You have to love Harry Potter. The books, and subsequently the films, filled many a happy hour – mainly on holiday or at Christmas for the films – of shared bedtime reading.
A whole world was created, populated be every imaginable type of magical creature and practitioner, with good and evil, right and wrong, all struggling for supremacy in the safe confines of the printed word.
But who knew? Magic is real. And it comes in the form of the newest of spells – Totalis Ignoramus.
It began as one of those handy little catch phrases created by the Tory Party election team to dismiss an alternative solution, without having to really explain anything.
But now, the Tories have discovered the magic money tree.
Firstly, it began to bear fruit just in time to bribe – pay off – purchase – the 10 DUP votes to give them the slenderest of majorities to maintain their targeting of the poor and placating the well off.
Now it seems to be abundant with fruit, just ready to be plucked by the Tories once they convince themselves that the public sector pay cap needs to go.
What will follow from here is anyone’s guess, but with the excessive use of the reverse gear to date, just about anything is possible.
And the fascinating aspect of all this – the Tories seem to think that we will not notice, or believe their reasons – if they ever provide any.
I suppose, if they look at the US, and the fact that Trump’s supporters are still totally behind him, even though he has dope nothing for them, except potentially makes their lives worse.
I keep checking on Google Maps for the site of the magic money tree, but so far no luck. Shame really, I could do with a splash of magic, just to take the sour anger away.
Any hints Harry?
