And Then, Worth The Wait...

Wot was? Well, so, now the TV news has been forced to start reporting on all those fellows flooding over our way, I thought it only fair to drop in and complement the BBC on the early morning reporting by some chap in a boat monitoring activity.

His boat hauled up close to a boat load of fit young bucks, predominantly scientists and academics  – a perilous manoeuvre looking at the storm ravaged sea state –  and the BBC fellow showed how superb they are at quizzing and searching for the truth and facts relating to wot’s going on and how money just can’t buy excellent reporting of this calibre as he shouted his question to the folk on the boat, “Where are you going?”

How much did that cost? the ‘reporters’ wages, wages for film crew and sound crew, lord knows how many safety courses to satisfy BBC H&S requirements before setting foot on a small boat all just to ask some gimmigrants, tearing towards the white cliffs of Dover where they were going? Really? Ah shacks ma heed.

I also note our Home Secretary’s had a day out on a boat to see what’s going on. Hay girl, hope you don’t mind me pointing this out, but that’s a Priti pointless exercise.

'Gimmegrants'... hahaha! That is a pearler Mac, consider it stolen..

Actually, I just noticed, if you change the pronunciation just a tad, the word also describes the scientists.

Ripper,
Help yourself my friend. I can't remember but I might have stolen it from somewhere myself.
