Sigh. Apple TV.

1. I simply don't understand how that piece of work Streeting is still in post!

He clearly supports child abuse!

Betrayal runs though and under Wes Streeting like mined-out and abandoned coal workings, rotting and slowly collapsing unseen; and I judge his character as 'The sort who takes secret pleasure in cruelty'.

Such people exist.

They are a fact of life; and they have no more morals than a gastrointestinal parasite.

It is therefore pointless to criticise them for 'failings' and 'failures' that they regard as successes and a secret pleasure.

Or, increasingly, a public one.

Better targets can be found among the amoral mediocrities who make it politically-advantageous to foul the public space with lies and hate speech, as if it is the height of political sophication to walk around with the egg-laying segment of a tapeworm on display.
