“Fair is foul and foul is fair, hover through the fog and filthy air.”   I do not know why reference to the witches in the Scottish play brings to mind Pee-pee Patel, but there it is.  She is certainly poisonous enough.

Earlier this week Pee-Pee announced a policy (I said she announced it, not that she spelt it, 3 syllables is a lot to ask).  She was going to charge NHS staff from overseas for accessing the service themselves – not even accessing actually, simply for being here with the right to use it, whether they did so or not.    And when questioned, the Flatulent Leader – who claimed to have “thought long and hard” – that’s a novelty – over the issue, decided she was quite right.  We’re through the worst, let the buggers pay.

Yesterday, in Prime Minister’s questions Neddy Star-Goon* raised the issue again, and again Johnson offered his support to the Home Secretary.  Today he backed down.  3 cheers for Neddy.

* when  the BBC received the first scripts for The Goon Show, they not only turned it down, but thought it was in fact called “the Go On Show.” That shows you something.

** much as I like and admire Keir Starmer, I find reference to his mother’s donkey sanctuary utterly irresistible.
