At least now I know that such a thing as Howardsâ Way existed and my day was not completely wasted.
In my professional opinion as someone who has seen several minutes of it, I find that theory somewhat plausible.
In a bitter twist of irony, heâs gonna need his own 24 hour rolling channel.

Oh, come now Mr Wham. Theresa is going to make, for us, a âBetter Britainâ.
Learn more about her here, in this independently compiled, balanced article:
And let us monitor this lovely nugget for actual performance:

May, now: âthere should be no general election until 2020â
May in 2007, when Brown became Prime Minister without facing a general election:
"Whenever Gordon Brown chooses to call a general election, we will be ready for him. "He has no democratic mandate. He has a reputation tainted by his failures after a decade in office. And he has no new ideas. âAn early election? Bring it on.â

I think this was an understandable and reasonable thing for him to do once his successor was clear, and I think May is probably an improvement. For sure sheâs smarter than Cameron.
However, despite Mayâs pronouncement, if ever there was a good reason to have a new general election, this is it.
That showâs run coincided with my first stint in England, and I found it so utterly relaxing that I ended up watching it religiously for therapeutic reasons.

Cameronâs Lament could take its place alongside Women of the glen - the warning pibroch said to have been played by a piper before the Glencoe massacre, hoping to warn the MacDonalds that the approaching Campbells meant them harm. The MacDonslds were obviously not up on their pibrochs.
The most appropriate pibroch for the Leave contingent might be The Blind Piperâs ObstinacyâŚ
Hah, Gideonâs fucked off too.
I thought he was meant to be moving to the foreign office? I guess May didnât offer it to him.
Oh sweet Jesus no.
Boris Johnson has been made foreign secretary, the BBC reports.

I see May made Hammond Chancellor, too. Are there any Tory MPs called Clarkson?
