A political Haibun

 A Political Saga it is. 

 

By Robert Kingston

 

This morning I woke with a headache. No not the sort where your head bangs from having overindulged. No, this sort is the type that festers at the back of the mind until the trigger is pulled. That trigger this time came in the form of my yearly dose of Scrooge. Not though the Charles Dickens version, but a version established by watching from beginning to the end “The Medici” series. A Netflix offering; Set in, circa 1400’s. This coupled with a recent press release mentioning that a large portion of the current UK government, including the PM, have their foundations established in the classics.

 

 It is said that very little is invented.

  1. Yes, most governments, especially this one, move very far from their nannies and try something new. Then many people live in the past, always sticking the plaster on instead of looking for an alternative; very thought provoking
