Good letter. I know you have a down on Mrs May for blowing off Robert Spencer when she was Home Secretary, & he doesn't seem to have got over it either, but siding with a movement (EDL) that evolved from organised football hooliganism was guaranteed to not win friends in high places. Like Melanie Phillips implies, I worry that the institutional biases in this country have become so one sided that the PM can no longer rely on advice being impartial.
That didn't bother Cameron, cynical smoothie that he was & good riddance, but May isn't like that. I do hope she proves to be up to the job, especially with the Brexit business, but again she isn't showing signs yet of really understanding the back story, without which major blunders will inevitably be made. That's down to the advisors too. The self satisfied, progressive, know what's best for everyone else fuckers who can calculate the number of baked beans necessary to sustain life for someone unfortunately unemployed in Barnsley, but who give themselves a free pass on responsibility for addressing the structural flaws they refuse to recognise because they don't fit. Fuckem again.
The people who think Netanyahu is some sort of troglodyte, & that Israel has no claim to existence would do well to brace themselves. As the middle east falls apart, I expect & hope that will give the opportunity to his successors to claim more of the original mandate.
Apologies if anyone got triggered by the above, but I'm on one of those endorphin highs. I spent 5 hrs earlier doing my tax return & got it in just before the deadline................kick back, pour 4 fingers of whisky & let it roll.
All the best for 2017 to one & all.
