What is it about politics that attracts the world’s worst people? I mean, it’s true isn’t it – look at them this week, plotting and preening and self-regarding and mindwanking themselves raw on the power fantasies whilst only-just-metaphorically sh1tting all over us. Thanks, Conservatives! Thanks! Thanks everyone! I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I spend a few days a week working for a firm of political consultants (I won’t mention them as, well, to be honest they probably don’t want the association) and this week even they – many of whom have worked in politics, and all of whom have an interest in the whole filthy mess that can at best be described as…unhealthy – even they have been wondering around with expressions of barely-concealed bafflement on their faces as they try and make sense of exactly why it would seem that the ruling classes appear to have decided that they once again want to play one of their occasional games of ‘let’s fcuk the electorate with knives, just because we can!.
Christ alive, these people.
Anyway, you’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, we’ve all had enough. You are bruised and battered and wounded after a long week – I know, sweetheart, I know – and all you want is to rest your weary limbs. Come, then, take my hand and let me lower you gently into the warm, welcoming liquid bath that is this week’s Curios, like a Radox bath except, well, significantly more clotted. Read, relax, and try and forget – this, as ever, is Web Curios, and Jarvis Cocker really was right.
