And then One comes along.

The power of the written word. Who knew I could have such influence on the leader of the Tory Party?

Then again, she is a serial reverser, so maybe not so surprising.

But, yes, yesterday afternoon, an apology from Theresa May for the less than organised and effective support for those that survived the Grenfell Tower fire.

I assume it will only be a matter of time before further apologies will be forthcoming for putting profit and austerity before the needs of the voiceless.

Or maybe not. Because this is an easy buck to pass. The government should have reacted sooner, but lets allow the local authority to carry the can for a while, at least until memories fade a little.

And remember, the Tories don’t believe in history. What happened yesterday stays there. No referencing please, just move forward. Ignore the bollocks and bullshit that has been spouted, that was then, to gain a few sound bite points. This is today. Forward, ever forward!

However, as the Tories seem to have rediscovered the apology as a concept, I await Boris Johnson’s apology for castigating Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn for not having the right numbers at their fingertips, and then seeming to forget the totality of his vocabulary when quizzed on the Queen’s Speech.

We have a Prime Minister who will not – cannot? – debate, and a Foreign Secretary who blusters inanely as two of the main players in the Brexit negotiations. Warm glow inside anyone?

The good news, though, is that Latin will still retain its place in the forefront of Tory thought and action. Although Boris seems now to have totally lost the ability to speak in coherent sentences in English,  Michael Gove has been installed as the Environment Secretary.

I await his first pronouncements regarding the environment – an area widely known as one close to his heart. Isn’t it? Oh, he has no heart. Okay.

However, I predict that, fairly shortly, and amid all the hubbub over Brexit, Tory Party parliamentary struggles and the like, there will be a quiet announcement that, from January 2018, anyone in the United Kingdom will only be allowed to reference flora and fauna using their full Latin names.

That will give the schools something else to concentrate on, apart from begging parents for cash.

And before anyone accuses me of being negative, they are wrong.

I am being very positive. Very positive that, now we have had the first apology, soooooo many more will follow. You just wait and see.

I am sure there will be another one soon.

Any day now.

Maybe when it gets less humid. Always hard to apologise when you are sweating.

Soon though.

You’ll see.
