Spineless politicians

Mar 10 2025

Just the other day, I was thinking about what the Russian government, the current US administration, and a few others are doing, and I realised that I have made a profound mistake.

I do have to apologise to anyone who has spent their valuable time reading this blog. My most sincere apologies to you all, sorry, totally my bad.

The thing is, I knew that to be a certain type of politician you could not really have a strong moral spine, you had to have a high level of what is called, ethical flexibility.

But what I had not realised was, that, actually, the requirement for this kind of politician is to have no moral spine at all, that is to say, you need to have a 360 degree moral compass, with a freely adjustable needle.

In fact, though this breed of politicians are carbon based lifeforms like the rest of us, and though they deceptively look like the rest of us, they are fundamentally very different, they belong to the Invertebrate group of beings on this planet.

Now that I have finally understood this basic fact, I have come to the conclusion that I have been both totally inadequately cynical and inadequately sarcastic in my posts in the past. But, I promise you, I will do my best to remedy the situation, and will try to be more accurate and unbiased in my posts in the future.

Then again, with a few posts, I think I have had some success in the past as well. For example, I don’t think the Russians, the present government that is, have a very positive opinion of my blog, and with the new administration in the US, I don’t think they do either.

But like George Orwell said:

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
