May 28th, 2010 was a very important day in my life. I didn’t know that at the time but it was. This was the day that the iPad went on sale in the UK and I bought one just after its launch – although I’m not too sure when that was. What I do know is that by the November of the year I was making silly little drawings like the one above. The reason why I mention this is because I have had an iPad, of one version or another, for the whole time that the Conservative Party has been in government. I’m really not sure what to make of that.
One of the sillier things uttered up by Grant Shapps in recent time is that we must vote Tory to stop the Labour Party getting a super majority. This is a silly because in British politics there is no such thing as a super majority – there is only a majority. Any government likes to have a large majority but to get legislation through the House of Commons they need a majority of 1. Anything else is just bragging.
I guess what Shapps was actually saying was please don’t give the Tories a Super Defeat. Or more accurately please don’t vote Labour in Welwyn and Hatfield ‘cos I still want to be an MP. If the polls are to be believed, and by making such an appeal it would seem that Rishi Sunak et al believes them, Shapps will be defeated and have to fall back on other employment – insert your own joke here.
One final thing. The other two drawings on this post were created yesterday on my latest iPad, although not THE latest iPad. Have my skills improved? You decide.
