Batty For Britain

Bemused Ruskie can't believe his ears, and neither can I

I happened to be passing a TV the other day when I saw some crazy old bag  saying that Marx would be really upset if he could see what the Russians were doing in Syria.

I only half took it in as I was passing and my only thought was 'What a freak. I wonder who she is?'

Now as it happens I have few illusions about Britain's ruling elite, but even so I was stunned to find out later that the woman I saw was none other than our ambassador to the UN speaking at the Security Council.  

My dismay was two-fold.

Aesthetics

The UN is the world stage and Britain's representative, Karen Pierce, looks like an obese bag lady just back from a monster bender that somehow involved getting dragged backwards through several thorny hedgerows. Sure the Security Council is no beauty pageant, but is it supposed to look like a scene from Macbeth?

'Bubble, bubble toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.'

Okay. Scratch that. Maybe there is a passing resemblance.

Then again. Maybe this is Britain playing 4D chess on the world stage. After all having a cave dwelling troll as your representative could actually work to your advantage. Unsettle those of our enemies with more delicate sensibilities and as for the others send out the message:

'We mean business. Our representative isn't some empty-headed Barbie doll, but a serious thinker with a razor sharp tongue. In short, she's here because of what's between her ears.'

But that brings me to my second and far more serious objection to our UN ambassador.

Politics 

Here's what Karen Pierce actually said to the Russian representative on the Security Council:

'In respect of Karl Marx, I think he must be turning in his grave to see what the country that was founded on many of his precepts is doing in the name of supporting Syria by condoning the use of CW on Syrian territory.' 

This would be a bizarre thing to hear in a fourth rate university debating society.  Let's put aside for a second that Britain's UN Ambassador seems to think that Russia and the Soviet Union are the same thing. 

Much more serious is her opinion that Russia following the 'precepts' of Karl Marx again would be a good thing. Aren't the 100 million deaths directly attributable to Karl Marx's 'precepts' enough for Karen? Maybe she thinks that his 'precepts' haven't been implemently correctly yet.

So it seems that Britain's Conservative government appointed a far-left troglodyte to represent us at the UN... 

I dunno. Maybe Britain's Conservative government isn't actually conservative at all.
