Female? How to Advance Yourself in Politics.

Venus de Milo with Drawers, 1936, Salvador Dali

I.

She viewed him as quite statuesque

as she lounged on his office desk;

he put his hand on her knee,

but did with such dignity,

she let him handle the rest.

II.

She felt herself quite disarmed

as she fell for the spell of his charms;

his heart seemed as big as his waist,

but much to her distaste

she soon realised him naught but a smarm

III.

He cleared his throat and uttered ahem,

said madam you want to be one of them,

the sure way to get ahead

is to share the warmth of my bed,

that’s the way we do it Lib-Dem.

IV.

Ambitious politicians are conveniently blind

of misconduct towards womankind;

they sing silent applause

when he puts his hand down their draws,

(Well, they’re only girlies – they won’t mind.)

On my break at work (last night) I was puzzling over a response to Tess’s prompt at The Mag while reading the Sunday newspapers – oh how I love Sunday newspapers.  Reading the latest media attempt to besmirch our (pure hearted, innocent, honest as the day they were born, whiter than the driven snow) politicians who gallantly proclaim ‘I have done nothing wrong’ (and I believe them…)… and all fell into place.

For those of you that are unaware of the accusation of sexual harassment, misconduct, abuse within the LibDem Party – half of our coalition government – please read of it here – and to know more of the background click on the links provided there.

When will these attacks on our wonderful governments – past and present – end.  It is so unfair.

It is also so so very unfair that past and present governments are killing our NHS.  You didn’t know?  Yes they are!  (Wonder why the media are keeping us in the dark along with the government?)  To know more please visit Dr Grumble, JD, ISOwatch and Abetternhs's Blog.  Read, learn and for you, your children and grandchildren’s sake – do something, please do something.  For if you don’t,  not so far in the future – your NHS will be of that of the Venus de Milo – something beautiful – but a relic in memory only.

Cheers me dears – depending on your support.
