The older I get, the crankier I get and these days I get driven to distraction by politics and politicians of all persuasions. It's just so annoying.
I hanker after the days when our leaders were relatively normal human beings, guys like Jim Callaghan and Jimmy Carter, not the monstrous cartoon characters in power today who pull on our emotions and shake the very foundations of our belief structures.
Anyway, I have developed a novel survival mechanism for this madness; it might just help you too.
Whenever a politician appears on your screen and begins to agitate you, just picture in your mind the huge foot from Monty Python plunging out of the sky and squelching that politician flat.
I find that it really does make modern life a little easier...
Trump? ... SPLAT
Boris?... SPLAT
Farage?... SPLAT
Putin?... SPLAT
Netanyahu?... SPLAT
Junker?... SPLAT
etc., etc...

The hectoring condescending wifies do my head in:-
Lucas
Swinson
Cherry
Soubry, Allen, and all the others who ratted on the parties/voters that got them where they are, now swanning around with their self righteous manner and self awarded halos
Thornberry, Abbot and the other Labour examples of female dumbhoodity Take your pick, so many to choose from
Patel, quite a few other Tory nonentities the sight of whom annoys me but names escape me just now. The one who said she wouldn’t want Boris to run her home. You’d be lucky if anyone would offer dearie, unless he was stone deaf
And our very own bobbing heid chuckle chops FM. The bees knees to some, gets on the wick of everyone else
I do miss Angela Constance though. Thick as two short ones but such a reliable source of merriment.

I find mysogynistic politicians particularly difficult to stomach, although it is heartening to me that my attitude toward those politicians has changed over my adult life from one of anger to one of pity as society's norms on this issue better align themselves with my views.
The dinasaurs will tell you that they're not being misogynistic of course, but don't listen to them; would they make a list of male MPs who irritated them due to their maleness for instance?
