Gove claims he has no ambitions to be PM because he knows "his limitations"

...tomorrow I will write at length about why this particular Tory cabinet minister-monster makes me screw up my toes inside my shoes. Suffice to say, for now, that I am a highly qualified, moderately experienced, sometime secondary schoolteacher, and even though I am now retired, I still have a few ideas and thoughts about the realities of state school teaching. Which GOVE singularly does NOT! And nor will he listen to anyone who has, it would seem.
But today is Sunday, and the veg should be boiling, not my blood, so I am away to make our lunch.
Do join me in a small libation at noon, while I peel the spuds...mine's a Gin Ricky!
Chee-aaahs!
I cringe to think that he is a graduate of my much-loved Oxford college. It should have stayed single-sex!
ReplyDeleteYes, that was a bad day's work LMH did, giving HIM a degree or even houseroom. He is the very definition of insufferable, to me...or at least his public political persona is, he may have redeeming features in private that are destined never to reach us in the wider electorate.

DeleteBut of course, your DS would have had to have gone to another college as well, had LMH not gone co-ed. Perhaps we should blame the Oxford Union for Gove's ghastliness, and not his college, as he was voted President.
DeleteBut mostly I blame Gove himself, and also look askance at anyone who fawns on him and encourages him so they can ride his coat-tails. He is often described by political punters with a particularly trenchant turn of phrase as the Dail Mail "wet dream," which is fairly horrid expression for an increasingly horrid-in-my-view man.
I've written my second piece about him today, so my chest is as unencumbered as my scalp now! That's me done with politics for a while...
He'd have had plenty to choose from, since in my day, among the undergraduate colleges there were only 5 for women, with the other 23 for men. Who knows which he would have chosen?

ReplyDeleteDunno the bloke, but he's got the eyes of a cold fish. I look forward to reading your 'perspective' tomorrow!
(Shame about that bike... &*>) YAM xx
I am still marshalling my facts as well as focusing on how I have formed the very strong adverse ireaction I have to Gove. I hope to be ready by tomorrow, but if it takes a day or two longer please don't think I have forgotten.
DeleteAs for the motorbike, ah well...can't win 'em all. You know, maybe you need to get the bandana and the Harley one day, Yam; it's your fantasy, after all!

Deleteheh heheh hehe - you're not the first to mention this! Trouble is they are as expensive if not more so than the little 4-wheel runaround. I gal can dream thoug, eh? xx
My thoughts precisely, Yam. We are of one accord.
DeleteI had a short spell as a biker rock chick between husbands, when I was in my early forties. A half-hearted biker rock chick. I dated a couple of bikers, and befriended many others at a biker pub I worked at, but rarely climbed aboard, as the bikers I knew never seemed to have bikes that actually WENT! LOL!
The bikes were either classics in bits or non-goers rusting gently in the British rain, even a Goldwing, I am sad to say. Their owners always had a car of sorts that went, though. Odd that...
Didn't Education Minister Thatcher also declare that she had no ambition...etc....?
ReplyDeleteThatcher declared when asked about her future ambitions when she was Minister for Education that no woman would be PM in her lifetime. Even she at the time did not have the capacity to imagine such a thing coming to pass, as it was unthinkable to most people. She made my flesh crawl whenever she opened her mouth as well. Her style of utterance was worse, more repellent, than even the content was, just as Gove's is now. I do hope that is where the similarities between them will end...! Yikes! If he is ever PM I shall a disused Welsh pit and go and live in the bottom of it!
