?
By way of illustration, consider Trump. We rip the piss out of him as fast as we can shout or scream or type – but oddly enough he’s still there. He’s still destroying everything he can reach. Taking the piss is all very well but if it doesn’t make anything happen…well there you are, stuck with the bad institution that costs a ton of money and does a lot of bad things.
