If Nigel Farage ever does become PM then he will be part of 'the establishment', which will mean he'll have to join in a plot against himself.

The trouble with Administration is that so many people outside its sphere fondly and erroneously imagine they know so much more about its apparent simpleness. That it should ever appear to be simple is a great compliment.

I'm now old enough feel nostalgic about my youth, when life was more innocent. Perhaps I'm just seeing the past through rose-tinted glasses, but politicians - even the ones I disliked - seemed motivated to improve society, compared with the cynical shower we have now. What became of Kier Starmer?
