Folks are still flailing around trying to understand – and explain – what happened in the Sept 1 elections…and your Eyewitness expects this to go on for a while. After all, there ain’t a single explanation for any one thing happening, is there?? In this, the “one thing” being the trouncing of the PNC – and your Eyewitness is being kind here!! – by Sanction Man’s WIN party. Just losing would’ve been bad enough – but losing to a fella with very serious US OFAC sanctions for smuggling gold and a Lambo hanging over his head – who then launches a party a mere three months before the elections to clobber the PNC?? Ahhh…the shame…the shame!!
How the heck did Sanction Man – who can barely string together two coherent sentences and hides behind his sisters’ skirts via Facebook posts – get all these people from the traditional PNC to follow him?? Well being a graduate of British colonial indoctrination, your Eyewitness remembers the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Don’t you, dear Reader?? It’s about that fella – wearing eye-catching bright, gaudy clothing – who suddenly appears in the latter town that was being plagued by rats!! He tells the good citizens he can get rid of their pestilential plague – for a fee, of course. He duly plays his pipe and leads all the rats out of the town!!
Isn’t this what happened to the good folks in the PNC who were plagued – according to their bright boy WPA ally led by Black Pudding Man – by the PPP, whose plan was to keep them living like rats!! Their leader Norton wasn’t taking on the PPP as he’d promised and they were so fed up that when Sanction Man suddenly showed up with his designer glasses, off-the-rack designer garb and most importantly doling out oodles of money, they didn’t need no fancy talk. Calling themselves know-nothing “Scrapeheads”, they turned the story on its head and became the rats who followed the Pied Piper!! They even overlooked the irony of a fella who’d corrupted the system by bribing officials – criticising PPP’s corruption!! Pot calling cahari black!!
For good measure, Sanction Man was willing to cuss down the PPP – which sealed the deal when he launched a political party three months before the elections!! Goodbye Norton, hello Sanction Man!! But the rats…er…folks who followed the Pied Piper should remember that he returned to demand payment and when the townsfolks balked, he led away their children – read their future!! And that’s what Sanction Man’s doing right now innit?
Frittering away any chance of helping Scrapeheads with his unrealistic greedy demands to control everything to destroy the PNC and PPP!!
…in Parliament
It’d be funny if it weren’t so pitiful. Here we have a bunch of geriatric WPA Pied Pipers playing tunes from the seventies to the PNC– landing them on the road to extinction. Seems they forget that as time marches on, the tune that captures the inner Geist of the people also changes. So these out of tune, wanna-be Scrape-catchers turned up at various villages in our fair land to lure the residents into following them on some Quixotic – and dangerous – path. Failing to gain traction they were adopted by Norton into the PNC!!
Norton sent their failed “presidential candidate”, Black Pudding Man to Parliament where he’s gonna soon not only be eligible for TWO duty-free cars – but free food during Parliamentary sittings!! Your Eyewitness hopes the Speaker ensures Black Pudding is sourced from Buxton and not Lusignan!!
Your Eyewitness has his popcorn ready for the debates between Black Pudding Man and Sanction Man!! He hopes PNC parliamentary leader, Chicken Man, will allow Black Pudding man to expose his irrelevance!!
…on development
While the new struggle for global hegemony’s playing out between the US and China, after the two wear each other out on the ropes – it’s be a new multipolar world.
We’re gonna have more competition vying for our oil fund driven development!!
