Good one Jan. Mark Twain said politicians and diapers should both be changed frequently... and for the same reason.

Good fun politicians are much the same on either side of the pond. Thanks for visiting my scrawl.

Too often there seems to be a double standard, no wonder people are so skeptical of politicians~

Jan , I don’t trust any of them . They have a different face for every situation and always hold the liars card in their back pocket! Very well expressed !! Hugs, Susan :)

Jan, the only "truth" to be told- of politicians, is that they ALL lie, and most of them are crooks. Nuff said... Hugs Charlie xx

Boris is a buffoon and won’t last the winter. Like most political elites he is clueless about the struggles and lives of real people. They live in a bubble.

Most are in the political arena only for the money and prestige not for the people. I am sure that everyone has disobeyed the rules during this time of pandemic so we can't really point anyone out and say we are perfect, and they are not. It made for a good senryu and told the truth. I enjoyed reading it. The homemade imitation of Boris is good. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara

Most politicians are corrupt. We have the king of them. Hugs.

Jan, I gather you don't like the man, we have politicians like that here in Canada, double standards are not right, great writing ~

Now now Jan don't jump the gun, wait for Sue Grays report lol. That man is spineless, having to apologise to the Queen while she was mourning the loss of Prince Phillip, Those that opposed him threatened with money being withdrawn for their constituencies. The worry though is some believe him. Trying to portray himself as the man who got us out of covid grrrrrrrr. Tom

This drama is being played out not just in the U.K. but here, in the U.S.A. Politicians talk with a 'forked tongue". But I will say, your Senyru perfectly expresses the angst. :)Paulette

How anybody can take Boris serious is amazing Jan, he’s a consummate liar like most politicians, fine senryus with real salt of the earth honesty, cheers David

Thanks David, call me cynical but its amazing how the rules are now being relaxed so quickly after he got called out for his actions, I will still wear a mask when I'm out especially in social settings, I can't risk carrying it into mum's care home

They used to be just crooks, Then they were called gangsters, Then they became known as The Mob, Then they were called The Syndicate, Next we called them The Mafia, Now We Call It Politics. Good write Jan. God B less, JB
