Dark Clouds

Another week, another frantic dash to Europe to ask for a further extension on our homework.

This gives the usual suspects, ‘weekend warrior’, ‘haunted pencil’ and ‘small handed, tangerine narcissist’ a chance to rail against Europe keeping us prisoner, when even the most cursory glance at the facts reveals that the door is wide open, but we are sitting whimpering in the corner because we have no idea where to go.

A travel through my entries throughout last year (which critics are already describing as “too political”) will show that I was arguing that the whole thing was going to collapse under the weight of its own stupidity at a time when that was not a widely held view. Now it is actually starting to reach a tipping point where that looks like it might really happen.

God I hope so.
