the brilliantly leaping gazelle

This is only going to be a short post, as I’ve got a rather enjoyable daydream to get back to, but it just occurred to me that Plonker cares more about the death of one elderly foreigner than he does for the majority of the citizens he was elected by. 

Or, being cynical, he is more worried about appearing statesman like on the world stage, than he is being actually statesman like in the UK. Actually, there is one part of his behaviour following the death of this particular foreigner that he shares with other world leaders, so in this one instance, he’s being just as shameless as the rest of them. 

I think that he doesn’t much care one way or the other about this man death, but he is worried looking like he cares, looking suitably affected, issuing social media posts how he feels, about this and about, because its less to do with who’s died than the people who are upset this mans death. That’s who he’s trying to impress, to convey that he too understands their pain.

On the same day as elderly man with an increasingly worsening series of health complications succumbed to them, Plonker took to X to say something. He has since said other things, hoping like all politicians in this age of an endless news cycle, that because he says something, other people won’t start saying things about him.

Contrast this with his absence of anything following the Supreme Court ruling confirming that the term women is applies biological women. There’s been nothing. It’s been nearly a week and nothing.
