Partly Facetious : The England of yesteryears

"Sometimes I wonder whether the England of today is the same as the England of yesteryear."
Published September 6, 2019

"Sometimes I wonder whether the England of today is the same as the England of yesteryear."
"It's not likely to be, nations evolve as people change and during the last 20 years the major change has been in the growth of social media, how many would have thought it possible 20 years ago that anyone could have a say through social media..."
"Members of the Sharif family and Dar were captured by the social media in an unfavourable light to put it mildly."
"Not The Khan though."
"No, not yet, but given the number of u turns does he need any embarrassing..."
"The U-turns were all designed to achieve the objective of Medina ki riyasat..."
"Which is?"
"Wait for the first batch of PhDs to come out of the University whose feetah (inaugurating ribbon) The Khan cut, and unlike the Sharifs who cut feetahs with a pair of scissors, how effeminate, The Khan rips..."
"Oh shush, don't be facetious; anyway as I was saying nations evolve and politicians reflect the new realities and I don't mean criticism by the social media that may or may not be engineered by members of the opposition, they also have to grapple with socio-economic realities for example in England austerity has meant a cut in the police personnel which has led to higher crime..."
"But the Trumpian policy of denigrating one's opposition, be it outside or within one's party, and heaping insults on members of the opposition however guilty they may be of the insults did not work for Boris Johnson."
"No, he lost the vote on bypassing parliament to make no deal Brexit by 31 October and he lost the vote for holding general elections on 15 October."
"The Khan needs to accept two facts: that the UK of today is not the same as the UK of 20 to 30 years ago when he was resident there; and second the Trumpian ideology of attack and more attack is beginning to not pay dividends for those practicing it."
"Attacks is the best defence."
"Not always in politics; I would urge The Khan to ensure that the new University he inaugurated also gives a Phd on voter fatigue."
"What about voter anger due to inflation and keeping The Buzz...."
"Hey, The Buzz is getting some traction as a Chief Minister, Salahuddin's father, the guy who was mentally unstable and was killed by the police, he has asked The Buzz to personally take charge of the investigation..."
"And then he also asked for an inquiry team to be led by a member of the judiciary..."
"That's the reverse of double jeopardy, a common demand by victims' families..."
"Ah I pray that the Khan does a U-turn on the U-turn on reforming the Punjab police."
"If wishes were horses pigs would fly."
"Not in this land of the pure, how about The ...... would fly."
