Splenetics

Contains spleen venting , sweary snark directed at the bugsplatter masquerading as our politicians.

The feckless goobers, gobshites, grifters and jesus shoppers swaddled in cant and humbuggery as they jostle at the trough should be recognised for their unswerving dedication to ruining our planet in service to their own greasy-palmed wealth interests and those of their rapacious corporate masters.

To offset the bile and in recognition of life’s positives I like to riff on music, motorbikes, travel and the upsides of being a geezer.

Please note: I am aware I almost always abuse alliteration. And adjectives. Split infinitives their uses have.
